@jmonge

Just wondered why you want to try SSM as it's no longer supported ?

http://syssafety.com is for sale

Development status Abandonware http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Safety_Monitor

 

i have some free time is not going to be permanet as defensewall is it is only for testing purposes

 

@jmonge

Yeah you must have

It'll be interesting to hear what you discover, especially with some real nasties, like TDSS etc

 

yeap

 

i feel the registry protection is limited

 

Well you'll soon know

 

i think MD is more complete hips

 

You can't beat a nice set of Hips

On topic, i ran SSM for a while a few years ago, but found it overly complicated to set up properly. Great if you like that kind of thing though

 

love hips did you ever tried RTD Smart?

 

No, but i just had a look here https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=256660

http://www.rtdefender.com Website is under construction... but the DL link still works ?

 

I made certain that my install of the (XP Pro SP2 ) OS on my new custom build was absolutely clean... then I let her rip!, i.e learning mode.

Now, SSM is barely noticeable!...besides I don't mind a few popups...from them I have learned a lot.

 

@Tarnak

Gotcha

Yeah learnings good, most of the time

So your still using SSM, obviously with no issues by the sound of it Which version ?

Has anything ever sneaked by etc ?

 

2.4.0.621

If it has...it must be cloak-and-dagger!

 

Yeah a friend of mine once got infected with that very nasty motherboard rootkit He had to replace everything



Totally safe now

 

Which would that be, because I have never heard of it.

Hopefully, when I get my next custom build it, I will setup it with the works...at least 3 hard drives, dual boot, virtualization and cloning etc.

In hindsight I would have setup my present system differently... but since I have never had to reformat intentionally, I'll leave be.
