So although both products gave your system a one shot clean bill of health it is likely meaningless as far as a potential silver sparrow infection. Even if they did have the silver sparrow signature a one shot scan does not mean you system is still clean even minutes after such a scan.

Just saying.

NOTE: Threat lists can be deceptive because not everyone uses the same name for a given threat although silver sparrow is getting enough press that is less likely.

Thanks for the information. And yes, just because neither of those programs found anything at the time such scans were done, who's to say if it is not present after those scans?
