You've pretty much said it, so I'll save myself the trouble. People who insist that omitting outbound protection means omitting protection are...
No need to insist on advertising your opinion of morality, which is completely irrelevent in a thread discussing computer security.
Actually, that's much less of a problem than unknowingly allowing malware to run because you think it's a normal program that won't run properly...
That wasn't what you originally said. You said you wanted to monitor the execution of only processes which might be used in attacks. And that's...
True. Unfortunately it's also as helpful as... as... er, something very unhelpful...
Going by your logic, Prevx and Dr Web isn't all that different if AntiBot is supposed to be "the exact same" as the Kaspersky PDM. I'm glad you...
Taking your own advice would sound rather prudent to me. I would advise that you learn the differences between the Kaspersky PDM and AntiBot...
I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Why do people always think stacking the same kind of apps together is a good idea? Just the pick one that...
"Prevx 2.0 Antimalware" - http://www.prevx.com/antimalware.asp *ahem* You were saying? Just to educate you, the PDM can be turned off...
No, I think it's unbelievably short-sighted to criticize other people for wasting money to pointlessly run two security applications when you're...
So why are you using DrWeb AND Prevx? ::)
Yes it is. Just config it to prompt on execution for processes you want, turn it off for everything else. How do you know they're useless? ::)...
Why not just specifically configure process execution control for those few programs, then? The whole point of a "dumb" HIPS is that the user...
www.threatfire.com ;D
Unfortunately, a "dumb" HIPS doesn't let you do that either - not everything. A popular myth, but an erroneous one. I'm still waiting for a HIPS...
Yep, the Novatix team itself is just another one of ThreatFire's many compelling features. Glad you got it sorted out.
It'd be far less of a stretch of logic to assume that it's just a name they use for that particular piece of malware.
Where'd you get your stats from? There are two detection routines of the PDM that're actually intelligent - the generic trojan and worm...
Not really. The Registry Guard and Application Defense are no more than dumb HIPS, and the Application Behavior Analyzer, while somewhat better,...
Not really. AntiBot > PDM.
By design, a "dumb" HIPS in the hands of an expert user is undoubtedly superior to TF in terms of protective power. But even then, it's not by...
And, after doing some googling and miscellaneous digging on Norton Fighter, I'm all set for a rather entertaining evening. "NORTON PUNCH!" ;D
Unfortunately that's asking the impossible for many people around here.
That's what I did some time back. I even went as far as taking off my firewall, so that ports 135 and 445 were wide wide open. For all their...
Yes, it does. Very well. But since you're asking this question, it means you haven't seen much malware at all. Perhaps it'd be time to rethink...
Separate names with a comma.
