JohnDemolition Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 SWEET i hope that anti-spyware also gets integrated into the free version. if it doesn't, i'll be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 19, 2006 Official press release This should answer the antispyware question, well actually anti-malware question, it's quoted from the official press release: The software's pro-active approach to fighting malware, based on advanced detection methods, will be a significant component of the next generation scanning engine for AVG security products.

Eldmannen Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Perhaps bad because one less competitor. But AVG has a freeware antivirus, so maybe they make a freeware Ewido? Then that would be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Version 4 looks good, hope it stays as good as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators rridgely Posted April 20, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2006 So if they combine Ewido and AVG but keep Ewdio's engine and add AVG's virus deffs then this could be an unstoppable program. Ewido is one of those programs you forget how hard it is to be without. It removes some infections that were previously a nightmare to remove rather effortlessly.

Maybe, maybe not, image if it only takes the disabling of a key component to bypass the whole thing. But since we don't know what will become of the merger all we can do is speculate. Malware writters will always figure a way around even the toughest of defenses with the OS itself being the biggest downfall of all. It's like a professional thief; sure you lock all your doors and windows on the first floor of the house, but that open window with curtains flapping in the wind on the second floor adjacent to a tree in the yard offers another slightly more difficult entry point.

1984 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Thats when i pull out my glock and empty 3 mags of 15 into the damn virus. Wont climb in my window again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowday444 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Yes! ewido is a great app. I have the paid version and several other top apps and it was the only one that found and removed Tacoda cookies. Had never heard of them and found on their forum how they ride the back of other cookies and that the only way they can be removed (besides with ewido) is to allow third party cookies from the Tacoda site (now that reminds me of a MS maneuver!).

Tarun Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 AVG is not that great; so this may hinder, even cripple ewido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwillener Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Version 4 looks good, hope it stays as good as it is now. Where do you get version 4? I am still 3.5... AVG is not that great; so this may hinder, even cripple ewido. I hope they won't bundle AVG and Ewido into one product; I like to have my choice anti-virus and anti-spyware products. Also some users have corporate-wide anti-virus ware installed, and multiple a-v wares on one computer is definitely not a good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokoike Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Since I use AVG Free as my antivirus, I thought this sounded pretty sweet, until I read this: ...the business model is to offer upgrades to paying licensees, with the additional features of firewall and anti-spyware as reasons to go for the upgrade. So yeah, it looks like if you want all of that antispyware goodness, you'll have to break down and spend some money. Thanks for the info, hazelnut. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenknight Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 They say they'll continue to offer the free edition separately. I hope they stick to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted April 20, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2006 Where do you get version 4? I am still 3.5... Not out yet, but previewed on the ewido website. Beta out on 24th of this month I think.

JohnDemolition Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 so if i am understanding correctly, AVG will become something like Norton's Security Suite. except better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 20, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2006 so if i am understanding correctly, AVG will become something like Norton's Security Suite. except better. One could possible say that, they already have AVG plus 'AVG+Firewall' however with Ewido's engine and AVG's ICSA Certified antivirus Grisoft will be in a very strong position for a very long time. And something else the acquistion of Ewido may actually help it as a brand and in popularity being alongside a respected antivirus company.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2006 Version 4 is looks much better. I only hope the memory/resources related issues I have with 3.5 are gone because I have to immediately reboot after running a full system scan.

Moderators rridgely Posted April 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2006 I tried to sighn up for this and I havent gotten the email yet to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted April 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2006 Ok I got the link... and I'm not happy. This thing crashed the first time I used it, and then while it was scanning I could barely surf the internet and use mediamonkey to listen to music at the same time. This thing isn't ready for public use, which is why its just a beta. I would wait untill the final version before downloading it if you haven't already got it. They better not have ruined one of my favorite programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
