    I'm not familiar with OA, but from my previous experience with Cyberhawk, Micropoints seems to be the direct Chinese equivalent.

    It works on the same basis as Cyberhawk does - only the rules that trigger the alerts of respective programs are slightly different, near as I can tell. The one VERY BIG advantage over Cyberhawk is that Micropoint handles malware removal: once it detects a suspicious process, it terminates it on the spot, and offers to remove all file hierarchy and registry changes performed by the process and delete the process' executable as well. Again, use with care, since as previously mentioned, the whitelist isn't very well-tuned for Western software yet, and you might run across an FP or two.

    Hey ,Perman.Happy to hear your words.Although I am not the staff of Micropoint,my altitude is the same as the Micropoint's business attitude.I just a lover of Micropoint.Some Chinese people always believe in the things from other countries.As far as I know, many Chinese people test the Micropoint because it comes from China.If the Chinese didn't support it, it would disappear quickly.I am looking forward to your test result.Thanks.

    I never tried this before, but I think technology only matters on automatic or advanced detection, a fast responding program can still do the job well, on the user side, some program can be better than other, but it doesn't mean all, if user get fine support, it can also cure the infection. No antivirus software can protect user completely, so the stupid program just have to work hard. Why not try to use their technology directly? They spend many yeas to study the technology, you just spend the money and good marketing.
    Technology will never beat the capital and marketing

    Hi,Ink!Your opinion is so cool.Absolutely,you are a security guru. No antivirus software can protect user completelyThat is true.But I am a Lazy one, I often depend on the software.Maybe I should learn some knowledge about antivirus .

    Thanks for the introduction to Micropoint. The more antivirus programs the better. Not only more choices for the consumer but a healthy competition that will lead to better protection. Let the games begin :D

    If you say Micropoint is Chinese version of Cyberhawk, it may not totally correct. It's because the function of Micropoint is not the same as Cyberhawk. Almost, I think Micropoint is better than Cyberhawk. But I don't say Micropoint is really good until now, may be it will be better and improved later. Micropoint still need a lot to be improved.:)

    Tried it in a VM where only Sandboxie is installed.

    125 meg installed and would restart whenever I tried to run FF sandboxed even after adding all of SB's modules as trusted.

    Better than Cyberhawk, not at this testing.

    Seems to be a 90 day trial?

    Try Scoundrel Simulator against Micropoint.

    Micropoint Proactive Defense Software is a next-generation security product.
    It base on an anti-virus expert system can automatically protect your PC from the virus, trojan and other threat even the new born one.

    :rolleyes: Try testing new Virus, new Worm, new Trojan Horse, new Backdoor, new Spy and Rootkit. It's worth a try

    ok, I've installed this.

    1. The english version is Beta
    2. States duration of service is 90 days? Thought this program was free, NOT free trial?
    The English version already has serial included.

    It asks for (software) registration.

    On first re-boot Geswall has not loaded, which suggests that there maybe a conflict. I'll reboot once again.

    Also on first re-boot it has detected activetoolband.dll, anyone know what this is?

    Here are some screenshots

    The license will renew itself after 90 days. It's an unlimited trial ATM.

    Regarding the dll file, is your computer an Acer model?

    Does this mean it's no longer freeware after beta?
    Yes it is, it's must be a FP, see this thread.

    Unfortunately, it also conflicts with Geswall. And could not remember some trusted programs, exe's. Hence, same alerts upon restarts.

    Micropoint is a commercial product. They're reportedly facing difficulties in getting onto the market and officially selling their product due to some legal issues, which is one of the biggest controversies on the Chinese security software field these days. However, if you like the product, I don't think it will be very expensive for Western customers after the currency conversion.

    Regarding the inability to remember trusted files, if you're willing to post the relevent screenshots, I can report the issues to the developers for you.

    Well, I've uninstalled it due to the conflict with Geswall. Could you inform the developers about this? if they aren't already aware.

    The screenshot it basically the first popup window which offers the option of allow this and remember the action i.e. an exclusion list. The problem is, IME, that it asks about thee same process after a restart/reboot. I didn't take any screenshots. I did like the program.

    Could you also inform them about the FP with activetoolband.dll that I encountered in this thread.

    Thanks

    I have re-imaged since then. But my guess is that it may have done. It definitely wasn't running alongside Micropoint after reboot to complete installation.

    Geswall is top on my list when installing security software.
