Probably the best security list in the world :) - in english

Hi Ako,

Keep up the good work.

BTW, the link for Real time defender is dead.

 

Thanks for thanks!

I will remove it in the next version if no-one tells me a new download link.

 

Also check the EQSecure 3.41 download link.
Try to download the program and see what happens ?!?!

 

Has somebody line here?

I found the links!

 

I will assume that you have no Linux security experience. If you did, you would not be listing a bunch of worthless AV programs.

P.S. There is only one firewall in Linux -- it's called IPtables. The rest are merely GUI front-ends.

 

This assumption is right, I know practically nothing on Linux. This was collected by one person at virustorjunta.net. Perhaps this part should be omitted.

Thanks! (CC is threre. Crap C.)

 

Why not just update the first post?

 

It can't be done.

 

Why!?

 

I guess because Wilders policy. You can not edit your own post after few days.

 

Uhhh...

I didn't know that.

But I think that Wilders policy should have an exception for this type of topics...

 

Does "Spyware Doctor Starter Edition (Google) has real-time protection?

Thx,
Gor

 

Yes but, I have read that the starter edition definitions come from a didn't server than the paid and are slower and not as extensive. I think the real time protection in the starter is not as extensive as the paid either. This info used to be posted on Gizmo's freeware site about spyware doctor sd but I don't see it anymore.

ako, TiddlyWiki?

 

This is very good resource; I am grateful.
I think Avira has an online scan, but it is not listed?

 

Can you tell the address?

 

Perhaps some day ...

 

Can I add Key Scrambler Personal?
