Scan Registry

Rampant

In the settings of the manual scan, there is an option to check the registry, I have never seen that would Bitdefender found infected registry keys, why do we need this option? I spent the tests on the infected systems.

Thank you.

Hi Christian! I also will try to conduct tests, and put the results here)

Just did a test, have the infection, visible traces of the virus in the registry, in the second screenshot, the results of the verification of Bitdefender. The scan found no infected registry keys.

While there, I ask forgiveness, that is what is left.

But why in the report of the scan nothing to contaminate the registry?

And the logs are attached below.

* they were made with the commend line scanner integrated in Bitdefender 2013.

So Bitdefender is scanning for registry keys.

Take care.

Why in my case, it did not indicate that the infected registry keys?

Hello

In the log presented at the end of the scan, only the processes and files are displayed.

The logs created with the command line scanner are for advanced users and as you can see in my last post, all the information is displayed, including the associated registry keys.

A registry key by nature can not be infected, is only used by malware to start a process, etc.

Take care.

I know that the registry may not be infected, it can use the virus, but we see in the options registry scan, although the report has no information about the discovery of the problems for which this is done?

Christian, what command should be executed launch the scanner from the command line? I want to spend ed tests. Thank you.

Hello

In that topic Cris explained all the steps.

You can custom all the details for a scan profile by using the command line scanner.

Take care.
