UnThreat Antivirus Free Edition 2012

I have tested Avast FileShield v/s WebShield v/s NetworkShield quite a few times.

I have found that the FileShield & WebShield has exactly the same protection i.e atleast in my test whatever FS detected was detected by WS & viceversa & whatever FS missed was missed by WS & viceversa.

NetworkShield provides different protection as it is URL based so it provides little extra protection.

I totally agree bro. They are fantastic & super fast in fixing bugs & fine tuning the product.

Recently there have been loads of new AV's emerging but mostly all have been half baked & worthless.

Among all the lots of new AV's I can say UnThreat Free is really a good one & easy at par with 3 A's, can say even better.

Thanx

Who really wants web protection could install Panda toolbar with URL filtering.

 

Is it decent to use UnThreat Antivirus Free Edition 2012 as the primary antivirus?

 

sure.....

live happy
cheers

Will unthreat participate in avc ?

 

Does Unthreat requires periodic download of full definition file like vipre?

 

I don't think the product is mature enough yet.

 

Using it for some days
it s great,superb
I m sure they will gain popularity if they carry on


just do this change:
setting...active protection....check files when they or copied or opened(on access)....check the box

 

According to UnThreat, currently on few systems this option can make slight system slowdown thats why its not currently enabled by default. But they have mentioned that it doesn't affects the security & the malware will be detected if tried to run.

So if you dont face slow down you can check the option.

Thanx

before activating this feature i unzipped files containing malwares and I saw no reaction but by opening the folder they were picked
(I was surprised becuase I didnt now this feature is OFF by default!!!!)
i saw no obvious slow downs after activating
thanks narenbisht

 

In vipre many people experienced high cpu usage with it enabled not necessarily slowdowns.

The icon is sometimes missing on my system although the program is running
(win 7 home premium)
any similar experience..?

 

not yet

 

What about the banner when it's updating,how naggy it is?Any screenshots?

 

just a quick question why does this antivirus install sunbelt firewall driver when installing just the free version & did anyone notice that ?

 

This product uses the VIPRE engine from GFI. The firewall driver, probably for protection against network attacks, is also from the same company.

 

unthreat antivirus free did not do great on a latest youtube test video I saw. MBAM and HITMAN detected many malware infection afterward. I wanted to use but decided not too after watching the video.

 

Take youtube tests like a grain of rice.

 

UnThreat Free with latest Vipre engine 5 coming soon with few changes. UnThreat staff mentioned in the forum.

 

That's very good news...
