Wonder when 3.0 will be out.

 

Havnt a clue but its in the works i think.

 

I'm running ST in a VM at the moment. I appreciate that they're continuing to work on it, but I wonder how useful it really is? Have there been an professional reviews recently? There is also the matter of the crawler toolbar, but I would just tell people to ignore it if the program is effective.

 

well the removal needs to be consider because others are far better. so room for improvement there. but the prevention is strong with the HIPs component turned on. you can throw anything at it and it will alert and then you can block it. so on a clean PC ST does really well at blocking.

 

*My Opinion* --- In the age of the cheap-but-superb Imaging programs, cleaning ability should not be a significant factor in choosing security apps.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am sorely tempted by ST & have trialed it several times in the past few years -- but it has always been too bloody heavy when I tried it.

If anybody runs the latest version, I would appreciate reading about ST's metrics re: Total I/O Delta, Total CPU time.

 

Brocke/cheater87, can you guys tell me if this new version fixes the issue
with Sandboxie or not?

Bo

 

well im not sure because i dont use sandboxie, What was the issue at hand with it? i dont recall. but i do know of an issue with the two.

 

Sure I'll reinstall sandboxie and Spyware Terminator later today.

 

Let me know how it goes, please.

Bo

 

The issue that I experienced was freezing on many websites when using
a Sandboxed browser and running ST. I ll love to use ST but can not use
it if I have to stop using Sandboxie. I know is a great program, on my
computer there are no issues if I don't use a Sandboxed browser.
I recommend ST to people that don't want to use Sandboxie. Anyway I
hope they fix the issue, sometime.

Right now I'm running CIS as my anti malware suite. What would be the best way to install Spyware Terminator and Sandboxie to test it out? I don't want to have to reinstall CIS again. Should the real time not clash?

 

Image your system drive. Uninstall CIS. Install ST. Test ST as desired. Restore Image.

 

I'll do a system restore point.

 

That will probably restore COMODO, but it will could leave some leftovers etc.
I tried it several times to get my ESET installation back, and it worked, except for that I had to update to get all program modules back.
An real system image is an better option, but it could work.

 

Try Comodo Time Machine.

 

Or test it inside VirtualBox... free and simple.

 

System restore points are not nearly so thorough as a bit-by-bit image. Good imagers are relatively inexpensive. Some are even free.

 

I'll go back and look for my imaging topic and see which to use or try out Comodos.

 

I could use Virtual box except I have no more windows keys.

 

since it's a virtual environment.. just use a trial and keep reseting..

 

Good point haha. I seem to still have a Linux partition on my HDD that I was unaware about so Comodo is out till I figure out how to get rid of that.

 

I gave ST a brief spin. It's not bad, & runs a bit lighter than it used to.

By the way -- ST does NOT need a reboot during install, so you can test it via Shadow Defender.

 

nice to know
