Bitdefender Safepay is released

Nonsense! If you read my original post, you can use a free VPN in conjunction with BD Safepay! You can pay for the integrated VPN feature but you don't have to!

 

From the Trusteer Rapport web site FAQ section:

 

I'm not sure what you're talking about. JerryM made reference to the Bitdefender statement that the paid version of Safepay protects in the open wifi environment. The reason for that is the paid version is actually a VPN subscription. It is the VPN that protects open wifi connections. I don't see what that has to do with your comment that there are also free VPN services. You are quite right though that Free Safepay can be used with any other VPN service - free or paid - and be just as secure.

 

Here is another review from PC World: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2045338/bitdefender-safepay-offers-secure-browsing-for-online-banking-shopping.html.

Notes that SafePay is using Bitdefender's web shield for primary browser protection. That is noteworthy since BD's web shield is one of the best in the business.

Really wish BD would contact MRG for a standalone test of the product.

 

I agree, Bitdefender have a fantastic webshield.

 

Thanks, itman,

I had Trusteer for awhile, but it seemed to interfere with something, I had KIS and Avast Pro on the two computers, so I removed it.
I can not say for sure that Trusteer caused the problems, but when I removed it the problems went away. I do not remember what the problems were.

I loved the browser protection Trustee Rapport gave. And it had minimal to zero impact on my system performance wise. However after the incident I will relate below, I got rid of it as fast as possible. BTW - I ran their uninstaller tool which I found is the only way to get rid of most of it. Afterwards I still had crud from it in the registry, hidden and non-hidden drivers, etc. I had to delete/uninstall manually.

When I installed EAM, it was conflicting with TR. Nothing serious but something I thought Trusteer should know about. So I created a trouble report with the TR software. That was a major, major mistake. Not only does TR upload their entire software footprint of your PC, I beleive they scan your entire system and upload info on that. Now I verified my event log times to ensure the following was a result of that data upload. The next day and every day thereafter, I had about 30 inbound unsolicted connections by svchost.exe from various Amazon servers blocked by the WIN 7 firewall at cold boot time. Trusteer uses Amazon servers exclusively. This went on for about two weeks and finally stopped when I removed TR.This activity was not TR updates; it uses it's own .exes for that.

Good riddence to you, Trusteer Rapport!

 

Are there further tests?
