New PC Doctor - KINGSOFT Security Releases Kingsoft PC Doctor 2.7

The download protection marked them as safe?
They have digital signatures from wellknown companies? (fake digital signatures)
Proceed to execution them can it detect them?

 

Sorry I didn't tried the execution coz I had downloaded & saved on the real system.

But the files were not digitally signed as you mentioned, so may be a bug or what I dont know. I dont have those files as I had deleted them. But I will again test Kingsoft & post here if it rated the malware file as safe which I am sure it will do.

Thanxx

Bro, I faced same problems.

 

narenbisht i open a thread in kingsoft pc doctor forum with ur thoughts.
-http://www.kingsoftsecurity.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=316

 

I again tested it with malware from MDL. And the download protection rated 2 malware as safe. Cross checked with VT with high detection. The malware were not digitally signed. So something wrong with the rating I guess.

I will have a look in Kingsoft forum link you have posted.

Thanxx

Edit - Posted a reply in the Kingsoft forum in the above mentioned link too.

 

Thanks so much for pointing out our problem, and sorry for reporting that malware as safe.

The problem of malware reported as safe, related to several reasons.
1. We're the newer on English security market and need time to improve our cloud database.
2. Our strategy is not strict enough, as our global moderator - Sophie, figured out before.

For #1, we're planning to join VT to improve our cloud database. (In progresss)
#2, this is because Chinese users' requirements are different with English users' requirements in some fields. We've noticed this problem and doing our best to improve our detection rate, and also avoid false positives, especially malware reported as safe.

BTW, the download link for the tested samples which placed on our forum is not working, could you please place a new one for us, narenbisht? Thx.

 

Download link posted in Kingsoft forum.

Previously I pasted the wrong link, sorry.

You can just go to any malware site & try to download & save 15-20 malware, I am sure you will come accross 2-5 malware marked as safe. I find the safe rating frequency high considering its an antimalware security product.

Thanks, we'll come accross what missed on our side, improve the detection and avoid reporting malware as safe. This may not be done in a short time, but surely we'll improve this point asap.

 

Thanks for the product, thanks for the effort to make it even better, and thanks for the positive and friendly attitude.

 

I refer to this suggestion "Now in trust list we can add only files will be better if we can add also folders in it" > Suggestion - Trust List / Exclusions > http://www.kingsoftsecurity.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=298

During the install of this program the other day I initially got a popup for which I answered with 'Remove Later'.



Later on during the initial scanning I got a slew of detections for the contents of that folder. Some of the detections, for example.



Surely, it would have been more useful to have the ability to exclude the entire folder, in this particular case, for example.

BTW, these files are from a legacyware program which I still use, and therefore rarely seen in the wild, anymore. So, I can understand why Kingsoft may consider these files to be unsafe.

 

Hmm, that's right. We'll start assessing the group exclusion. Thanks for your suggestions and screenshots.

 

new version 3.0.1.117
http://www.kingsoftsecurity.com/

 

This is just a minor update, not that necessary to update it.

 

I couldn't even if I wanted to, since I couldn't find a 'Check for updates' in the product GUI, or in the tray icon.

 

is this worth using? just curious how many wilders members are using it

 

Here next to minimize batton is the update.

 

@ boombastik

LOL ...Thanks, just goes to show how one can miss seeing something, that is reasonably obvious.

Does it update over the top, or will I need to do a fresh install?

 

Over the top i have test it. It will terminate the services and it will install the new one, with your settings from the previous version.

 

Yes, I noticed...just finished upgrade, which I monitored...

 

I would like to try this program but dr.web detects it as trojan. I wonder how could i get it to work.

 

Add it to the exclusions list and report it as a false positive.

 

Thanks for the reply. I will do that.

 

Hello guys, Kingsoft PC Doctor updated to 3.1.1, an interesting feature - My Startup, is added. When someone feels KPD slows down their startup, then it can definitely supports them. If you feels something need to be improved, please feel free to tell us. Also we're welcome you to report the startup items you think they are too slow, and we may help you optimizing them.

Here is the changelog:

For some reason Windows7 virtualises PC Doctor, so it won't autostart (is the executable unsigned)?

 

Despite the recommendation to fresh install...I chose over the top.

Seems to be running OK.
