BOBRGR Posted July 30, 2015 SAS scan usually kicks up <100 detections on a pc 1-2 days between scans. This morning I updated SAS on 2 PC's, ran scans and it kicks up >300 baddies on one, >500 on the other...never seen numbers close to that. In both cases I shut down SAS using task manager before doing the clean. I had a bad experience with Avast once when a bad definitions file flagged necessary system files as baddies, so I distrust out of bounds scans...especially since 2 PC's were involved and I hadn't visited any Badlands that would increase the number of detections. Please confirm that SAS has or has not had a problem update. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOBRGR Posted July 30, 2015 I ran SAS on another PC [After creating a restore pt]..a laptop I hadn't scanned for 11 days but updated yesterday with database 11987. Found 547 trackers, again way over average, but I looked them over, found nothing but cookies. Looked like many were duplicate listings of the same cookie. None of them looked like keepers so I cleaned them. No adverse effects seen. I opened a couple of sites the browser is supposed to know and it knew them. Still, strange looking at the July scan logs, threats detected: 2, 2, 77, 3, 77 and then today 547 threats detected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoff Posted July 31, 2015 Hi All, We actually did a little tune-up on our cookie detection, so what you're seeing comes as no surprise. Thanks for using SAS! Geoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOBRGR Posted July 31, 2015 Thanks for answering. <<so what you're seeing comes as no surprise>> If there's a way of letting wary users know what's coming, the surprise would be lessened. I've noticed that quite often the same cookies kept coming back...hope the change curtails that a bit. Thanks again. SAS is a very good program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noelk Posted August 2, 2015 SAS is now taking all day to remove detections. At least 8 hours. Is this normal now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
