For example, the message is only generated if the a virus pattern matched and before any change actually occurs. But 'allowed' for would probably not generate the messageĢ - coordination with the security vendors should enable some degree of change prevention.
One would assume thatġ- good design in this space would expect backup files would be copied and allow for that, including a suitable text in the message. IMHO that alert message is irresponsibly vague - basically poor design. One would not expect explorer to change a data file during copy, but it seemed very likely that scanning a large (25gb) compressed backup data file may yield a match with virus pattern and if allowed the file would be modified - effectively invalidating the backup file. I became concerned when I actually read the detail of the alert message (same in each case above) - a program (AVG or windows explorer) was attempting to modify the backup file. My normal response to the alert was to "allow for one hour", but that did not apply to the 2nd file, which also required an allow action. when copying any backup file, eg from the 'backed-up location' to an external drive which will be the 'off PC' copy. Possibly because they were the first ones so detected and alerted. Only the files associated with the system drive or the textual data drive seem to be affected, ie generate the alerts. tib files, each highly compressed and a max of 25Gb. To clarify, a system wide backup by partitions generates around 352Gb in 23. during a scan by a security product (AVG), but only selected files. Active protection has been 'in my face' since 2018 was released, primarily 2 ways:
