Arovax - any info?

Hi everybody.
Does anyone know a bit more about the Arovax products, i.e. the Arovax Shield and the Arovax AntiSpyware? Are they to be trusted, or are they yet another shady apps themselves?
I would appreciate any thoughts about Arovax.

 

There are much better security softwares than little Arovax.

 

I tried it, but found that even when I deactivated the relevant features it would reset my browser settings to defaults and never-before-run page, disrupt file associations, and so forth, so I removed it.

 

There are much better APPS at this time than Arovax Shield and Arovax Anti-Spyware. Consider them Beta's, they have a lot of room for improvement and at this time they still have some issues. Hopefully in the future they will increase what they can protect against. I use them both for the record . So yes if you like beta's or have good ideas on what to add to the products, download them for a bit and give them a shout on their forums of what you think.

 

Beta-malwares are Arovax Shield/Anti-Spyware's strength.

 

Thank you guys so much.

 

I don't think post #5 is meant to be helpful. Sad to say.

Arovax Shield is similar to WinPatrol. However, Winpatrol has more capabilities, is NOT beta, but is in a very advanced version.

WinPat is used by lots & lots of satisfied users. It has both a free version & a Plus/non-free version. I suggest you give the freebie a trial & (if you like it) switch to the non-free Plus version -- it's *$5 off* at the moment.

 

I'll vouch for that. Winpatrol will always have a place in my security setup.

 

Same here - I updated to Plus a couple of years - its extra info on the various
services, etc. has been well worth it.

PCWorld has an article about WinPatrol FWIW.

The program was ranked 13th out of 100 in the magazine review.

it's not a shady/rogue product, if that's what you want to know. As to it's level of protection, it's a pretty decent security application itself.
