New Antiexecutable: NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro

I also like this app very much, please release a new version!

 

ERP still features on NVT home page: http://www.novirusthanks.org/

 

If not, then why he after watching all these posts of us, doesn't bother to explain anything and tell everything just fine... and prove it by finishing ERP as a final stable release.

 

This discussion reminds me of "Secure Folders" - yet another useful app that has been abandoned by its developer.

 

Yes, there is a slight difference. OK, let me put it this way. NVT is temporarily/currently abandoned. Let's hope things will soon be back to normal.

 

"Normal" refers to his support here at Wilders. The developer used to be pretty active here on a regular basis, but he hasn't been seen here for quite some time.

 

I see nothing to worry about either, because I don't use NVT. It was just meant to be an "observation", that's all. Sorry for the confusion.

 

I just tried out EXE Radar for the first time since version 1. Very impressed with it. I gave it a trial run a few years back. I liked what what I saw, but elected to go in a different direction. I think that was a mistake. It has matured into an outstanding program .

 

I didn't even know about some of the tools. Did you guys check out Hidden Process Finder, and did it find anything on your systems?

Andreas really should make them all portable; they are very useful , but not designed for daily uses, so i wont install them to bloat my system ^^

Curious, I imagine you as a fan and user of Faronics Anti-Executable.

 

Coming from you Pete that's quite the endorsement.

Never quite looked at it from such a product comparison standpoint since it's now been since XP that I even used Faronics AE but now that you mention it ERP "IS" all of that and much more. What else should anyone expect out of a pretty solid freeware security app "as-is" right? Anything extra added to it again (if ever) would only be more of a bonus. As far as bugs that some discover I can understand their concerns but if something isn't compatible there ARE other alternatives.

 

@Peter2150

The problem with Faronic is that it lacks:

• Ability to white-list command lines
• Ability to block .vbs, .js and other script files (only .bat can be managed)
• No Alert Mode (needed for legitimate use of vulnerable processes)
• Windows and safe soft updates (updates must be performed manually after disabling protection)

It does have one neat feature:

1. Clean install OS
2. Install desired softs
3. Run white-listing scan
4. Entire system is white-listed (.exe, .dll, .com, .bat, .scr - as you can see, really limited in this regard)

Also, after updates and protection is re-enabled, all files are white-listed.

NVT ERP remains the King of anti-executables...

 

i think Andreas is way too busy in the effort to consolidate SOB ^^

 

@Peter2150

I concur about .dll monitoring.

User has to:

• Know what to white-list\black-list
• Know which application controls to use so as not to create conflicts
  
• Commit a quite large amount of time and effort at configuring
• Be willing to accept a degradation in performance - if it happens

The time and effort is the worst - it's huge.

 

... and some other stuff if you look at the changelogs of their recently updated software (13th/14th Jan) on their website.

 

Hope you to release a new version with Windows 10 supported.

 

same here too, run smoothly on Win10.

 

Yes I agree, whitelisting of DLL files goes too far. I remember when HIPS like EQSecure and Pro Security added this option, it was ridiculous. And besides, not even a Windows expert would know if DLL files are malicious or not, so it hardly makes any sense.
