enquiring about new av (i.e) indian av

hello everyone i like share something new (i.e.) born in india, living in india, but only few people known about it . that is "indiaantivirus.com"

this is not new av in indian market,but also not a rouge one. but anybody have any or some info about it. i wanted info about real user using it, and info about ram usage, detection rate and extras like bells and whistles.

thats it, bye bye.

 

I know about Net Protector. Used to come free with some ISP packages a few years ago. It was no good back then. No idea how it is now.......

 

I did some research, and you know what? Its a rogue antivirus. Here is three reasons why:

1) Its a malicious domain, clicking "Free Useful Utilities" took me to -www.computerdelhi.com- which is also a malicious domain that distrubutes their rogue software. avast! Network Shield component blocked two malicious frames/images from this site (computerdelhi.com). -www.netprotector.co.in/- is another one of their domains. Webrep rates all three sites red and Trend Micro Site Safety Center also rated the domains as dangerous. All three sites even look malicious/fake (i.e flashing banners/icons). Also, when do feedback messages request for your phone number?

2) Instructions to remove its predecessor, "Net Protector Antivirus 2010": http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-net-protector-antivirus-2010.html

3) Smartscreen Filter (IE9) blocked the download and notified me that the installer was malicious when I tried downloading it.

 

Norton blocks any downloads from indiaantivirus.com. It says "Malicious Web Site Blocked".

 

Looks quite suspicious: http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/indiaantivirus.com

 

ven now it is free with some ISP packages. This AV has a really ugly interface and poor detection. The free trial doesn't remove threats. Inspite of some problems I can ensure you that it is not a rogue but indeed there are much more better alternatives.

 

its not rogue but it is not suitable to be installed ... why not go for better choices which are even free

 

A year ago I downloaded the installer, extracted its contents and scanned with Mcafee which removed some files as virus. Then I scanned the remaining files with Hitmanpro which showed more infections and uploaded many suspicious files for further analysis. Maybe its virus signatures are not password protected but I don't want to take chances.

 

i have never heard about this antivirus. Its better to use other free AV's like MSE/AVAST/AVIRA/Comodo...

 

Unique name eh

 

thanks for the replies peoples i am not using the av. i am currently using emsisoft av. my emsisoft did not allow me to visit or download any file from the address. all blocked immediately.

ps: thanks once again for all your replies.

 

one fails to understand the reason for this post?

 

its a bogus av 99% probability. just use MSE.
strange ie9's filter doesnt block the url or the download... maybe aftr completion it will block.

 

Yeah, it scans the download after it is completed and then blocks it.

 

Why MSE? There are MANY other good AVs so why the "A versus B" plug for MSE?

 

same thought here. MSE is not the best option there absolutely . Avira or others AVG AVAST or even PCTOOLS stiill better i think

 

That isn't true if you're talking about the free version.

 

According to MRG Flash tests, you could say the same about the paid version

 

actually personally m just using mse as a secondary tool to remove any crap that does land on my system which is very rare...install and forget kind of guy so it fits me perfectly.
forgot to add "or any other better alternatives" to my post.

 

I find it odd that software needs a nationality. Same thing was done with the Epic browser.

 

hi,
The India nighbour Indonesia is currently more active if we consider the number of emerging antivirus:
Blue Atom AV: http://atom-core.com/home/2011/03/blue-atom-antivirus-3-1-02-beta-is-ready-now/
PC Mav AV: http://pcmav.biz/
ATV Guard AV: http://rexsonic-technologie.webs.com/

But seriously, as crime, malwares and threats are international, where is the need of regional antivirus?
As KingSoft-the reference of Indian antivirus-is quite weak, what about others?

Isn't Kingsoft a Chinese-based company?

 

Sorry, KingSoft was in my head, but it was Quick Heal av that i wanted to mention: http://www.quickheal.com/products.asp
