UnThreat Antivirus Free Edition 2012

Use ZSoft Uninstaller, there's a portable version and it's remnant scan is quite powerful (you have to know what you are doing though)

How so?

 

Because, revo allows to delete traces without rebooting the PC after uninstallation. Now if the files/registries that gives command to delete files on reboot gets deleted by Revo, uninstallation remains incomplete.

ZSoft, has an option to monitor installation and to run post-uninstallation anytime even after reboot.

 

Info about the upcoming UnThreat version with latest Vipre engine by UnThreat staff.

"We are working on implementing the latest engine version, however, there are problems with the web filter slowing down the internet on some PCs. We are waiting for a solution from Vipre. A HIPS protection is coming with the new release along with the latest engine. The Allowed items part is being rewritten to make it easier to work with. The GUI will have an update to better understand what is UnThreat doing. Stay tuned, the new update will be out in a few weeks."

 

Thank you for the heads up.

 

I installed the free version on my WHS 2011 box, and getting utsvc.exe pretty much always using cpu, it'll drop down to 5% at the lowest. And this is on a quad core. Anyone else seen this?

 

May be some conflicts..!! I haven't seen such thing in any of my friend's PC where I have installed this AV.

 

Yep,happened to me too,about 2 months ago when i tried UT.It was on a clean CTM snapshot with Win FW only.On a dual core x32 7 Ultimate.

 

I have no idea what that service was doing, but I decided to leave it be for awhile. Finally today it has settled and is no longer using any cpu. So whatever it was doing, it took forever (22hrs).

 

Crowding it's cache?

 

For 22 hours Damn,this is scaring.. If that's true,they must do something about it.

 

Is it decent to use UnThreat Antivirus Free Edition 2012 as the primary antivirus (along with Windows 7 built-in firewall)?
Does the free version provide real-time protection?

 

Yes the free version provides realtime.

I am running it on one of win 7 64 flawlessly.

I find it good.

 

For any of you who currently have only positive results from the stability part of UT, with UnThreat how do you rank it's detections? Have you personally pitted it against malware/viruses in a controlled or uncontrolled setting with satisfactory returns? And how would you compare UnThreat to a Cloud-Based concept of protection.

Thanks and looking forward to your answers

 

It is indeed good... My personal tests gave me full satisfaction

 

Yes, same here.

HIP HIP Home Grown!!!!

 

No news? Slow development, hmmm?

 

We all gave up
The forum is quiet and the promised new version have not been shown for quite a while......

The 90 megs UnThreat Anti-Virus offline installer doesn't exists anymore all you got is a 10 megs web installer.

 

The 90 megs UnThreat Anti-Virus offline installer doesn't exists anymore all you got is a 10 megs web installer.

I dont know about everything else but

The version from Download.com/Cnet is 4.2.31.0:



The direct download link from the website point to the 4.3.33.0 version:

hxxp://download.unthreat.com/UTFree.exe

10.9 MB

I don't care about the installer from Download.com, as long as Polmont Ventures, Ltd is distributing spyware like Bandoo and are involved in file-sharing scams like Shareaza I removed UnThreat AV from all my home pc's.

 

Thank you for the new and rather scary information PaulBB
Thank fully I don't have unthreat on my pc,

So unthreat is now owned by a company involved is less than honest software
that's not good,

A lot of people will be very unhappy to know this ,
and there till be some

 

i wonder lavasoft.com

ad-aware we all may know about it i used to use it pretty old time now they use vipre antivirus too and they have free version as well what you guys think of it.

Another good antivirus bites the bullet

 

I had this on one of my machines, prior to switching it to Roboscan a couple weeks ago. I thought UnThreat had a lot of potential. It barely used any resources, and offered decent protection.

I am not familiar with this Polmont Ventures, Ltd, but anyone have any idea what they want an AV program for? Do you think they are going to try to bundle it with adware or something?
