Hi Andra, I may go that way, thanks. In the meantime, I have added CSIS Heimdal to the exceptions from the list of software to be automatically updated.
Recently checking my Heimdal Pro (v 1) with sites from the Malware Domain List and I find Heimdal not alerting to any websites? In the past I recall it alerting to virtually all of them. Can anybody confirm?
Tried the new version. There's significant slowdown, especially while browsing. Uninstalled because of that. Perhaps some conflict with Emsisoft Internet Security or Adguard for Windows was causing.
I'm running it here with Adguard 6.0.146.791 (not using the WFP driver though) and Norton Security and there appears to be no slowdown.
I am pleased with it. With v2 I have had 24 blocks of websites that I never tried to visit. No doubt buried somewhere in pages
I just installed the pro version that I listed as 100% off and so far have not had a peep about any web sites. That could be because malwarbytes stops them first? I always get pop ups from malwarbytes on blocked web sites. some are even outgoing. I suppose I could disable malwarbytes and see if Heimdal makes any peeps.
Heimdal website blocking does not make any popups like malwarebytes, atleast in my PC but the log already shows it blocked 20 sites. I'm very satisfied with the product. Is it safe to enable software patching component now ? I saw many posts earlier regarding downgrades and installing 32bit versions instead of 64bit.
For those of you using Heimdal Pro, can you please list why? Are you using it for automatic updates of programs, or blocking websites, or malware protection, or some other reason? For those of you using Sandboxie and Heimdal Pro, what do you think it offers that Sandboxie doesn't (besides updating of programs)? Thanks.
Please add an option to exclude folders from the patching system, I have a lot of portable apps and I don't want them to be detected by heimdal among other things because it won't update portable apps correctly.
https://heimdalsecurity.com/en/whyheimdal That just means to me at least 40% of malicious internet traffic goes unblocked! So what?!
KaptainBug You are correct, Heidmal does show a pop up just a log. But I have noticed with Malwarebytes enabled, Heidmal does not log any blocked traffic.
I have A question. The web site blocker log on my machine does not count right. I show one block from last night and none for today even though it is blocking pages. Even if you go to the same site over and over and it blocks the site each time, shouldn't the counter go up? I get the regular bad site message on the page I am trying to access but does not show in log.
I suspect that the 60% refers to malicious internet traffic as a cause of infection. The other 40% are the other attack vectors which cause infections: infected emails, USB drives, etc.
Thanks for the feedback! I've sent my colleagues your recommendation, but I couldn't fully state if this will happen or not, for the moment.
