AhnLab SiteGuard: Anyone using it?

[sg09]

-{ Quote: "SiteGuard protects the Internet itself which is the incoming path of malicious codes. This enables to eliminate the possibility of infection at the initial stage prior to getting infected and repaired afterwards. Also, it prevents the damage from phishing sites that were made for the purpose of deception. SiteGuard can promptly respond to new, mutated malwares by using the heuristic detection which can detect the pattern of hacking and injection of malicious scripts. It can also block the site instantly via the scanning function in real-time by getting the risk information of a web page. The risk information is periodically and rapidly updated by the automated process from the separate update server. Moreover, SiteGuard quickly finds out the PC that causes the modification in the internal network via the scanning function of the internet modification. It controls the internet of PC, so the originated place of malicious codes can be figured out. " }-

Sounds like a combination of Firewall, antivirus, and adblock features all thrown into one.

Only works with Internet Explorer, not to mention the following:

-{ Quote: "
Memory: Higher than 256 MB
HDD:More than 300 MB space
" }-

That much memory and HDD space for such software? Heck! I mean, in a system with 1 GB of memory, it will consume more than 1/4 of memory. It's insane.

That would make sense, considering the system requirements, which would be way too much for an application only checking links.

Two of those features can easily be taken care of inside the browser without the huge overhead.

It may be something to keep an eye on for the future. Maybe some day they will lower its memory usage. It would be worth wild if someone wanted to test it against some infected sites on a VM. That would be interesting.

Hi guys,
I guess some confusion is here. I am now trying it under RSS.
1. It is not a suite. Its merely an addon like link scanner. But no search engine integration.
2. It doesn't consume too much RAM or Space. See in the screenshots attached.
3. Its for IE only, that's the sole problem with it. No startup item.

Thank you for the screenshots.

I was, indeed, finding odd the system requirements at the web site.

It seems to be an interesting application.

I tested with some fresh exploit pages from MDL. But many were blocked by my layered security. Other exploits were not blocked. So I am not confident with this app.
I made a mistake. It does show ratings in some web search results.
It didn't block a Fake AV which is detected by AhnLab.
