Virus on crawled pages

[miTreD]

I am running avira (free antivirus) on my pc with online protection turned on. (I did not expected finding anything)
however
during crawling I am receiving many popups of avira
alerting me that some hash on yacy folder has some virus, to me decide what to do
Well ,
invariable I opted "move to quarintine"
*I will look at avira configuration again, to possible automate this answer. (starting to be tired)

I wasnt able to copy avira popup screen to post here, but the most detected virus was html scripting or something like.
I believe bad hackers are in high activity, to remote control too many pcs, and later launch some DDoS atack

Happy new year

AFAIR avira can be configured to not scan special folders on your harddisk. In general it's a good advice to disable virus scanners on the whole YaCy folder. This will improve the performance of YaCy.

I am not with performance issues, (caused by avira online protection)
*very few cpu / ram i/o usage (even @ 220 ppm) your mileage may vary

However I believe is good thing dropping from yacy index
web pages that can potentially infect your pc or of others.

If one opens the search results of yacy on any web browser that
execute any script ,
such as: java , java script . adobe flash, Microsoft Silverligh , xml, etc.

Thus, if these pages are filtered from index, everyone if safe.

The question is how YaCy reacts if a file is being deleted from HTCACHE during indexing. I hope that nothing bad happens but an exception.
