Just activated mine. It uses Bitdefender and Emsisoft engines. Screenshots: http://giveaway.ht95.net/index/giveaway-ashampoo-anti-virus-2015-unlimited-license/
This thing seems to resurface about once per year. Doesn't it use like 1/2gb of memory? There was some issue with it if I recall.
Huh, now it says 180 days left... But when I clicked on the activation wizard, it changed to unrestricted full version again. LOL So after manual update it changes to 180 days trial, then changes back to unrestricted when I click on activation wizard. Weird....
The behavior blocker is also Emsisoft (formerly marketed as Mamutu) as is the Web/URL filtering. The bdcore engine runs under the Ashampoo AV service; the Emsisoft stuff as itself. The updates check is hard coded every two hours. If that's too much/little, turn off updates and set a task for AAV_Updater.exe in Task Scheduler with timing as needed. Here's the BB options: Say what you want about Ashampoo, this is a Kick-Arse product.
Yes, I noticed. Even posted a screenshot. But still confused by this license issue. True. And it's for version 1.2.0. I think that's why I have issues with license. Installed 1.2.1 instead. Now uninstalled it and found version 1.2.0 here> http://www.storekom.com/download/39397/249
Out of curiosity I downloaded, installed, activated and registered Ashampoo Antivirus. Than I logged me in my account: "Ashampoo® Anti-Virus Version 1.2.1, 2015/07/14 XXXXXX-XXXXXX-A71585 | Full Version License | Valid until: 2016/05/18 | (TechLife) " So this looks like a 6 month licence, not lifetime... I guess it's valid until next upgrade (TechLife)
I thought it was an unlimited license as well. However once it expires I'm sure you'll be able to get another giveaway license, Ashampoo reguarly giveaway software. I just logged into my Ashampoo account to see if it showed an expiry date for the antivirus (since I got the free license but have not installed it), and I have about 30 full version licenses, the vast majority of which I did not pay for.
Same as yours... It changed from unrestricted to 180 days and than back to unrestricted.... To my understanding "unrestricted" does mean full functional, but not lifetime.
I checked my account & its showing Version 1.2.1, 2015/07/14 XXXXXX-XXXXXX-9C3807 | Full Version License | (TechLife). There is no valid until. I had installed Ashampoo & activated & later uninstalled it.
Good Evening! Like Wow Man...Man Like Wow! Woooooooooooow! Psychedelic! Set The Controls For The Heart Of the Ashscampoo...Galaxy! Lol! Sincerely...Securon
What I got from support on the license confusion: So not really unlimited, regardless of what the offer says. Mods, please help me with the title changing!
@Tarantula Thanks for the clarification. It did appear to be a lifetime license, which seemed to be too good to be true.
