New AV. Stomps its Competition.

Ever wanted a AV that does EXACTLY what it says it does. No unneeded features it's just there to do exactly what its supposed to do. Wonder if they have been tested by AV-test or Av-Comp.

I wonder how long before this one shows up in some peoples sigs ?

 

do they have a avatar?

 

YES! and I think they are cheap also

 

Cheap is relative, but I love your approach Fajo. May the force be with you.

 

ROFL!

 

Do they have or are they working on a suite?

 

Sound like too much advertising.

Like I win a mil each day from British Lottery or such things!

I really cant tell if your being sarcastic or if this one went completely over your head.

 

Seems fishy I'm not touching it.

 

Some people are taking it seriously

 

i am testing this placebo antivirus now it does not have a scaner no pop ups at all

 

Nice review there jmonge, as always! One great feature about it, is also that it is probably the AV that doesn't conflict with any other security application, ever and you can even run it next to your existing AV.

Isn't that great!

 

Well I thought this was very funny, but sadly I know many people who would have easily fallen for this. Made me smile - thanks Fajo! I've uninstalled FD-ISR, SandboxIE, Shadow Defender, Symantec Endpoint Protection and my entire operating system and am running PlaceboAV on it's own. It's a definite keeper for me!

 

Finally, an AntiVirus being developed that realizes that producing an endless number of signatures is simply not sustainable. The heuristics in this AV are exceptional and I suspect all its competitors are busy reverse engineering it, as we speak.

 

Did you check the posts I mentioned? Maybe after then you too would be sarcastic.

 

Placebo doesn't do anything on Linux either.
Great addition to rkhunter!

 

the download button doesn't work

 

It's everything I've ever dreamed of. So light and speedy on my system. Other Vista users, take the plunge and try!

 

Placebo?Sure I've heard that name somewhere before!!(some kind of miricle drug!!!)

 

lol

 

what

 

nice tray icon it doesnt work at all no detention,nothing,nada

 

At least you will always know where your AV will rank in tests.. None of that up and down roller coaster.

 

it is very lite

 

I tried to download PlaceboAV but couldn't.
Then it struck me; It's so good, it doesn't need to be downloaded or installed.

Total protection freeware and no updating headaches, plus absolutely no drag on my system.

Only one thing; where is the link to submit FPs ?
