CHX-I is known to be pretty solid on the inbound side, but is not application aware.
On my machine Avast does not appear to have a proxy set up to scan http & its about as light as you can get.
Your school or employer, who I assume is supplying the software, should be able to supply all the help you need. Check the default settings...
Stem, I was afraid that would be the answer. Fortunately, the need to run IPV6 is probably a year or 2 in the future & by that time this...
Around this forum it has been mentioned that CHX-I does not work with IPV6. What would happen if a rule was made allowing incoming Ethernet...
Re: why doens't avast use advanced heuristic detection engine yet? All I know is that Avast does very well at Shadowserver.Org on detecting zero...
Re: why doens't avast use advanced heuristic detection engine yet? That is what they say. I kind of doubt it, except for those AV's that...
Run the Vista build in firewall in the default mode, and make sure your friend/client has a router. Do not turn off UAC. IMO, Avira free works...
Re: why doens't avast use advanced heuristic detection engine yet? Anyone around here actually know what heuristics do? I think not, or else...
If you want to spend a lot of time and effort on your firewall, this is the one for you. Ordinary people need not apply.
Ran both Avira and Avast on my system and Avast produced a lower Commit Charge or lower memory usage. That said both are pretty light and you...
It went to 1229 today. I had a few stability issues after 1227, but I don't know if it was related to Avast, or if the new build will fix anything.
Make sure you have a complete removal of the old firewalls. Sometimes LnS leaves behind a driver that will show up on the properties sheet for...
They use the one that is built into windows.
After cleaning a machine I usually install AVG free. I use it because it is very easy to install and configure, and it runs well on old hardware....
K- That's a good point. Honestly, I don't know. There is a lot of black art in security. Anyone really know how AV "heuristics" work, beyond...
Live & learn.
Avira is not the only AV that tends to detect most packed files as positive. I have seen this behavior with Bitdefender free and Symantec...
If you are using Vista the lack of Spyware definitions in Avira free should not be much of an issue as Vista has Windows Defender turned on by...
Well, I thought I put it in the Firewall forum, my mistake. I suppose the best place for it would be the firewall forum, although so far not that...
I am using Avast ATM. I had hoped to see some discussion of blacklist vs white list, but there are no takers. I believe this was originally...
If one were to compare an IDS with a "leak proof" software firewall, on its simplest level the IDS is a blacklist while the leak proof firewall is...
Symantec AV for enterprises version 10.2 has a separate Vista installer. It probably does not make much difference as if different drivers or...
You probably will not see any security software that does not run on XP for at least another 2 or 3 years, given that XP's market share is about 7...
Some of you may not agree with my logic, but Microsoft recommends computer security be maintained by having inbound firewall protection, keeping...
Separate names with a comma.
