Dialog boxes - ideas and suggestions
I am always amazed that a company uses the most tiny dialog boxes to display information. In this respect I am talking about the "Files in quarantine" dialog box. The "File Path" is only around 30-40 characters long and you have to click on the File Path in order to see (for a few seconds) the path. There are two problems with this: 1)If the path is really long - you can't read it all, and 2)It disappears after a few seconds. Further, you can't expand the dialog box. There is only "? _ X" in the upper-right corner. There needs to be a box to expand on the dialog so you can see it all. There should also be a way to expand upon the File Path AND TO BE ABLE TO SELECT THE FILE PATH so you could go look at where the file was originally placed.
Last, but not least - I have no idea why a lot of the files I have - have suddenly become virus centers. TRs and HEURs and PUAs - it is a lot. I went from not having any to having 163 items that are infected and there are a lot of these "Suspicious" files. Makes me wonder what has happened.
Oh well - off to look at all of these files and see what is wrong with them. By the way - sorry for having to post this. Actually, I wanted to just make some suggestions but there isn't a way to do that.

Just wanted to add - the first item says TR/Crypt_XPACKG.... on C:\DOS\groff\bin\soelim.exe.
This is a DOS program which I've had for years yet - now it has a Trojan on/in it? This is a part of the groff (unix-for-windows) package and has been around for years.

Hello mark.
Thank you for your Feedback about the Files in quarantine dialog box.
We will give this feedback to the regarding department for a further reviewing of that to change something in the future.
For the other problem it seems your system is infected if you said you had nothing and now 163.
You can read more about the TR/Crypt-XPACKG here (In english):
I recommend to do a Full Scan with our Antivirus Software and check what messages you get from that.
Best,

Ok. Let's assume a program I have had for over ten years and as far as my backups go (I keep a five year backup) has exactly the same program - now - has a trojan. So does that mean the trojan has been there for over five years or more or maybe just came that way?
That was my first question. The second question is - how come Avira (or any other anti-virus program) does not FIX the problem rather than just "Let's just throw this program away"? As a programmer myself, in assembly, it would be very easy to just insert NO-OP (or NOP or NOOP or whatever you want to call it) commands into the code where the trojan is located with a single RET at the end. So the trojan basically gets replaced with a do-nothing (or No Operation) set of commands with a single return (RET) at the end. In this way, anything that triggers the trojan gets nothing back at all.
Just wondering because there are databases out there with the EXACT code for the virus. I mean, after all, you have to have that just to find the virus. So why not wipe out the virus and leave the program?
