Moderators rridgely Posted November 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2006 The new version of arovax shield is out. This one is much improved over the last one. It now supports cookie blocking in opera, also they added a rules tab so that you can manage all the choices you made and change them. You have to check a box in the boxes that ask for your decision for it to show up in the rules tab. Its really light on system resources(around 10mb at the most usually around 3-5) Its not to intrusive, it doesn't annoy you too often, and it seems to work. If you want a real time spyware protection this should be good enough.(like I've said before I'm not a fan of running anything real time besides an antivirus and firewall but this really is light and stays out of your way). http://www.arovaxshield.com/shield36.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJpailo Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 yup, Im a big fan of arovax but I read someone it was de-listed from anti-rogue spywares. Does that mean its unsafe or just unknown? This was the reason I uninstalled the last version I had because I was unsure. http://www.lavasoftusa.com http://wiki.lunarsof.../PC_Maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted November 19, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2006 It was never listed on spyware warrior's list, so its safe. Plus the developers have a forum set up and go to other forums to answer questions.(not something a rouge program developer would be doing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question? Is it wise to run this in combination with SuperAntispyware? SuperAntiSpyware is in real time mode. Or is Arovax better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted November 19, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2006 I guess you could run them both but I would just run SAS. They both do about the same thing.(SAS probably does it better since it has a deffinitions database backing it up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2006 I don't think version 2 is compatible with Windows 9x/Me anymore though so users of those OSes will have to stick with version 1.3.15 - well at least according the the Arovax Shield beta thread that is. I was using Spybot-S&D's TeaTimer (after using the GUI fix hack), but may switch to the new Arovax Shield to just give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannis_GR Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Question? Is it wise to run this in combination with SuperAntispyware? SuperAntiSpyware is in real time mode. Or is Arovax better? Yes, it is 100% safe, at least in my PC. I use Arovax products (Shield, SmartHide, Antispyware) for months along with SuperAS and nothing bad happened. I don't think version 2 is compatible with Windows 9x/Me anymore though so users of those OSes will have to stick with version 1.3.15 - well at least according the the Arovax Shield beta thread that is. I was using Spybot-S&D's TeaTimer (after using the GUI fix hack), but may switch to the new Arovax Shield to just give it a try. Right, AShield 2 is for only XP/2000 systems any more.
