Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 failed to detect virus.

Hi everyone,

I have Bitdefender Internet Security 2012. I have a problem with that. It fails to detect any virus in USB. One can tell why it is so?

do you even have a virus in your usb?

do you even have a virus in your usb? because i believe bitdefender has one of the finest detections out there.

I agree with Bluedot, If there is not a virus on you usb it will not detect it. Scan the usb with Malwarebytes and see if it finds anything.

Yeah. There was a virus in usb and it was detected by Microsoft Security Essential but bitdefender failed to detect it.
Worm:Win32/Rimecud.A, this was the virus which is detected by Microsoft Security Essential.

Ahsan do You have two AV on your PC ?..
Check a suspicious file to virustotal. Maybe a false positive.

Ahsan,

Check the usb with Emsisoft Anti-Malware. In some case the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware may not detect .

Happy New Year to you all !!!

every PC that i've tried BIS 2012 on has run slow compared to other AVs so that would be the least of my worries

Not all antivirus are created equal.
You may want to use X-Ray to submit the virus to all antivirus companies.

Ahsan please archive the sample and protect the archive with the password "infected", then email to virus_submission@bitdefender.com
Can you describe this case and to demand an explanation.

Good luck!
