It looks like Norton 360 with blue color...

wow another cheap lifetime license. Can you say DriveSentry. Damn, either give it away at start up, or charge a fortune like Prevx, to make you think it has to be good at that price.;)

I'm going to trial your product because it sounds very promising!!
I also submitted a request for the free license for active students

Good luck developing your products

Prevx is Good :) I don't know much about Total Protect. Has anyone tested their product? How long have they been in business? I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. They may have potential. Only time will tell.

Now that's what I call a nice price ;D ...but at what real cost? :dry:

No 9x/ME support? (I wonder if we old, very old OS users are becoming an overlooked majority. You know, like the very same people who haven't updated their Norton AV in the past 5 or 6 years.)

Element TotalProtect 2010 does in fact run on the older dos based windows family, that being the ME / 98 line, but it is not supported by Element Software.

You can run it on that OS but you cannot expect support from us if anything goes wrong. :P

However many components such as realtime protection, automatic pc tuneup and the firewall components do not work on 9X since they were only created for NT based operating systems.

Hope this helps.

It patches your windows registry and operating system in common areas that worms insert malicious code, essentially blocking any access that a virus may have to that part of the operating system, before your PC can even be effected. This is essential for xp users since they are left in the open, without Vistas god gift of UAC.

Any changes ETP makes to your system can be reversed by using the Rescue Center feature.

:) I certainly hope so. If I keep working hard, I might get somewhere ;)

Element Software itself has been running since 2006, And sales of Element TotalProtect started in late 2008.

[zfactor]

can the install be custom to not include all the modules??

I installed Element TotalProtect 2010 and set all of the options it has and then started to test it. I couldn't get it to detect anything, I might be doing something wrong but I don't think so. After trying everything I have against it and getting no alerts I deleted it and reinstalled my regular protection. I don't believe that this software is ready for prime time yet.

bigc, you testing it against those DOS viruses from the 60s.;)

lol -- I think I'll buy the lifetime beta license. :argh:

[bigc73542]

I will admit my collection I test with is not totally up to date but nothing quite as old as the sixties.;)

[pandlouk]

I gave it a quick run on xp sp3 and here is what I didn't like.

1.The firewall.
a. It seems that you use the open source WIPFW (http://wipfw.sourceforge.net/index.html), but unless I missed it you do not mention it anywere in your software. and you do not include any help document about setting the firewall rules.
b. it does not support IPv6 Protocol

2. The uninstall process
Leaves behind 3 services.

On what AV is it based?

[bigc73542]

As far as I can tell it is home grown.

Thanks
Curious about the detection than

Please check this page for a full list of viruses and procesess that TotalProtect detects and removes :

http://www.elementsoftware.co.uk/totalprotect/viruslist.html

Anything that Element TotalProtect can remove is listed there. Additionaly the virus definitions are updated daily, so running an update today would give you definitions that were released 1st September 2009.

Element TotalProtect has been in development since early 2006 (It was orignally named Element Protect, since it was just AV protection then, but now ETP provides much more functionalities.) Its the same technologies that has been in development since.

[jakestephenjackson]

Another update-

The Element TotalProtect team have launched a new, free online scan service. You can use this free scan online to scan for spyware, viruses and other malicious software. The service runs the same way that other popular online scan tools run, such as HouseCall, OneCare etc.

However, it does not serve as an anti-virus replacement, but it is good if you are on the go and you need a quick scan!

The online scan requires a Windows XP or higher OS, and Internet Explorer 6 or above. Additionaly a 560KB framework component must also be installed prior to the scan in order for things to work smoothly.

You can run a free, online scan here: http://elementsoftware.co.uk/totalprotect/onlinescan.html

Thanks once more :)

At this time no. However we do have a free online scanning service and virus removal tools avaliable for use, free of charge.

Do you have detection and disinfection algorithms for common file infectors? (Virut, sality, induc) etc?

aha!

Synchronicity!

One thing I have noticed about Wilders forum, members and/or their products had better be able to stand up to scrutiny before posting here or they will get picked apart.:shifty: Which I think is a good thing.:thumb:

Identical ! .. from A to Z. ???

It's almost like a rogue to feature your product like this. :thumbd:

Some very revealing info/links provided by several previous posters. I guess we're all looking forward to a suitable response to appear shortly !

Yeah, thanks to the 2 sharp eyed experts. Lame to see the virus list page removed but other pages still there to sell. It's a ROGUE for god's sake!

The global portal is still open of you want to buy it.:D ;D

[Securon]

Good Evening ! Let's spin a feel good moment about a young lad making good in the world. Sentiment aside and not withstanding a nineteen yr old has been presented the smarts too present us with a new anti virus product, especially at the mind altering price point of $6.99. Having been employed at an occupation where I ask credibility profiles of individuals who are less than credible, this aroused my interest immediately as too the possibility of misrepresentation of Element Total Protect and it's legitimacy. Maybe their might exist a happy ending,but as of this moment my gut check thinks not. Sincerely...Securon
