Once again I ran into an annoyance. The problem is R-Admin. While it certainly has potentially hostile implications it is not inherently malware, I should be allowed to whitelist it at the time of detection. I shouldn't have to pause the protection and go manually construct a rule.

If you don't want to simply make it work that why, how about a switch to always allow construction of a rule for those of us who actually know what we are doing?

hello
which kaspersky application are you talking about? radmin is used by malware...frequently, hence the backdoor detection, not just a not-a-virus one.

KIS 7.0

I fully agree that R-Admin should produce a warning. What I'm objecting to is that it's one of the red ones that only offer delete/quarantine rather than the yellow ones that let you run it or create a rule.

that's because it's a backdoor detection, because of the severity. you can contact newvirus@kaspersky.com to change it, and you'll probably get a detailed response.

The thing is, it's merely an example of a class.

What I'm hoping they will do is provide a switch to allow rule creation on all such cases.

Thats what v2009 already does to some extent

I'll give it a try in a few weeks then. I always hold off a bit on new versions of almost anything.
