Re: Rising Personal Firewall 2011 - Free

Thank you for the link, looks like a nice stand-alone firewall.
I'm sick of all of the HIPS featured firewalls, they have never been any use to me. Used HIPS firewalls for years and they never blocked any malware, just cause system issues and corrupted installations. The problems that they caused was much worse than what malware would have did.

I've been using ZoneAlarm Free for the last few years and it has never caused any problems, issues, etc. and I've not had any malware period. So what is the point of me having HIPS?

Of coarse I would like to give Rising a try and see if I like it as much as ZoneAlarm Free.

Thanks.

 

have the English versions come out free yet?

 

Their english versions came out at the time of the first post..

 

I downloaded & installed RIS 2011 from the official site & it didn't asked for anything, no notification like this is a trial version for 30 days nothing. I think official site still says trial/buy but its freeware. Lets wait & see if it notifies anything after 30 days.

I have requested TheIgster (Software Tester in YouTube) to do a test RIS 2011 v/s Comodo Internet Security. Looking tests on RIS 2011 on YouTube it seems the signatures are not that good but behaviour blocker is quite good. For Comodo I have asked him to allow all the popups, only block those popups which clearly mentions suspicious malware behaviour found or unsafe app & sandbox where it recommends to sandbox.

He replied that early this week he will do & post the test on YouTube.

Thanxx

Re: Rising Personal Firewall 2011 - Free

After some zero-day testing, Rising Internet Security has blocked very little threats from infesting the Windows 7 64-bit virtual machine.

Therefore, I find it extremely lacking in effectiveness of protection.

 

Re: Rising Personal Firewall 2011 - Free

A lot of the modules are not compatible with windows 64 bit ,so protection is decreased.It probably fares better on 32 bit.

Also you can tweak the settings considerably (more than i've found with other HIPS)... Were those enabled?

 

Re: Rising Personal Firewall 2011 - Free

Yeah. On 64-bit it is just a normal AV which is naturally not pretty good in catching zero day malware.

Try it for 32-bit and you will see it performing much better.

 

I used the defaults, which means they should be enabled.

As for 32-bit testing, I may do that, but my main system is 64-bit.

 

You cannot count on RIS...
RIS = RIP

 

Win XP SP3

If Firewall or Antivirus of RIS 2011 are disabled no notification from windows like Firewall or Antivirus is disabled. Can anyone check?

Thanxx
Naren

 

I am running RIS 2011 in my Windows 7 32bit Home Premium machine. No problem so far. Running smooth and fine...

 

Even if I disable all protection from tray icon right click, there is no notification from windows??

Thanxx
Naren

 

Same problem here...

 

In your previous post you said everything is fine??

Thanxx
Naren

 

No I meant everything was and is running fine. That time I haven't checked that problem. But it's not a very big issue to me at least...

 

I asked regarding this prob coz I was surfing & just thought to open Rising & saw the repair thing. I clicked on repair & it showed Rising Firewall was disabled. I didn't get any notification from windows or Rising itself. So this is a big prob.

Thanxx
Naren

 

@ narenbisht, I'm using Win XP Sp3 also and Rising Firewall only (with Avast).

If Rising Firewall'protection is disable from tray icon right click ['Stop protection'] Rising Firewall'NetDefense module is disable (e.g.: sub-modules like Network Control, Intrusion detection, ARP Spoofing Defense, between others). However inbound protection resumes protected. I think that it's the reason why "no notification from windows" comes out.

There are Rising'Services (ravmond.exe, RsMgrSvc.exe) and/or Rising'Drivers (rfwtdi.sys, rfwarp.sys, rfwndis5.sys, rsfwdrv.sys files) that are activated to do their work in background.

The "repair thing" allows to repair (enabling) Rising Firewall'NetDefense module (and their sub-modules). Inbound protection is always enable by default.

 

Meh... Barracuda filters apparently have their own opinion about this offer

 

Today I tested RIS 2011 in VMware Win XP SP3 32 Bits with 22 zero day malware. And I also uploaded all the malware to VirusTotal to check how many detects these zero days. Rising did very well. Signatures detected half & Behaviour detected half the samples. Only 2 malware were not detected by Rising but I think they were not malware but unwanted softwares. No active threats were there. Malwarebytes found few harmless traces. The 2 unwanted softwares not detected by Rising were detected by very few in VirusTotal. Of the 22 malware, Among the freewares Rising was No.1 then Avast, Avira, Comodo, AVG, MSE & Fortinet.

I found Rising Trojan Defense (Behaviour Blocker) excellent.

But I found 2 suspicious entries in Network Defense (Rising Firewall). about.exe & something called relevant knowledge installer. Googled & found about.exe a malware & relevant a unwanted software.

Naren

 

That's great. I am wondering how many wilders members are actually using any of the Rising softwares

 

Hi Naren,

Thank you for your stats. But before moving further, I just would like to know how can you sure that samples which you have used are 0day threats?

Cheers,
