Rising Antivirus Free Edition 2009 out Now!

funny. I used to send them samples 2 years ago and they added them.

 

Could someone be so nice as to explain to me how a very good HIPS be so bad as in this case , the chinese produce fine products mentioned in this forum & greatly sought after as in the case of EQsecure for an example.
I my self fell in love with the antivirus & the HIPS is a dream come true compaired to Comodo where you have to answer yes & no all day.

 

Does your ISP run an AV on its servers which would disinfect the files? I had this happen to me several times while trying to submit files years ago to F-Prot: all were clean by the time frisk received them.

I used this form: http://sample.rising-global.com/webmail/upload_en.htm Is it possible for ISP to clean zip file during this type of submission?

Hope I didn't sound like bashing this very good product. Rising is AV with biig potential and devs probably need some time to catch up with detections compared to other already established vendors.


Regards.

 

By no means I tool it as bashing , having played around with it I liked the program very much but I read alot of posts here and you guys are much more informed about software than I am . my question is if the antivirus is weak shouldn't the HIPS stop any kind of malware coming in ?

 

According to the opinion in the link posted above https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1397854&postcount=51 Rising is quite capable of protecting even without having signature detection. I wanted to verify this myself but when installed Rising in VirtualBox OS wouldn't boot for unknown reasons. So don't have first hand knowledge how it really performs.

 

Hello again everyone.

I did some testing again. I did the same tests I threw to Rising 2008 and I find 2009 weaker in some situations. Because there were attacks that 2008 can stop that 2009 can't .

For example
http://www.gentlesecurity.com/files/gswdemo.vbs

That was stopped in Rising 2008 and I get this alert. But in 2009 the script does everything.

 

I would love to keep this antivirus on my system but reading how it did on the virus tests I was very disappointed with the results,to me that is a nice interface & alot of settings compaired to the traditional ones I have been using .

 

Configuration?

My test and "Web Trojan Defense" settings:

 

I just tried it and one of my must have is have the ability to right click on any folder or object and have in the drop down menu the option to scan. I saw that Rising ..I mean the anti virus.. does not have this....Back to Antivir

 

Sorry, what are you speaking about?.... RISING AV has it, FW not, of course. Scanning a file/folder for antimalware porpouses with a firewall is something too "new" for me!

 

Here the script runs anyway. I tried repairing but still no luck. Maybe I'll need to reinstall then.

 

went back to Rising & ran that test it stopped it cold

 

Yes, quite sadly, it is possible unto our frustration in trying to submit a sample. I wish that such ISPs would allow for an upload link to the AV labs.

LOL..you know what I meant. Anyway I edited it. The av has it? I did not have it in my drop down menu was having to manually open up the av and select the file.

 

Hi,
The pre release version of Rising AV 2009 has now been fully released as today my Rising free AV 2008 updated to the 2009 version which looks very professional. However, I have now exactly the same problem as I had initially with 2008 free, that is the software tells me my license will expire in 34 days when it is suppose to be free. They sorted it last time, so I have written to them again, as they promised Rising 2009 AV would still be free.

Ah I have just been to their website..............

What a performance.
Ah well what do we expect for nothing.

Audit reports Auto-Protect is disabled, however in the settings it's enabled. However I can run eicar.com without getting intercepted (manual scan catches it)? Anyone can report this to Rising?

 

Yes, the AV has it, sure! Right click over file or folder and RISING appears for an on-demand scan

 

Strange, when I was trying it out it was not there....unless I was too drunk again!

 

lol~~`rising antivirus is developed by china~~i am a chinese ~~but i am not a user of rising~~rising antivirus give a high level by foreigner user,but in chinese view this antivirus make everyone a poor impresssion before the reason that is the absymal quality~~the attractive advertisement not equivalent to the ability of detection ~~~but now the 2009 version make great progess~~everyone changed the thinking~~lol

 

Or used file manager for explorer replacement. I didn't have Rising in context menu of Directory Opus. Read about similar problems with other file managers.

It's strange you say this. We are led to believe that Rising is some kind of super winner at chinese market with enormous userbase. And this is used to promote it as quality product to western users. Many of us tried it just for the supposed dominance over chinese market.

 

According to their website there are 80 million users.

@ zen_usuario and 2good

Were you using free edition ?? Cause here I've tried it on 3 computers and still it doesn't stop the test. Maybe there are some differences in detection between paid and free versions ??

 

Supposedly not according to them, the only difference is in the support.
