False Positive Detection | Antivirus False Positive

A false detection or false positive occurs when your antivirus software sends a virus alert message or makes a log file entry that identifies a virus where none actually exists.

You can see false detections if you have antivirus software from more than on vendor installed on your computer. Because some anti-virus software stores the code signatures it uses for detection unprotected in memory. The safest course to take when you see an alert message or log entry is to treat it as a genuine virus threat and to take the appropriate steps to remove the virus from your computer system. But if you believe that the antivirus software has generated a false detection ( ie. it flags a file as "infected" when you have used it safely for years ) , check for one of more of the following situations before you contact your antivirus software company.

Computer viruses can be avoided by implementing some simple and easy rules. Try to learn and remember these tips and tricks. Here are some tips for avoid computer virus.

1. Your antivirus tools loaded into memory and antivirus software should be active each time the PC starts.
2. If you can not keep antivirus tools running be sure to scan removable media (eg. pen drive) and downloads for viruses before you use them.
3. Back up your important work files and entire system regularly. So, this would not help you prevent from viruses but regular backups can help you to recover if a virus should slip through and cause trouble on your computer system.
4. Keep the signature files updated on a regular basis. Download directly from your antivirus makers website. Or make sure that your automatic update option of antivirus is turn on.

Data Recovery Tips

Regardless of the particular data recovery software that you are using, data recovery is a fairly automatic process. You recover the files or you do not. Here in this website we will discuss and give you some data recovery tips which may help you get the most from your data recovery process :

• The most and important data recovery tip for you is - always keep a current backup of your work in progress. Even if you have to reinstall an operating system and applications from scratch, you can easily restore the backup of your work and keep going. If you have no backup, and you are unable to recover the data, you may need to start from scratch. Periodically, you should practice restoring you backups to verify the media and restoration process. Backups would not do any good if you do not know how to restore them.
• Always make sure that, the suspect drive is specified correctly in the CMOS Setup. Changing a drives geometry can render the drive inaccessible - until the original drive geometry setting are restored. This happens frequently when moving hard drives from one system to another system.
