Threatfire can i load it manually

Hi
i have installed threatfire
and it's very cool
but i have a question
it loads a service and the system tray control

i tried to make the service manual and not auto
but i can't change the threat service load mode

can i run threatfire only on demand?
thanks

 

I do not think that is possible. It would also defeat the purpose of TF IMO. Have it installed on the wifes PC which she is using right now so I can`t check. However I believe only the paid version has an on demand scanner. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

 

I think ThreatFire has to be allowed to start auto,
and far as scanning that option is available in the
free version, but it does say on demand scan for
known threats is available only in the Pro version.

Wake

 

I agree with ThunderZ, running ThreatFire just "ondemand" wouldnt do much good.

 

I think not. Also it,s not a software to be run on demand. Why would u like to do that?

 

i would like to turn on when i want
or load in memory when i whant that's all

threatfire seems a great software , i don't know others alternative

but often drivers , service could give issue
so it could be great the ability to be able to seup load when system starts
load manually

 

TF is not really intended to be used in this fashion. It is meant to prevent infection with real time protection more then detect it after you are already infected. You are defeating the real purpose of it using it how you describe. But do as you will with your PC.


Other alternatives, scan on demand, are offered by AVG, A-Squared and Super Anti-spyware among others.

 

for example System Safety Monitor is a great program , and start when you want with system boot or on demand

 

Again. Really defeating the purpose of SSM.

 

sorry i did not understand the meaning

 

HIPS programs are meant to protect "in real time" = as you are doing things on your PC. Examples; surfing the net, installing new programs. Turning off these types of programs stops them from watching for and protecting your system from potentially harmful changes. Once you turn them back on I do not believe they are able to detect the changes that accured while they were off. It just is not how they are intended to work. An on demand scan may detect them however correcting\removing them may not always be a simple task. I believe most users of this Forum, myself included, believe in prevention as opposed to curing.

 

In that case, don,t bother to use it.

 

In this case also, its driver will load, watever u do.

 

Absolutely.
Prevention is always better then cure.

 

i agree
the point is only about the not possibility to setup manually

antivirs + firewall+ anti malware + privacy software + programs in backround + threatfire + various divers could give many many isses

and have a controll about enable or disable a service is a good deal,that's all

 

I understand your point.
But Threatfire is a behavior blocker that needs to on all the time to be effective.
Otherwise it really would be no benifit to have.
About having issues with many programs installed, it's trial and error.
One must find that balance of security and userabilty.

 

you know what i 'm thinking
we can open a topic with some good balance of security software
at last the worse experiece of many software installed

so we can stay away by such combinations

 

Actually there is an interesting use for a HIPS started on demand. You can use it as a "sandbox". Of course, it would be easier to install a real sandbox, but it is a possibility.

 

A possibility. But still not it`s intended use so perhaps not quit up to the task.
