New In Threatfire V4.1

Well, i scripted a VBScript to add to run and sure enough the same old ways cropped up again leaving only to allow it or carry off REGEDIT to quarantine, no DENY option to prevent this at all yet once again.

I duno why they don't just get off the pot and place a DENY option in there and be done with it. It would save a lot of frustration and disappointments being lodged against TF as of late.

Easter,

Did you send the VB-script to TF support?

Cheers

 

We are in communication now directly, yes.

I posted this problem at their forum, they said they would take note.

I solved the problem by installing the 4.0 version and let it smart update. Now it's ok.

Cheers.

 

On my pc Threat fire eats 99-92% of cpu is that normal
thats tooooooooooooooooo much
can anyone help me?
win xp home sp3
for example
kaspersky eats 5%

 

deinstall asap

 

This version is lighter than previous, but I think it still use a lot of system resources...
I'm not talking about RAM or CPU, but the rest...

If our system isn't doing nothing, why the program should always check the system?
The hook instructions doesn't fire this way, right?

I also tried it against keyloggers without any success...

 

ok,but what is "asap"
maybe
As Soon As Possible?

 

as soon as possible

 

ok but why Pc tools make a software that eats 90% of cpu??

 

ThreatFire uses around 0-5% on my Atom 1,6GHz based netbook.
Considering how weak this CPU is, any dual core CPU above 2GHz could run it with ease.

 

i got celeron 1.6 asus laptop 1 core 1,5 gb ram
threat fire eats 99-92 cpu usage
win xp home sp3 without net frame work

 

There must be some conflict between Threatfire and some other program you run at startup.

 

on startup i got
Ad muncher 4.72(full from polish magazine)
kaspersky av 2009
autoconnect(conect automaticly to internet ADSL)
power gear(power managment for my asus)
process lasso
o o clevar cache v4

Thats all

 

Maybe it's Kaspersky... Anyway, here's the official TF forum, you may want to report it and they may have means of solving your problem:

no its not kaspesky
few days ago i tested avira free and there was the same problem

 

Well, it can even be a hardware driver you have that doesn't like TF and makes it go mad... In such cases, you fix it with trial and error. Maybe in the TF forum, they can give you some debug version or something and find the problem quicker.

Otherwise, nobody can guess what's your problem, unless he is a magician.

One thing is for sure, it's not normal for TF to eat 99% of a 1,6 Ghz CPU. Not by a long shot.

 

ok thanks

 

Any other experiences?

I'm running ThreatFire on my laptop for about 2 months and there was no ThreatFire action. So is it really "necessary"?

On the other side it slows down browsing a little bit ...

 

I would not use this criteria to select my security software

Depends on your surfing habits and what other software you have installed.

I have not seen this on my laptop, but you could try another HIPS/behaviour blocker to see whether they slow down your browsing.

Overall it is running as light as a feather here.

 

Have you tried other browsers. I experienced slow-down with Opera (upload-speeds dropped right off) but no difference with Chrome or FF. No diff with IE8 either

 

Hey fellas

I been out of the loop for a week or so and was curious as well as anxious if TF is finally updated another version yet or are we still chained down with the same one with no DENY feature as well as all the improvements proposed some many months and weeks ago.

I not given up on it nor want to, but it's been a very long delay IMO between the last version and the talk up of releasing an even better one.

Thanks EASTER

 

.
As far as I know the "deny" option has not been implemented yet. I believe in 4.1 they dropped the AV database component. I only tested it briefly though, so correct me if I'm wrong. I'm patiently waiting too for a version of TF that I can really trust.

 

Dropping the AV db should not be an "issue" according to them anyway - only solve conflict-problems and such. What was in effective use was TF's own black and white databases - and now the software features cloud-updating/db in addition to the regular updates.

 

I hope i.m wrong but with this long absence originatig for the PCTools camp, it;s beginning to look strikingly similar to the same demise that plagued Power Shadow Master & the other chinese HIPS which was a real step in the right direction.

This seemingly very long delay without concrete explaination except broken record canned responses from it's forum doesn;t exactly encourage expectations expected many hoped for that it will ever make it to either distribution or market, which would be a yet another let down for users full of anticipation and hope in it.

But like i said, i hope i'm wrong but the longer they continue to put matters off with TF the more it signals to me IMO there could be other alternatives than the work on that particular TF project in exchange for some other priorities (if they have any ).

TF IMO is been very prime to take a positive popular center stage stance if they can or are able to press on ahead with it sooner then later.

Interest is serious waining at this point and users are definitely losing hope if they ever see this project materialize.
