Abandoned security programs

How many security programs you bought or used are not in active developement anymore?
I payed at least for 3:
ProcessGuard
System Safety Monitor
Shadow Defender (suspicious rebirth)

 

Shadow Defender.

 

Where's 0? I don't use such things with the current advancements of malware.

 

Yeah, you forgot to put an option for 0 lol I use Shadow Defender, but it works perfect for me the way it is.

 

none. all i used are in development

 

none, all the security apps I use still have very active development

 

System Safety Monitor

 

Shadow Defender 3.25, but it works pretty well.

 

0 was left out on purpose.... ...I'm only curious about how many folks forked out some money for a security program to find out later that developement stopped......

 

Shadow Defender. Where is Tony.

 

Shadow Defender...it's installed, but in my "archives" I have some setup files such orphan programs...just privat collection

 

ShadowDefender. A week ago I would've replied with "2", but have started once again using good, ole version 2 of Faronics AE ... installed XP in a VM and was able to start using it once again.

They're not all payware though.

 

Abandoned or discontinued- it really doesn't matter as the result is the same.

I bought Trend Micro Antispyware version 3.0 and shortly thereafter it was upgraded to version 3.5.
A few months later, it was discontinued as a separate product.
I hated to see it go.

 

Too bad the poll question didn't ask...

How many security programs have you bought or used that are in active development, but you abandoned them anyway?

That would have been a fun thread.

For this poll, all that comes to mind immediately is BOClean.

Not a lot of active development going on with that one.

 

SSM
FD-ISR
Shadow Defender

...and they still work for me in XP (x86)

 

I have no idea how many abandoned discontinued security apps I've tried over the years. Still have several dozen.
Regarding ones I still use, all of my core security apps are abandoned or discontinued:
System Safety Monitor
Kerio 2.1.5
Proxomitron
The combo is lightweight, rock stable, and has never let me down. No reason to change.

 

This...I don't use anything abandoned either.

 

I've got an old XP machine in the back room that still has snoopfree on it

Maybe it's still got SafeSpace on it too? I haven't even booted it up in a while.

 

Are freewares allowed

Comodo's BOclean and CTM

 

I purchased AVG Identity Protection when it was on sale. Then I found out the reason it was on sale was because it was no longer supported as a stand alone product. I remember reading their response something about since I got such a good discount I should not complain. Never will I do business with that v3 store again. At least I got my money back though.

 

Hello,

SuperAdBlocker. I just replaced it with Ad Muncher Premium.

Abandoned and no longer using: ShadowUser Pro, the notorious ProcessGuard, RegDefend. Shadow Defender is the only abandoned one that I still use.

 

First Defense-ISR
SafeSpace
In my viewpoint, the 2 greatest software security programs ever created, and they didnt make it. Go figure.
