Ewido update

I went to update my Ewido prog and it installed 14 days free of Ewido Plus...
It was a nice surprise

 

Just updated, very very interesting indeed.

 

Hmm... What exactly did it do?

Btw. to avoid future discussions... It will soon be possible to completely close the guard

 

Damn... it's just too good

We tested it on several machines without any problems yet.

 

You're totally right! We'll implement that as fast as possible in future versions and setups.

Which locking files do you mean?

 

Sorry, but I can't see a problem here.
How should the ewido guard know what will be detected by other running guards and what not? Therefore it has to detect everything it knows and prevent execution/file access.
Where's the difference between deleting it with ewido and deleting it with KAV?
And last but not least you can deactivate the guard whenever you want....

 

Ok, there's now an option in the setup which lets you decide if you want to install the guard or not, sorry for any inconvenience!

 

What if you have already installed it? Do I need to uninstall and redo it? Have the tools been removed from the menu or am I missing it ? Thanks in advance..

 

Unfortunately you currently have to do a reinstall or just wait until the guard has been updated.

The tools are currently being reworked and some new ones will replace the old tools soon.

 

Hi,

I am running the Plus version. It starts after my AV and after my Firewall. I didn't notice any probs so far except for one thing:
When I click on "Launch main program" from the systray and then after I want to close it the attached message pops up. After clicking OK it disappears, Ewido still works
I try to translate from Dutch to English:

The instruction on xxxx points to memory on yyyy. The read or write (read) from the memory failed. Click on OK to end the program.

Regards,

Gerard

 

fish, you really need a comparative review from a reputable site before people will be willing to buy ewido. I'm thinking a comparison between TDS, Boclean, PestPatrol, A2, Tauscan, Spybot, SpySweeper, AdAware (yes I know the last 3 are a little off but they do catch the occasional malware/trojan and ewido does catch adware).

You need a better description on the guard checkbox dialog as to what the guard does.

Also need to list the archive support, the way its phrased, people can't tell if support is just zip and rar or there is support for more formats.

 

Hello,

I just reinstalled Ewido plus and did not install the guard. I like that much better because I have Prevx running and use Ewido as an on demand scanner. The Ewido plus seems very effective and I will consider purchasing after the trial period.
My question;
Is this an effective use of these programs? I would value any input from you all.

Thank you.

 

Just updated ewido and also got the plus package. Has anyone noticed a slight slowdown with guard active. I had to shut it down since it caused some slowdown. I prefer to use this program as an on demand scanner.

 

Weird, I installed it, and it was running great. But when I rebooted, I kept crashing everytime I logged on to the desktop, seems the service has some sort of conflict with something else on my comp when it's at start-up... wonder what...

 

Try turning off the guard.

 

Just testing now, without the guard enabled.

Early observations;

1. Slow scanner but I presume this is because the scan engine is very thorough? Scanner could not differentiate between my partitions and scanned them ALL instead of the ones I selected!

2. GUI a little sparse, A Help-File is needed and the ability to switch on the guard from within the main program AFTER installation.

3. My Security Status is given as only 25% I presume because I did not install the running Guard as File Monitoring, Hijacker protection and AutoMatic updates are shown as n/a.

This low security bar would confuse newbies and maybe in future versions these parameters can be switched on independent of the Guard?

Overall, this is my first look at Ewido and it looks promising but as Taz pointed out it needs testing against the opposition.

I have licensed copies of 2 of the 'big' commercial AT's and Ewido would need to compete on detection, support, effect on resources/memory, speed of updating and price.

 

Yes, it's currently a bit slow but that's because it's scanning everything and the whole files and is not using some sort speed-hacks like scanning only parts of a file. It also scans everything that's in the scan list and if you don't want to scan an item you need to remove it from that list.

A help file is almost ready and is currently undergoing translation.
We are also working on the possibility to switch the guard back on (and also again off ), it should be ready soon.

You're right, we'll change that in future versions.

 

I have been haveing a few minor problems with this latest version. Details are here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10964266~mode=flat

It would be nice for someway to click on the notice and find out what is trying to shut down ewido.

 

Many thanks fish25 for your speedy response and comments.

Now this is support, someone who takes notice of users' comments.

Good luck with the product.

Now if you could think about a one-off payment with smaller annual update fees?

 

We're going to offer special license extension packages at a favourable price before the first licenses run out.
