Good Idea, this would clear up my doubts too @taleblou, we would appreciate, if you were able to replicate the tests. but, if you were not able to, I understand. Thanks a lot -Harsha
Hi jnthn, this is a fantastic suggestion It will be even better if taleblou can share the malware samples to those who are keen to test too. Cheers, sinlam
Ok I will do a retest and post the result and screenshots (I hope I got taking screenshot in the linux right. lol). Also I will post the steps I have taken to do the test.
Hi taleblou, Thank you for your suggestion. SecureAPlus has Lockdown mode that blocks untrusted program automatically. Is this what you are referring to? As for the pre-virus scanning, let's find out more in the next revamped version Cheers, sinlam
Well I am re-testing now and this time with screenshots and steps and details about the malwares and their detection rate will be included. Waiting for initial database scan to finish.
Hi Guys, For those who are keen to test taleblou's malware samples, please pm me. Please test it on a clean VM and put the samples only after your VM has been whitelisted by SecureAPlus. Do post your testing result. taleblou, I hope you don't mind me sharing the sample as our ultimate aim is to build a robust security software Cheers, sinlam
No, but I think rules in here may not allow it. A admin might ban or delete it I think. I think you should remove it before a mod see it. May go against the rules in here? YOU SHOULD ASK A MOD PERMISSION AND NOT ME.
I wills end you the new malwares and screenshot and everything when the test is finished, Still waiting for initial database scan to finish and its taking such a long time on a clean light windows 7. Even choosing fast mode.
Thanks, taleblou for letting me know. I have edited the message. So for those who are keen to try them out, please pm me Cheers, sinlam
Thanks taleblou for mentioning about the fast mode. We will look into it Most importantly, appreciate your time and effort for testing SecureAPlus. Btw, can you please help to remove my quote from your post #511? Thank you so much. Cheers, sinlam
It took 37 minutes to finish the initial scan. using the fast mode. lol. Now the etst will begin and will be back after finished.
Hi taleblou, can you please help to remove my quote about the link from your post #511 by clicking on the edit button? Thanks a trillion Cheers, sinlam
I did. Also the test is finished and waiting for the hitman pro and malwarebyte result. Secureaplus did a excellent job this time at blocking all and its clam av detected 2 of the malwares and removed them. Will send you all the data as soon as all is finished. I have also incl. screenshot for every step and ways.
I am uploading the all of the test result to rapidshare and will pm you the download link. Its over 38MB in size.
Not really surprised with the results. Anti-exec blocking common executable file not on its whitelist. I'm curious though as to what kinds of files SAP monitors aside from common exe, dll, msi, vb script (something like SRP's default list of file extensions).
Hi jnthn, good question SecureAPlus actually does more than just monitoring file extensions. Merely monitoring file extensions will not be a robust protection. Cheers, sinlam
