    I downloaded the newest version of Ewido (trial for 30 days) and I have a few questions please.

    If you decide not to purchase the full version, what are you left with once the trial is up?

    Can you still get signature updates even though it is now "free" and where do you get them? Is there a website or can you still hit the manual update and get the updates?

    Do you still have the resident shield loading on startup or does that go away altogether?

    Also on the Shield tab- for the Files and Memory box does that mean when the resident shield first loads in windows on startup it checks
    files and memory? or does it do it when it is scanning only.

    I want to test this out first before I recommend it to my clients and of course use it for my own needs.

    thanks
    Robin

    Hi robinb,

    Have a look at shields in ewido 4.0.

    The shield loads at startup, same as the auto-update. :)

    Quite a lot actually, see here:-

    You get sigs by manually clicking the update button on the GUI; but, if it was ever necessary, you can also get them from here:-

    You lose that after the trial.
    As I understand it, the Guard would be scanning all executable files as you attempt to open them and scans memory of all starting applications. I think you would need to do a manual scan to check all memory.
    Very wise. ;)
