When running a Virus scan, I frequently get a number of "Infected files detected" in BDIS 2014. 99% of the time, this is because I've picked up some dodgy tracking cookies, which on their own, are not really major threat, and come with the territory of browsing the web.
The problem is, everytime I see "Infected files detected" I tend to panic a little and get a bit paranoid, as there's a small chance it could actually be a Trojan, Worm or Virus this time. If what I'm thinking turns out to be true, I don't want to have to wait until the end of the scan to have it removed, and I want to be sure to have changed all of my important passwords ASAP.
Here's where the problem becomes major for me:
In order to see what the infected files are during a scan, I ether have to stop the scan altogether, or wait up to an hour for the scan to complete. Obviously, because I'm rather paranoid, I tend to stop the scan to check what the infection is, after which I have to start the scan over again.
The solution to this would be simple enough, as there are 2 options, 1 or both of which could be fairly easily implemented.
1. Show realtime scan results during the scan. i.e List infected files found while the scan is ongoing.
2. Move tracking cookies to the Yellow Category instead of the Red Category. Categorizing tracking cookies in the same category as viruses leads to unnecessary panic.
Other than that BDIS is a great program, which has protected me from many unwanted infections.
