Malware Defender

Five minutes ago i've tried to install the program from torchosft(here's the link http://www.torchsoft.com/en/download.html),i've read the eula and...see the screenshot.

As i'm new to this sofware,may i ask some tips and tweaks for this sofware?(i let it in learning mode for now,as my system is 100% clean)
Thanks.

 

Finally a good free HIPS, I may use it once its out of Beta.

 

A good free HIPS? Dude, where have you been hiding?

 

Comodo D+ is a very very good free alternative too

 

Well we have had Comodo, Online Armor, PCTFW Plus.

Online Armor: Does not like my System

Comodo: I don't want to use them

PCTFW Plus: Not truly a full HIPS.

So yeah A good free HIPS from someone I trust, and hopefully want cause issues on my system.

 

Damn,a little painful uninstall....MD wouldn't uninstall at all...tried with its own uninstaller,nothing,not enough privileges.As admin,nothing.Add and remove programs,the same thing.OOOOOOkkkkkk....let's play serious.JvPower Tools uninstaller,which removed more than 50 registry keys,and after,Revo Pro in action with forced uninstall.Some leftovers in C/Programs files,which were deleted after another forced uninstall after reboot.Pheeew.....
Anyhow,a RollBack snapshot was ready to take everything under control.

 

Outpost-free includes host protection (HIPS), plus a two way firewall with automatic rules creation (Learning Mode), & self protection.

OP-free includes an adequate Help file PLUS there is a superb FAQ about OP-free at THIS thread in OP's support forum.

 

Damn, MD 2.7.1 seems like it has conflicts with the internet or with PCTool firewall, i'll have to check this when i come back home

 

Probably not a good idea to run MD with PCTFW, given the HIPS-lite component within PCT. Use one or the other, but not both.

 

I've run MD with KIS 2010 with no problems....KIS have more powerful HIPS than PC Tools firewall.(btw,i dont care about matousec results)

 

PC Tools is redundant here!

 

Sure, and there's probably several other HIPS that run fine with MD as well. And some that don't. However, in principle it is not advisable, in the same way it's not advisable to run two realtime AVs.

 

Please, can anyone upload to megaupload the 2.7.1 beta? I can't download it and I would love to test it. Thanks .

There you go

 

A thousand thanks .

 

Uninstalled MD 2.7.1.
Waiting for next release to try it again, it was having conflicts with my internet connection.

 

I know,but if it works....... ...why not?

 

Because you never know if it really is truly working. It appears not to be causing any problems, but you'll never actually know. Long experience may show whether both HIPS are showing all the right prompts but you just don't know when you hit 'that critical moment' that there won't be a conflict. It's always an unnecessary gamble. But it's your choice.

 

Just to let you know guys, Malware Defender blocks my internet so i uninstalled it.
i'll wait an official release to begin testing it again

 

~Quoted post removed~

You should remove that link it's been jacked. I had a fake av try to download from that site.

 

Hmmm, tried 2.7.1, worked fine for a while, but then I got a hard system freeze and could only turn off the box via power button. Will try next version.

He's right Good for alerting people

Had to use a combo of FF and IE6 with scripting to get right through all the crappy www's before i got there.











Don't know whether the file is infected, maybe not, but by the time you got it, you might get something else you do NOT want

 

Malware Defender 2.7.1 Beta

Sigh. This is my Dropbox account and the real thing, will NOT get jacked or anything like that.

 

I wouldn't consider D+ as a good alternative too MD because MD has more features like more configurable file and folder rules and policing the loading off DLL's

In my opinion Outpost HIPS is very weak, I have testing poc's which can easily terminate and shut Outpost.

Agreed you just don't need 2 HIPS anyway.

well I didn't have any internet connection issues when I tried 2.7 probably something to do with your configurations

 

It seems that I was lucky (or fast enough) to download the beta from Icr's link before it was jacked. Anyway I have double-checked my system with Hitman and MBAM to make sure all is clean.
Reading about the beta I think I will stay with 2.6.0 and start tinkering with it. I only hope that the final shows before it runs out .
