Malware Defender
Out of curosity, does anyone still use malware defender? Been on linux for quite some time, have been focusing on that for quite a while, and, lets just say im a bit rusty on the whole security on the windows side...

Re: Malware Defender
Some good amount still use MD because of its complete HIPS-ness and because it is free. It is quite flexible, but depends on the extent of your knowledge to have a greater control of the system. Nevertheless, the only limitation is 32bit only.

Re: Malware Defender
Ah, yes, I recall some fuss about HIPS programs and x64. I guess the author of Malware Defender never got around releasing the 64 bit...or, couldn't...
Kind of a bummer, wanted to run this bad boy on my new laptop. |

Re: Malware Defender
Comodo, Online Armor, Outpost and Privatefirewall are all firewalls with good HIPS.

Re: Malware Defender
i have stopped using Malware Defender (Torchsoft) long ago as it showed up some important bugs. development has stopped, some minor issues fixed years ago. i wont say it does not work any more but i have doubt it catches all.
i change hips to nearly nothing - it was boring at least and annoying enough and in some cases some of my decisions cut lot of functionality. i let applications do as they want cause they are legit. my personal opinion - people investigate too much time into such software instead working. if it happens - it will happens - a proper backup is best way out. if you want to investigate to HIPS, try Online Armor, best hips ever from my view. its clear and easy, its highly customizable.

Re: Malware Defender
Thanks...
I also enjoyed Defensewall, and though the customization isn't really there (its a different kind of hips afterall), i might just make the switch to that. |
