Safe'N'Sec Review

The new version or Prevx will protect against adware and spyware . This version we have now does not .

 

Perhaps its a conflict with Nod or PC internet patroll ? There have only been 2 kav products that I found ran comfortably for me and that was the earlier Kav lite and the latest kav2006 beta. The last is by far lite years ahead in speed and lightness to earlier versions of Kav for me.

 

Hello, upon install and reboot - any suggestions?

First popup: (Explorer.exe VS SafeNSecure)

Second popup:

Thats odd Lynch. Are you running in total lockdown or strict mode? Wonder why the hell explorer is trying to edit SafeNSec files?!?!?

I'd send an email off to: hotline@star-force.com

Along with screenshots, and let us know what they say!

 

I installed the trial version of SNS, but I couldn't get it to run on my XP machine. Funny thing is that when I re-booted, ProcessGuard detected changes in my ZoneAlarm, OSA, and Nero exe's. I gave them permission to run, but it was surprising. Anyone run into the same situation? Any explanation? I subsequently uninstalled SNS. I would think that Safeforce needs a support forum if it is going to compete with programs such as RegDefend and PG.

Block CTFMON from network acces.
The rest is ok.
Explorer will try to modify many apps [like in Jetico you keep seeing weird popups.]
it's your "LANGUAGE BAR" from IE/Office.
I have uninstalled it
Too much of a nuisance... always starts up.

 

Hi solar,

Thanks for the reply. If I try to re-install the product in the future, I will definitely take down some of the security products but I am reluctant to do so at this time. Particularly since the first install affected ZoneAlarm (and other products) in such a way that PG thought that they were modified. I have no idea what the guys at SnS are doing, so I will patiently watch as it matures. Its something about these products from Russia (like KAV 5.0) that they end up causing more problems than they solve.

Cya,
Rich

 

This does not seem to be working. There are no popups - even when installing an app. I have it set to strict and enabled. If I set to total, then I get many pops.

**edit - I think this thing is causing problems. I have not been able to terminate anything and I cannot uninstall this app nor can I terminate under any method

so I go the the application's folder and click the uninstall.exe - nothing happens. I then try to kill that task and it can't be killed as well

I was not in total mode. I just want to get rid of it or whatever is causing the problems. I suppose i'll try safe mode.

**edit - it worked - app is gone, desktop back to normal

 

I was wrong. Many apps will not start. The exe shows in taskmanager but apps won't open - also can't terminate them as well. I've got more problems - add/remove does not respond after clicking "remove" - I suppose this is for another thread or i'll try a tech board.

 

Are you sure you are not running PG ? If not , for some reason , there is a conflict between SafenSec and something else . Wish I could help

 

When did I say I was not running PG? What do you mean by, "are you sure"? I know what PG is and it's components. Thanks for trying though -

I can't even end the add/remove screen. I click the kill button and nothing happens - it won't even minimize

 

Excuse me . I was only asking if you were using it . Did not mean to cause a problem . Oh well ....

 

Please don't take wrong way. I did not feel you were patronizing so I did not post in reaction. I was just saying....and I added smilie. BTW, I don't have Safensec installed anymore but having these problems.

 

No problem and I understand

 

Its flowing well on my system .. running with PG safensec Kav6

 

same here with NOD as opposed to KAV

 

Thanks for the help guys. I restored my system to a prior state using Image for DOS. I was sort of spooked when PG notified me that ZoneAlarm, osa.exe, and nerocheck.exe were all changed after I installed SnS and on top of that SnS wasn't working. RegDefend, by comparison, installed without a hitch. I have no idea what happened, but it is an unusal event so I just decided to play it safe. In general, I prefer installing products that have support forums here on Wilders so when funny stuff like this happens, I can get some quick feedback. I'll wait until the product matures a bit and then revisit.

Safe'n'Sec 1.1 is days away from release I hear, hopefully that will fix the problems with a few people having issues.

I'm running Safe with Dr.Web now, and it seems to exist fine together. I tried Arcavir as well, and it worked perfectly with that.

I think i'm moving to Safe'n'Sec as my secondary protection to my main antivirus, I like it being so light and easy, but retains strong protection. Their support has been great using that hotline email.

 

Just wondering - from anyone using Safe'N'Sec - is there any technical discussion of how they've implemented this product? Just wanted to get a sense of the direction it's coming from. Looks intriguing.
