    Re: SpySweeper Beta 5 - Feedback?

    hmmm so Ewido has a new release? Thanx for the heads up Get you geek on...

    I had errors that weren't gone with system restore .. I didn't installed FD-ISR at that time yet .. (now I have lol..learned my lesson I guess)

    with the current version I am very pleased, also with Ewido I am pleased but A2 at the moment is the best thing I have honestly...the possibilities are endless regards their realtime IDS.

    Yes, I am running ewido 4.0, A-Squared 2.0 and SpySweeper 5.0 Beta 3 simultaneously.

    IMHO, at the moment, both SpySweeper and ewido complement each other in spyware and trojan detection, although both programs will aim at to be equally strong in both trojan and spyware detection, and the method used by ewido and SpySweeper is different. So running them both simultaneously gives two layers of protection, and for the time being, there is no conflict so far.

    In the future, when both ewido and SpySweeper are mature enough and equally strong in both trojan and spyware detection, I may just choose one from the two.

    Whenever I try a beta software or a new software, I always use TrueImage to backup a copy of my system first. This helps to revert to the previous state when serious error occurs. :D

    seems like a mature way of analysing programs!

    they do complement eachother (however I do prefer the realtime memory scanner of Boclean, the FileScanner of Ewido P!us * both for trojandetection * and Spysweeper for Spyware ;)

    as my first line of malware defense I have now discovered A2 .. and simply I would give all my licences away just to have this IDS of A2 .. the best effort made so far regarding the implementation of heuristics and HIPS

    And I have a dual boot system, dual booting Windows XP and Windows 2000. When unexpected error occurs in either OS, I can continue to work on the other OS. Some people used VM virtualization software to test new or beta software, which is also a good way of testing new software.

    so to conclude (at least at my side) .. no beta spysweeper for me anymore ..

    .. however I did like the new GUI (that greyish felt nice at my screen lol)

    yes VmWare is my companion but sometimes I am too lazy to do all that work :D :cool:
