Arovax

We wrote an Article called "Two Whales" about fighting against spyware/malware/adware. I would like you guys to read it in our Blog. You can discuss the article and leave your comments in our Blog as well. As always we will appreciate feedback from you guys. I hope this article will be helpfull for both: those who are new to Internet and do not know much about threats which it can bring as well as advanced users who might find something usefull in it. Thank you! -Arovax

No, right now Arovax Shield supports IE and in the nearest future - Firefox.

Please try to install Arovax Shield and take your own look on it. We did our best in order to simplify interface for average internet user not to get lost in tonns of settings.

I am sorry, Rridgeley, but in my opinion I have to admit that your statement is incorrect. First, you should not think that Firefox is invulnerable. It's invulnerable as long as it's unpopular. As soon as the number of its users is comparable to those of IE, Firefox bugs will come up as well. It's open source and it's easier to find bugs having source code on hands. Moreover, there was a precedent already - bugs that allow executing .exe file where found in Firefox. Second, Spyware Blaster is far away from an ideal antispyware solution, if you like it - use it, it's good, but it doesn't mean its perfect and will save you from all harm on Internet. No one is perfect. If a perfect spyware solution would exist - we wouldn't have spyware problem nowadays. Third, each good type of product on the security market has its own niche to fill. And preventing spyware from infiltrating the PC and scanning PC for spyware are two different things. Doing scan every two weeks without having a good preventive engine won't save you - during two weeks your private information can be exposed hundred times. Thank you -Arovax

Well try to contact their Support guys. I am sure someone has to answer the call keeping in mind SpyBot is such a popular software.

I didn't use SpyBot myself so i can't say much about SpyBot except that i respect it's creator for what he does. Every software has bugs and if he knows about this bug there's probably a reason for the fact it's not fixed yet. Give it some time.

At the moment Arovax develops spyware/adware Scanner, but it is not yet decided on how it will be distributed.

Yeah Humpty, Sandboxie is a nice tool, but it does not work with Win9X, also we could not launch it on Win2003. Also u have to pay for it after 30 days in order to get full features otherwise you will be bugged with notices about registering.

Hello TwostedMetal! Tracking cookie works only with IE now, in the nearest release Firefox/Mozilla support will be added. On our Forum you can suggest us how to improve our software, if you need ANY feature in it and you think this feature would be cool to have for all Arovax Shield users - just speak up your mind - we will implement it asap. Afterall, all we do is done with User in mind. Thank you, -Arovax

We appreciate your warm comment Vanguard382, we'll do our best to not let down your expectations from future updates and customer support Thank you for staying with us. -Arovax

That is what we believe in and that is what we do. Putting all our efforts into increasing Internet surfers' PC Security with our software products so we are on the same boat Well, maybe it's a wrong word i picked up. But the point is - it looks good and easy, hangs in tray and does not bother you most of the time and addresses you only when something is going on. That is my subjective point of view. You are free to install, check it out and make your own conclusions or suggestions on how to improve it. That is why i am here for - for you to be heard when you have anything to say about our product, either it will be a test-comment or a suggestion. I am sorry i did not mean to hurt your feelings in any way. With "average internet surfer" i meant an "average Joe" - not advanced PC user who is confused in all the variety of PC security programs coming in daily. I am confident that Arovax will become a first obstacle for all sorts of malware trying to infiltrate such user's PC. We really tried to make it user-friendly. Thank you -Arovax

Here is a small quote by MS representative, stating that MSAS will be available ONLY for licensed Windows users and Enterprise version will be paid. What this means is - if you have a non-registered version of Windows - next time you update it - it will be blocked. As we have been saying since day one, Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware will be available at no charge to licensed users of Windows. Users who validate their Windows install through WGA will be allowed to download the AntiSpyware beta, as well as the full standalone version of AntiSpyware when it releases to the web. The enterprise version of Windows AntiSpyware is targeted to companies who want to centrally manage their Windows AntiSpyware infrastructure. The enterprise version of Windows AntiSpyware will be available for a cost Well, that's not the point of my Post anyways. The point is - MSAS and Arovax Shield are different types of security products and they can not be compared. In the end, it's always up to you what to install and what to use. It's a free country. If you install and use Arovax Shield - we are always here on our company websites or forums to help you with whatever help you need. Thank you! -Arovax

Arovax Shield is a different level program comparing with Microsoft AntiSpyware. MSAS scans and looks for spyware, it ALSO has SOME functions of Shield, but not all. More than that - MSAS is about to become paid. Arovax Shield works like a firewall in registry/hosts file/cookies. Arovax Shield prevents installation of spyware/trojan/viruses to the Startup and informs User about possible attack... It's small, it's VERY easy-to-use, it's convenient and it's "cute" Arovax Shield is exactly what most average Internet surfers need as a first wall of their PC security fortress. Thank you, -Arovax

Arovax Shield right now uses about 8-10 Mb of memory (it's all due to graphical GUI and using of Internet Explorer windows). According to our Statistics - more than 50 000 users downloaded and use Arovax Shield during the last two months.

It's being 2 months since we released first build of Arovax Shield - and right now we are on same technological level with Prevx and Winpatrol, which are there for a very long time. We raise functionality with our each new release, that is why we are absolutely confident, that in the nearest future users will not compare, but will choose us as a leader in this field of Online security industry of XXI century. More than that - Arovax Shield is absolutely free for use

Thx thedon57, we appreciate your help!

Dear CCleaner forum community! Consider the possibility of downloading and testing of a new freeware tool - Arovax Shield at http://www.arovaxshield.com and post your comments about it here. We would be very glad to hear what you think about this program. Arovax Shield? is a brand new type of personal security solution that is unlike any firewall, anti-virus or spyware remover. Rather than looking for spyware traces or tracking applications that secretly send or receive data over the Internet, Arovax Shield blocks any attempt by malicious software to add entries to the auto-start menu, change the registry, hijack or install itself into a browser or find any other way to stealthy get itself onto a PC. You can Download Arovax Shield for free from our Download Page. Thank you! -Arovax
