Just a quick poll to those of you who have computers at work. Are they running Ahn Labs Security Suite?

Let me know, thanks.

It was, until I took it off sharpish and put AVG on there. Too many bad memories of Ahnlab.l

We have Vir Robot or something thats running on all the school comps. My comp is an old piece of shit here that drags when i have firefox and powerpoint running at the same time...heaven forbid multi tasking. So i kill almost every process I can these days.

Ahn Labs V3 is a POS.

It's even worse in schools, where it's usually out of date. If you have that on your computer, and are able to take it off -- get rid of it. I saw several computers get wasted from viruses due to that. My office computer had that on there until 2 months ago, when I got hit by that WindowsXP virus thing from hell. Ahnlabs let it sail on through and it became so infected, my only option was to get Windows reinstalled.

I've had the best luck with AVAST Home free version, and I'm currently running Spybot on the side. I was trying Avira for the past month, and it didn't impress me overall. I've tried AVG, but it didn't clean well, and the new version is a bloated pig.

If I get rid of it the network won't allow me to access the internet. Weird aye! I might be able to now with Firefox installed but I don't want to have to go to the techie.

My co-teacher has an Ahnlab update for Microsoft office. It updates everyday in class and won't close! It drives me insane!

I might give it a go (as in delete it) tomorrow then. I hopefully won't lose my internet access, I don't know how they blocked it. Without it installed no websites would load until I clicked on the automatically loaded page to download and install the software.

Ahn Labs should be known as asslabs. Their software is horrible.

I've ripped it out as best I can. The main thing is no longer running but I couldn't get it completely removed. I can access stuff through firefox but IE goes to a webpage that installs some policy agent. It doesn't do anything because I have all the services disabled.

Anyone actually manage to remove Ahn Labs entirely from their boxes?

I went in safe mode, got rid of registry entries, services, anything I could from add/remove. I thought I had it cleared out but its still there, even though its disabled. I want it gone

[nolan]

I can't remove Ahn Labs Policy Agent, no matter what I do.

AhnLab at my school is the least of my worries. We've got this PCKeeper garbage that you can't uninstall without a password (and naturally, no one knows the password). I don't even know what the f*ck it does, if anything. I'm sure it can't be good. Then, the local tech dorks keep installing some sh*tty antivirus program that looks like an ecstasy tab. You know the one? It's for sh*t. Add to that AlZip (and all the other "Al" products that come with it), and then the icing on the cake is all the goofy keyboard protector netizenprotector and whatever the f*ck else protector programs because Korea refuses to get with the f*cking program...Jesus H.

I have to uninstall all of this sh*t EVERY SINGLE GODDAM DAY because the Korean teachers manage to put it back on.

Heads. Must. Roll.

Koreans have no concept of anti-hack, or anti-virus software. Believe yoooouuu me.

Just get a WinPE Live CD or USB key boot the puter from that.

[Xuanzang]

skconquerer how did you get it off?

[cmr]

All computers in my school have the same intranet software to send each other messages and same antivirus and whatever else... except mine!

Nobody seems to care about what I do with my computer. There is a technician who comes twice a week. Once, he installed some kind of fvckep up antivirus, which I deleted promptly, and never have I seen anything "foreign" on my computer again.
