Re: Avira AntiVir ProActiv

what about the PM I sent you yesterday

 

macstorm

i dont have theright to acces to the link

only automatic redirection

 

That means you need to be accepted as a betatester first.

You only need to register one time, please be patient. In my case it took about one week to be part of the testers last year

 

Any rough estimations on when this technology will end up in the final product?

 

no idea. but i think it is mor realistic that windows 7 is released first
this beta is a very early version, stable but till now not able to detect many things and only available for xp till now. also the GUI is very limited so i expect big changements in this betatest.

 

A quality behavior blocker (as we all know it will be) integrated into the Avira lineup is fantastic. The fact that it will be in the free version is a real marketing whammy! Can't wait to check it out.

 

Now if they would only add the possibility of automatic operation in Personal too... this has been intentionally left out already from start, right? With that added, it would be perfect, and I would most probably be a full-time user, no doubt.

Still have not received an answer from Kees to my question, though... ;

 

Great news So this new feature is like some sort of HIPS?

 

Apologise

Proactive on medium level. It is not like TF, it is more like a midly configured drive sentry behavioral analysis.

Compare it with the classification you get from Drive Sentry when encountering a program which is not in the black or white list.

Only differences with DS is that Proactive does not throw a pop-up, but sends the file to Avira Servers. I have promised not to test malware on our security setup, so thrown away all samples and PoCs, can't tell you anything about the effectiveness of the current build in rule set.

 

np, mate - thx for the answer.

So, does ProActive still block automatically if it's not in a list, or will that result in a prompt for the user? Do you know if unattended operation is also implemented for the On-access protection in that beta?

 

All I can see is that it adds programs in the allow list. I have thrown away all malware and PoC's so can't answer your questions.

 

i will try to make a test today

 

Re: Avira AntiVir ProActiv

You'll have to wait for a moderator to give you permission, just be patient.
And no you can't get a link to the beta test, just be patient my friend.
herr hschuette is the person to ask this permission, you can do that
at the forum. No information at this time as it is still in beta, sorry mate.

 

Is this only being tested in German at the moment?

 

Both German and English

 

I never looked properly for it.Got it now thanks.

 

Are there any news available?

 

I would like to know this myself...anybody have any idea when it will be incorporated?

Thanks in advance,

Toby

I thought this software had something like this already. Wow no network scanner and no Behavior Interceptor.

 

Re: Avira AntiVir ProActiv

hey how could you know about new version, could you please post me the link/thread discussing new tech. I want to know about it...

 

These things take time, we in beta know from day to day, to give any dates wouldn't help things along.. Have you tried to sign on as a beta tester? By doing that you could get closer and chat with the other testers. It doesn't cost anything, its absolutely free..

Re: Avira AntiVir ProActiv

Ditto.. I am tired of them adding new crap.. sandboxing, vulnerability scan, POS. Went back to 2009.
