About Behaviour blocker?

ok i see thanks again

 

Re: About Behabiour blocker?

OP asked for "behavior blockers" (BB) such as Threatfire & Mamutu. Many of the replies are listing apps which are NOT BBs, & are not comparable to TF or Mamu.

For definitions of BB, see Hither, Thither, and Yon.

By the way, "heuristics" & "behavior blocker" are NOT synonymous terms.

The other apps listed in prior comments, such as Prevx Edge & Drive Sentry, have some BB attributes, but with a LOT more capabilities tacked onto them.

Threatfire & Mamutu are relatively "pure" behavior blockers. The only other "pure" stand-alone BB (AFAIK) is Primary Response SafeConnect.

 

Re: About Behabiour blocker?

Totally agree.

DS, Zemana, WP.. are being called as Behav blockers.....ok, then any thing can be called a behav blocker.

Behav blockers are:

1- TF
2- PRSC, Norton Antibot
3- Mamutu
4- SONAR but it is not standalone, it,s part of NIS
5- MicrPoint - also not standalone( has lot of signatures also I think)
6- ZAP HIPS( they work more like a behav blocker rather than a classical HIPS)
7- There was something like NovaShield but it was very poor
8- Another one I once read was only for Vista but I never heard about it later and don,t remember the name even

hmmm..... wat else... may be we see more of such applications in future.

 

Good reading. Thanks for asking jmonge and thanks for links too bellgamin. This stuff is starting to sink in a little now.

 

Homework Reading

Uh-huh, well, I can see from working bellgamin's homework assignment that HIPS is intended to give you a much more thorough/detailed picture and degree of control and can see how it can be educational AND I can see how a sophisticated behavior blocker can alert you more thoroughly to risky changes going on, BUT I can see that their utility certainly depends on the sophistication of the user.

I might could dabble with some of these and learn more but I will say that WP Plus has been a good aid to me at my level of knowledge (or ignorance, if you wish). The things I don't have a steel trap granular grasp of in the system, I must rely on NIS and TrojanHunter (more recently DS and Mamutu on different machines) to protect me from. Maybe it's just the way that WPPlus's info is organized all under that one little doggie that makes the system overview more intuitive for me.

Yes, WPPlus is not in the same class as many of these other softwares but, then again, my knowledge level and time I can spend grunting out all the details is not in the same class as some of you, I'm sure.

I'll probably just stick with little Scotty until I run him into the ground like all my other dogs and cars I've owned. LOL

In the meantime, I'll keep on reading....

 

you are welcome

 

Only Threatfire and WinPatrol offer a free version, am I right?

 

threatfire does and winpatrol isnt a BB anyways.

 

i am confuse now what is winpatrol plus?

 

mmm...sorta an IDS

 

intrution detention system?close to hips then?

 

one guy tested winpatrol but i dont know if he tested the free or the plus version,any way winpatrol fail the test cause i think he used virus samples insted of spyware samples and winpatrol is not antivirus it is not but may be close to protect againts spywares

 

WP belongs in the categories of "Light HIPS" n 3d party "Taskmanagers" so its a hybrid really

 

Why not just try it out? The free version gives you the core functionality. The Plus version is not dramatically different/better.

 

but they say that with the paid version you'll get the benefit of real time infiltration detection system in real time

 

"Light HIPS" cool cause i love hips

 

I know you do and in that case its not for you. I think youd be best of with at least 3 classical HIPS

 

lol tricky

 

yeap

 

i will never get a hips program in my wife computer cause she'll go nuts i got her easy stuff like defensewall and or AppRanger and for mua malware defender which give alot and i mean alot of pop ups (normal mode)and mamutu or drivesentry no problem as long wife is happy and has a quiet pc i am happy too

 

I tested threatfire a few days ago but my machine was getting slow like a snail

Are there any free versions available?

Edit: What about EdgeGuard Solo?

 

Drivesentry is free, prevx edge has an unlimited trial (doesnt clean infections, just detects) and i dont think zemana has any free version.

edgeguard is NOT a BB.

 

Thank you firzen

 

no problem
