    I disagree. This version is pretty awesome. Blue Point stops and delete zero day threats. No more "allow-deny" like in a late versions. Try it and you'll see.

    :thumb: I have to agree. I just started using it, and I am totally impressed with its ability. This is one product to keep a close eye on.

    I believe what the Global Moderator is trying to say is these issues should be posted on their forum as well. I agree with the Global Moderator in the fact that you will be helping them to improve their product by making them aware of their product's weaknesses. I've read many of your post on this forum, and i'm sure you would agree on that.

    Vista VM.

    Found two false positives used by Buster Sandox Analzer.

    Below fake alert and it's rogue installed without a peep and no detections after a complete scan.

    Really? If it knew them, it should block them. If it didn't, and you set it to not prompt on unknowns - it should just block it too.

    was not over impressed, waited 3 days for link to come to my email inbox, nothing came. So i installed it anyway. modded nvidia driver false positive. everest disc bench false positive.
    pop up from win 7 security center stating anti virus is reporting status in a way no longer supported try updating, tried to update and got a barrage of you need a license pop ups.
    removed quite quickly.

    I don't understand the problems described above. Try yourself, and decide.

    Oh man... I seriously do not like those sorts of "trials", it's not even a trial, it's more like a rogue-tactic. Hitman Pro has the right approach, say what it detected and give you a choice to trial for 30 days its full potential. Should be the same thing here; when BPS detects a threat, it suspends everything else and asks you if you wanna start a trial - simple.

    "it used to be good forget it now to remove virus you need to buy it."
    If you have already a virus in your comp' before installing BPS (I think Prevx do the same thing). When BPS is install every threat is deleted during the trial period no question ask...

    A word of caution: CTM is not bullet proof and it still has a lot of bugs. I would not advise anyone to test live malware on their real machine; unless you use that computer only for that purpose. I would greatly beseech you for your own safety to still use your VM.

    Thanks.

    Wow I'm pretty sure you have a technical crystal ball for your prediction and if it comes true you could be called Wilders Security prophet :D.

    Thanks.

    Not only that, but when I tested it some well-known program files were marked as unknown and I had to click allow to run them. (Example: MS Works wordprocessor)

    I tried to test it...One page said 30 day trial then when I downloaded it it said 14 day trial...then after install it detected a legitimate mrt.exe file as a sever infection but couldn't remove unless I paid them. I think for now I'll just stick with Internet Security 2010 :D...or maybe I'll just post in their forum and see what they say.

    and the unsubscribe from their spam just came back as undeliverable.. 14 day 30 day trial no download link sent.
    i think this needs a little work before they give software away yet alone try and sell it :gack:

    BPS failed big time for me. I tested this product with 15 newer malware links. There wasn't a peep out of it for all 15 links that were stopped by many others. BPS was installed and updated and left to default settings upon installation:

    Here is the Malwarebytes Quick Scan report after testing those links:
