The new version of the best AV in 2010 dynamic tests by AV Comparatives, interesting

 

This beta is available for VERY long time (right now is 36 Technical Preview)..
It's one of the longest beta program that I participate, but this is going to be very good product (only slight modified from previous version)
Developers are very conservative so far.
Only one big change is new version of deepguard..

 

is this thing resource friendly?

 

Check the avc performance tests, is in the top5 if I remember well

 

with advanced process monitoring i dont think so

 

its not that bad, ive been using it for a while now with that enabled and its a bit heavier than avast but not by much, boot times arent too different either.

 

I signed up for the beta evaluation, but it wasn't like other programs where you give them your email and it's done. I filled out a ton of forms on a real application. I did less paperwork to get into college, lol. I hope I'm picked!

 

It's resource friendly. Indeed after first full scan it's very quiet (cpu usage about 0+/- 2 % on my athlon 64 3800).
Advanced process monitoring works very good for me.
And I agree that beta program is not very instinctive.
GUI is almost the same at it was in previous year.

 

For what is the application control if the rules are like a firewall?
It's the app control like an HIPS?

 

They don't call it this way, BUT in the F-Secure's installation folder there is a subfolder named "HIPS".

 

I agree and I was quite surprised at the length of the application.

Thanks.

 

That was some detail application...lol
Cheers

 

Fortunately my application was just approved. .

Thanks.

 

Good.
Now you can tell us all the details about the new version.

Unless they make you sign a NONdisclosure agreement ... lol
Cheers

 

Not a chance . Sure I'll keep you guys posted and I may try it tonight. I'm mostly interested to hear some good news about "deepguard", to me it is the crown jewel of F-Secure Internet Security. .

Thanks.

 

lol that's some application.. I dont think they are familiar with KISS (keep it simple stupid)

 

I clicked away the signup process halfway, it is pathetic. So I guess I am 'signed up' but I won't be approved since I didn't fill in some questions. Registering a baby takes less effort.

 

The application did have a lot of things in it but none of them required mandatory long responses. It is up to the individual how long they make their responses. I wrote 1 line answers to their questions and have already been picked to help test the beta.

 

Well,I sure do hope they worked more on this black hole of IS-world (F-Secure IS 2011) :

...and that´s after only 2 months of using it !

 

Its at 413MB at the moment here.

 

pretty sure we have Bitdefender to blame for that.

 

ok ive done some research of f-secure folder sizes.

the f-secure program files folder is 415mb
the aquarius (bitdefender folder) is 313mb

the f-secure folder under program data is 259mb
the aquawin32 folder is 214mb

total install size =674mb
bitdefender total size =527mb

size without bitdefender would be: 147mb

 

I've stopped beta testing F-Secure until they put in the Firefox 5 compatibility.

 

Just use "add-on Compatibility Reporter"
