    What antivirus is this? Because if an antivirus software tells me to manually delete files (supposedly because it itself, running with full privileges, is unable to do so), then the antivirus software would be wiped together with the rest of the system, and it's not going to be reinstalled.

  • the antivirus software is Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac - most often it deletes threats, but at times it apparently is unable to do so and those require manual deletion

    @markus-nm So, if a virus is located on a CD-ROM, you blame the anti-virus for not being able to remove it?

  • If the anti-virus tells me to DELETE a file from a CD-ROM then yes, I do blame the antivirus (or rather I would consider it to be a bad product and not use it).
