For several weeks, users in our security forum have been discussing a problem with Kaspersky

Anti-Virus they say the company refuses to properly address. At fault is the company's iSwift

technology, which speeds up virus scans by tagging (NTFS-identifiers) certain files and

tracking whether they've been changed (and thus need to be rescanned).

 

According to forum users, the technology all but breaks CHKDSK functionality, and the changes

are permanent even if you uninstall the software. Kaspersky blames Microsoft for the problem,

but our forum regulars insist the problem is Kaspersky's.

    If it's just ADS added to code files as an integrity check value,

    wouldn't ADS Spy in HiJackThis clean them up?

     

    Or, is the ChkDsk delay cause by issues with security descriptors?

     

    Google( ChkDsk Security Descriptors )

    I'm glad I don't use NTFS, yet.
