Tasgandy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have just removed McAfee Total Protection 2015 as it slowed both my PC's greatly, tried suggestions from their support, several configurations to no avail on both Win 7 32bit and Win 8.1 64bit. I now consider that I have wasted my money, teaches me to "trial" the software in furure which is what I am now doing with "Webroot SecureAnywhere Ver. 8.0.8.76" as recomended by my Bank Always With Kind RegardsTasgandy"one is never too old to listen & learn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly_phone Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 recently came across 360 Total Security and it seemed to be a hoax, just didn't look/feel right. curious as to how long you have used it @kelly_phone and your thoughts? Its very good indeed it has a couple of modes and found some malware and virus yes First rate we done the AVG and Avaria thing. we wont pay for an anti virus yes what can one say Sorry lost for words Do not know what to say about it really had it over 6 months I had it in my Imac then was told to not use anti virus in it because macs do not catch colds so I did.. The only thing I do not see the point of is it has an option to patch microsoft updates and quite honestly The laptops a computer and perfectly capable of doing this by its self me thinks. correct me if We're wrong other than that fine good tool.

Moderators mta Posted May 4, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2015 do yourself a favour and put it back in the Mac, they DO get viruses, I've seen it. admittedly not many but that's only due to the fact that Macs have less than 10% global market share of the PC pie so everything relating to them is also similarly skewed. my analogy is "buy a Ferrari, they are a reliable car, when is the last time you saw one broken down along the side of the road?". it's all relative.

eL_PuSHeR Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I am now using Panda FreeAV 2015.1 edition. Seems quite good and lightweight. I have discarded (temporarily possibly) Windows Defender because there is no way to open a scan via a right click. It also seems both Panda and other detect some PUPs and adware too that MSE/WD doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eL_PuSHeR Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks Hazelnut. I knew about that. I meant invoking the GUI and having an icon in system tray (like MSE does on Windows 7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted May 10, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2015 Right I am unclear what you mean. Do you mean you cannot get Win8 Defender to show icon in tray?

eL_PuSHeR Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 As far as I know Windows Defender hasn't got any icon in system tray. I would be happy to know I am wrong though. To open its GUI I usually do the route Control Panel -> Windows Defender PS - I am talking about Windows 8.1 obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I am using AVAST. But the current build/version is IMO too intrusive. When I disable the AV (for system maintenance) then some processes keep running in the background. Those processes simply pass on everything that happens but they seem to keep CPU at a higher level than I feel comfortable with. And there're a number of other small things that I don't like. All things combined makes it highly likely that I going to switch to another AV in the future.

eL_PuSHeR Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I am now testing AVG and I am quite satisfied with it, specially after manually instructing it to warn about PUPs and other adware. It detects OpenCandy and such even at installation. As far as I know (and tested) neither MSE, nor Panda nor Avast will issue any warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eL_PuSHeR Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 OpenCandy, hmm I don't know because it's wrapped "in a wrapper" hidden inside installers. Just saying. When installing certain software that comes bundled with OpenCandy, AVG alerted me about an OpenCandy DLL in Windows temporary folder. And it could be deleted if needed. Taking that action didn't stop the software from installing properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted May 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2015 It's certainly nice that AVG can stop it, some antivirus companies steer clear of doing such things possibly fearing being sued. Although OpenCandy in installers is the least of things I'd worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKNROLL Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Well I have an interest story for you guys I figured I would share. My very first Anti-Virus was Nortons, but I have to say, I am glad I no longer that anymore. After that,I moved onto MalwareBtes, Avast and Superantispyware and became a malware hunter for them. I was with them for a long time, until lthis company called ZeroVulnerabilityLabs (ZVL) emerged and I left the other companies and decided to join them. They were the company responsible for ExploitShield, which is now called Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit after they bought out ZVL. I then left Malwarebytes and joined ClamAV, ClamWin, BleachBit, and Clam Sentinel and got into open-source software and bcame a "open-source junkie". Now I work for all of them, except for ClamAV, I am just a signature maker for them, and have been happy with them ever since. ClamWin/ClamAV has made some major changes these past few months, dramaticly improving detection ratios that was introduce in .98 and .99 (currently in beta at ClamAV). Once ClamAV .99 comes out of beta, ClamWin will then release their beta version of .99 and once it has been released, we should be seeing some major improvments in detection. I guess I am the only one who voted for ClamWin, too, haha. I am a maintainer for Winapp2. I also have a open-source group on Steam. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/opencommunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 22, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2015 My problem with ClamWin used to be that it didn't have an auto-protect (always on scan); is that still the case? ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

ROCKNROLL Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I assume he is talking about Clam Sentinel and ClamWin combining. The reason that never happened, yet, was because the original developer of Clam Sentinel, for some reason, did not want to combine them and he wanted to move away from ClamWin and make his own AV out of it, but, since the original seems to have abandon it, my parter and I decided to improve the heuristics of Sentinel and combined it with ClamWin. I agree with you though, that should have been done along time ago. I am a maintainer for Winapp2.

car100 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 New guy here, I've been using Kapersky for 4 years now, but lately not satisfied, seems it starting slowing down my laptop once I installed Win-10, so I removed it and went strickly Windows Defender, so far things are fine,but I also use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and CCleaner-Free Version. What do you guys think of those two? Thanks I just found the CCleaner forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
