New In Threatfire V4.1

It may be process lasso or clever cache.

BTW are not these two software supposed to do similar job?

 

Very many thanks to Kees for pressing ahead in their forums and offering a very efficient ruleset much in the same way Alcyon is done for EQS, but the delay in implimenting it then eventually we hope rolling it out remians in serious doubt. And i hope thats all it is, just a doubt, because he gave them (like Alcyon) an excellent move ahead in it's capabilities IF THEY WILL JUST GET WITH IT!

Nothing against Mamutu which IMO is the ONLY real Behavioral Blocker that does whats expected from it more often then not, but TF stands to even equal or surpass Mamutu if they eventually finish that programming puzzle of a very unique and IMO badly needed compliment to any security set up as a reliable buffer!

ThreatFire 4.5 - Full Review

 

Where can i d/l v4.5?

 

Not officially released yet. PCMag received a sneak copy from PCTools.

According to their forum it may be out next week.

 

Nice feature

 

Interesting "team" concept mentioned by Neil Rubenking in his review...

Anyone here running these two side-by-side?

 

I've run those before before I decided Prevx is simply not for me. Didn't have any conflicts if that's your concern.

 

I'm running ThreatFire 4.1 alongside Prevx 3.0 (paid), AntiVir Personal 9, PC Tools Firewall Plus 5, AVG LinkScanner, and Returnil Premium. The entire combination runs nice and light on my XP Pro system with no conflicts or performance issues.

 

That looks like one heck of a strong line-up, pegr. TF just didn't do right on my machines... I think it was conflicts with ZAP's OSFirewall. I always did like it, and wished it would run better, but some things just aren't meant to be, I guess. Good luck with what you've got.

 

Thanks Page42. Best wishes to you too.

 

Ok, here is v4.5:

Changelog available?

 

Not yet, last time I checked, which definitely wasn't long ago (some min. to be frankly ) - we'll just have to wait patiently, and I don't think it'll be long.

 

Threatfire 4.5 changes.

 

Thanks - I expected the changes to show up at the forums first.

 

This new version does seem to be a beta of some sort. Just look at the following prompt and make your opinion.

It'll prompt on a small, free game. There's no removable drive even inserted, it reports a BUNCH of registry keys and values, and that it accessed programs like Opera and MSPaint.

 

.
Unfortunately, I don't see anything about a "deny" option or anything that suggests they have addressed the problem of quarantining critical system files. I would like to know how TF 4.5 handles that scenario before I use it again since I got bitten a couple of times by previous 4.X versions.

 

guh, threatfire for 64bit is still in beta 4.1

 

Where is the deny option?

 

Im guessing it wont be added till the August/September release.

 

Correct, it'll be in the release after this one.

 

Lol, it looks just a little bit overkill to me.

 

In this forum, a little overkill isn't much! Tell me which part of pegr's set up you think is overkill?

I know nothing about AVG LinkScanner, but it all looks balanced and strong to me.

 

Thanks. I will wait for that version to try.
