    @trott3r -- You can get KVRT by copy/paste of URL below. That URL initiates an immediate download -- that's why I coded it. It's a single exe file -- no other files are needed.
    Code:
    http://www.kaspersky-help.com/?hl=en&version=15.0.24.0&pid=kvrt&link=kvrtexe
    @WiseVector -- what is the latest news on issuance of a NON-free WiseVector version?

    ... Except I read today it leaves a file for troubleshooting on C:\. Easily removed if wanted.

    It is, but it shouldn't be. HMP for years has been oblivious to certain forms of malware (like worms) allowing both the infection itself as well as the persistence mechanism. Personally I don't see the point in relying on a secondary scanner that only kinda-sorta works.

    Cheers in return. Do what you can on your current PC defense posture but this addition is a useful compliment along most any defense.

    Thanks there. Incidentally I will install alongside AvastFree (or KSC Free), CIS (firewall only, AV-HIPS disabled), OSArmor Free 1.43. WiseVector StopX V3.03 has the firewall and HIPS, yes? Possible conflict with CIS firewall?

    @WiseVector
    WiseVector StopX V3.03 is final, yes? (as seen in WiseVector sig), will this remain as free-to-download or a later new free-version will surface?

    Any previews on the paid version interface?

    Danka!

    Clean install of v3.05. Install was quick.
    Noticed it still installs to Program Files(x86)
    Still looking around.

    Is it possible that WVSX could be messing with my network adapters on both machines?

    Before WVSX:

    Network Adapter - WV.PNG

    After WVSX:

    Network Adapter + WV.PNG

    Thanks for your feedback.
    When uninstalling WVSX, what's the result?
