    Good Evening! Tried it. Verdict...Slow install...Slow Surfing...Slow scanning in Full scan mode. Now in all Fairness to SecuraLive...The Gui was easy to navigate and tweek the settings. Seems to use Windows Firewall...is the Anti Virus engine Ikarus or a In-House design? My summation is it's still a Product whose development is in progress. But many thanks too SecuraLive for their Generosity. Sincerely...Securon

    We do not encourage that as the automatic protection functions of various security solutions may interfere with each other.

    I am giving the Secueralive Internet Security a run. So far I like it pretty much. But time will tell.

    This question was not answered by the developer.
    Please?

    Thanks in advance,

    what I found in my searching is that it does use the Ikarus engine.

    Please note that Ikarus is not an engine but a Database. We are using our own engine and use a combination of Ikarus and our own database as Ikarus has a lot of false positives.

    Thanks.
    I had indeed noticed there was no FP with your product in the scans I did, but with Ikarus, when Emsisoft was using their engine or database, was quite problematic with lots of FPs.

    Hi all

    I have a answer from SecuraLive from today and here is that answer

    Hi There,
    The forum should be ready in a week or two. As for other languages, we are working on it and it might take some time. I will keep you posted on the outcome.

    With best Regards
    Mops21

    Have you ever tested the real time protection of Securalive?

    Actually, it is an engine, t3.dll, the T3 Extended Virus Engine (EVE). The database is t3sigs.vdb.

    I have been running this security program for a while now and it seems to be doing a great job. No problems to post except the add blocker is a bit aggressive.

    I never run any AV in real-time. Can Securealive easily be configured for use On-demand only?

    I've been playing with a trial Internet Security on my Windows 10 test system.

    The Ikarus engine and database can be verified:

    T3&slEngine.jpg

    That is the current Ikarus version.

    T3&slVDB.jpg

    Everything else seems to be rolled by SecuraLive as evidenced by parent company PC Range Pty Ltd signatures in various dlls.

    Several libraries signed by Netscape and Mozilla are present, one of which (nss3.dll) was injected into Firefox.

    The firewall is an enigma (pun intended). The installer does not turn off WFW and a block rule doesn't care if the latter on or off.

    There is no alert on 1st or new outbounds. Rules are created manually one app at a time. I made an outbound custom allow rule for Firefox, ports 80 & 443 (delimiter is a semicolon) but was still able to connect to a site on 8080. Here's the rule builder:

    SaLISrule.jpg

    Note Allow All Traffic (default) has a green button while all others are black. Clicking on a black changes it to green.

    While one might be able to craft a useful rule or two, like blocking inbounds from the Blu-ray player or a guest IP on your LAN, I don't care too much for this firewall. Tho fully blocking an app with a few mouse clicks is handy.

    One can only educated-guess what exactly "HTTPS/SSL filtering" does. Entering "firewall" into SecuraLive's FAQ search returns "The search did not match any FAQs."

    A free version of the Ikarus engine is quite engaging as well as a bunch of desirable stuff...
    http://www.securalive.com/windows-software-comparison
    ...but if I were to part with cash, it would be for Antivirus Pro and not Internet Security. Unless they do something about that "firewall."

    It is otherwise smooth-running and stable.

    As this is #74, all this will soon be "lost" once #76 is posted up. :rolleyes:
