Online viewable reporting isn't implemented on our website yet. We disabled removal/uninstall options for now as we're still implementing things like quarantine integration.
Though feel free to vote on things, the data won't be lost. Expect many, many more results to be automatically moved into your "Known Good" lists when we're out of beta. The whitelist and voting database is not the live data. Plus, we're users too! We use SAS to clean the PCs of our friends and families, and how cool would it be to be able to tap into the resources we have at work when we're at a friend's house? So we thought - if we could give SAS users access to some of the technology we use for malware research there'd be another way we could help folks clean their machines if a scan didn't do it automatically. We use a whole bunch of custom tools to organize, triage, identify and create definitions for malware. I kid you not, we get over 150,000 unique malware samples every day. But there's just no possible way that any scanner can find everything all the time. We have a dedicated team of developers and malware researchers (and users!) who feverishly hunt down malware and improve our scanner every day. If something has messed with a program, or added itself, you'll see right away!
SAS Pro Feature: See changes to the files in these key areas within a selected time period. You can leave a comment/note when you vote and you can view the comments from other users on the file details. Everyone sees vote counters for unknown items to help identify good/bad files. Voting will move the item into a different list to narrow down your real list of "Unknowns", and will also help our malware researchers add items to our whitelist or identify potential threats or unwanted programs.
Items that aren't in our whitelist ("Unknown Items") are able to be voted on by our users.
if it's not, we want to hear from you!Įverything found on your system will be checked against our whitelist database of millions of files and trusted software publishers to determine what's good and it gets moved to it's own category so you can safely ignore those. If it's running or configured to run (automatically), it should be in that list. Running programs, installed programs, browser plugins, programs with shortcuts on your desktop, start menu, etc programs in the registry, temp folders, internet cache folders, document folders, well, you get the idea.
It shows you files of interest on your system located in key areas (most common infection points). It's intended for somewhat tech-savvy users, though we've done our best to present the information in a way that anyone could use it. Yes, it's a preview but we wanted to get it into the hands of our testers to get your feedback on it. We have updated the pre-release download with a new build today! Inside System Tools is a preview of our primary snazzy new feature for version 6, System Investigator
