Malware Defender

seems like MD isnt as good as it once was. so sad.

 

i told them and what they response to me was that hips dont need to be updated that much

 

Did you encounter some problem while evaluating MD

 

never was better - here. what feature are you missing?

 

any updates yet?

 

Not yet jmonge

BTW did you test MD against threats I am sure even the latest zero days ones will not be able to bypass MD

 

i am waiting for the new realease but development slowed down a bit so let's see what happen

 

if it is running stable on win7 which I believe it is, then there doesn't really need to be any updates.

 

Yep running smoothly I have installed MD many times and never encountered any problems

 

Did you find any bugs in MD till now?

 

no yet

 

Does MD have conflicts with A2?

 

maybe

In my experience, yes.

 

Wow, nice find
Seems like it's fixed with v2.7.1!
Tempted to try it again

 

where is the link for the 2.7 version download?

It is not recommended to run 2 HIPS type programs side by side. If you are using MD you don't need A2 anyway.

 

thanks triple

 

I used to run them together at times. No problem. A2 does not have a classical-HIPS module.

Since A2 includes signature-based engines (as well as its BB Mamutu), it will definitely provide added protection over & above that provided by MD. And vice versa.

 

is that 2.7 a beta version?....link says is freeware.

 

It's an official release i think, and yes it's freeware and will continue to be

 

Its not in BETA the link provided by Triple Helix is for the MD v2.7.1

 

I am thinking about installing Malware Defender for the first time tonight, is
there any advice from you guys that have been using this program for a while.
Should I leave settings on default or make some changes. What about the
learning mode setting , should I use that or not. To this point I have been
using SBIE and DefenseWall and I already uninstalled SBIE but would like to
use MD with DW, is that OK?.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

If you trust a program put MD into learning mode till you end it.
If you dont trust it put it into sandboxie with MD exclusion on the sandbox.
(recommended: no web, no rights)
