Hello, Has anyone used this product? It's now available in English - one needs to install the Polish version and change the language from the interface.
Only $26.00 for one PC 1 Year....Reviews and videos that I could find seem to indicate it is very good.
I last tried it at the start of last year and it uses Bitdefender signatures. I can't say anymore than that about it, as I try so many antiviruses, I can't remember specific details unless I make notes.
I just installed it, running very fast on my PC, apps and web surfing both very responsive... Plus the Arcabit IS suite contains its own firewall, not just an add-on to assist the Windows firewall !!! NOT BAD at all for $26.00
My interest was picqued by its good performance in AVLab's tests. Would love it if someone could do a detailed review. It was a good product many years ago when it had it's own engine.
Wrote them last night, late.... They wrote back, quick response time. They are trying to re-enter the market, and with support from customers, expand on their product. They are very friendly, seem to be fans of the USA. I like that.. Plus the price is great for a suite, which even has a firewall that you can change settings in, not just an add-on to the Windows firewall.
Arcabit Internet Security Changes 1. A completely new graphical interface. 2. Added antivirus engine Bitdefender - is certainly a positive impact on the level of threat detection. 3. Improved own antivirus engine - version 2014 use its own engine technology-based "protection in the cloud." 4. Independent firewall. 5. Added parental control (Access Control). An audit also includes HTTPS. 6. Added a completely new mechanisms to protect the web browser. 7. Private cloud security - "Cloud Molecule» in favor of "defense in the cloud." Protection to the cloud is tasked to identify suspicious behavior of programs. In the event of a potential threat to the program file it will be sent to the cloud for further analysis. Then the malicious signature appears in the anti-virus database. 8. Check for updates to the operating system - the module will take care of the latest updates of the operating system Windows. 9. Updated mail scanner.
Now this is interesting, look at the features. https://mks-vir.pl/program/ Apparently this was the founding company for Arcabit. But it looks like they have revamped the whole product line for 2018.
One comment from the feature page, near the bottom... "When creating a new version of the program, we had in mind that not every computer works on the basis of four XEON processors and 64GB of RAM. The new mks_vir also perfectly protects the weaker computers with Windows XP on board without disturbing everyday work. Optimization mechanisms are able to adapt the program to the capabilities of any system, starting from Windows XP and ending with Windows Server 2016."

I want to download/try/buy Arcabit but every link I can find is in Polish. Is there a link to an English-language version, please?
Yes when you start to install Arcabit it gives the option for English, then in the software after the install go to options (looks like a gear) and the last one on left side, choose English and then press the save button on top right.
I would think if you live right across the street from Russia, like Poland, you would have to have a tough antivirus. Thus I am giving them a try, and think I'll buy it since its only $26.00 and you get a full firewall and Antivirus, plus web protection.
I wrote them earlier, asking for a USA website to purchase from... Being they are in a different time zone I should hear from them this evening or in the AM... I will give link here when I get it.
As of right now, it appears to only be in Polish, as when you launch its installer, there is no option to change the language to English, like there is with Arabit.
Thanks for that confirmation....Arcabit it is then... I will post link when I hear back from them about a English (US) website for purchases.
If I remember correctly, MKS Vir sold itself to ArcaBit and ArcaBit relaunched the product in 2018.....I could be wrong though. I do believe the feature set of MKS appears to match ArcaBit.
Yes they match...The product to pursue right now is Arcabit, not Mks, as it is Polish Only. I installed both,features and responsiveness seem to be identical.
Got it... thanks a heap! Umm... does anyone know whether there is a Behavior Blocker or HIPS in ArcaBit's arsenal? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Definition of arca [ Latin ] : a chest or strong box used in ancient times as a receptacle for money or valuables and also by early Christians for reserving the consecrated bread of the Eucharist
I read both sites via chrome translate I think I read it was a BB, but it may have been hips. I have to re check, either way it was one of the other. But I think it was BB.
