BluePoint which uses anti-virus engine?

 

I believe it's their own in-house engine.

 

No one knows - but they say that they have their own engine - and I must say it has very good detection ratio

 

None I think, since it's not an Antivirus

Edit: Isn't it a little more like Prevx?

 

It's more default/deny. It does have heuristics and cloud av.

 

So it's a cloud based Antimalware product with Heur detection just like (Prevx) but BP has included a default/Deny solution as well, basically.

Or am I missing something?

 

cool i am going to install now

 

is it resource friendly? and how good is the detection? any layered security component?

 

From the BluePoint site:

BluePoint does not rely on outdated protection methods, such as definitions, signatures, and/or behavioral detection. Many security products rely on lists of known "bad" software; this approach will never secure your PC effectively as all viruses begin as unknown files. BluePoint Security combines the most powerful technologies, cloud antivirus + whitelisting, to secure your PC from malicious software. Complete protection utilizing a simple but extremely effective "deny the unknown" approach. This new and refreshing methodology blocks malicious software before an infection occurs, providing you with peace of mind and confidence when browsing the Internet.

 

is denying the unknown giving a prompt to the user to accept or deny?

 

Here's a link to mrg testing:

yeah. kind of a whitelist but there's no av in the cloud. it's more of a server to categorize files based on reputation.

 

i am currently testing this one

 

share your experience with us J..howz the resource usage and howz the detection..does it deny the unknown or throw allow or deny options

 

seriously my legs are feeling warm already it may burn my pants but that's ok lol,it is getting kind of hot in here and i am not drinking coffee man

 

lol..J .. dont let it to fry you my good friend..and let me know about the deny the unknown thing

 

it looks nicer the pop alert is bigger and cooler it's like a hips

 

good to know but does it deny the unknown as it says or throws option to allow - deny?

 

it has 3 procesess running and aprox. 60 megs of rams and it feels warm in here already

 

does it download any signature database or everything is in the cloud?

 

it is in the cloud like prevx

 

and what about deny the unknown?

 

you know what if it doesnt have or if the program is not register or licence it is consider unknown so BPS will denny or blocked it
