http://free.antivirus.com/web-protection-add-on/

 

this one looks very interesting cause it is an adon and does not run in the background but how is the detention rate for this antivirus?do you know?any body?thanks

 

i run it now in my pc it run in the backgound and it is a bit aggresive when stops malware domains it has web threat protection in three levels high,medium,low
also monitor smtp traffic ,irc requests,dns queries for bots.........

 

cool and it uses a database too for malware detention?

 

i have just try it against malware domain list. the web protection scores perfect 10 everything blocked on the fly..........

 

Sounds like it operates as a local HTTP proxy. Is that correct?
Does it handle https, or does it disengage during 'secure' browsing sessions?

 

I'm curious, but in no rush to install this (would need to sort out chaining it inline along with proxomitron and/or Fiddler).

If you're game, please check it against "freshly listed" sites
( as listed at malwaredomains.com )

 

I used Trend Micro IS Pro before. The database of Trend Micro is so poor. Yet this web protection module, which is only available in the pro version of the IS, blocks many dangerous web pages before they load. I wanted to find it as a separate program but wasn't able to. So thank you so so much for informing.

By the way, I tested it with new malware and rogue threat links on Malwarebtes' Forums and it blocked almost all of them. For me, this is better than any web protection add-on. And it's free. This will build a pretty good combination with Antivir Free.

Thanks again.

 

It is listed under "Free Tools" yet according to the FAQs it times out.

Why is SysClean not listed in Clean-up Tools?

 

That's bad. And I couldn't find a link where to buy, so I guess it's not sold separately either. We've just a 90-day trial.

 

is not a trial is in free tools list............ i have installed and noware says something about trial or days remaining....

 

According to the website, it is also used in TrendProtect which is an add-on to IE. Not available for FF though. TrendProtect does not time out.

I'll stay with AVG LinkScanner or WOT

 

Trend Micro Web Protection works browser-free, not like most common add-ons. I use Opera and it blocks dangerous web pages.

 

@simisg
Thanks for the clarification. They should update their site then.

@tgell
Thanks for pointing out TrendProtect. It seems similar to SiteAdvisor. They should have listed it in Free Tools also. According to the FAQs it doesn't block unsafe sites. You'll only get warned of unsafe sites in Google/MSN/Yahoo searches. So I presume, you can still access a malware site when entered directly into the address bar, accidentally clicking a link in a search/site or thru redirection? Nice to have another content filter though. But I hope they just combine TrendProtect and Web Protection into one (free) product.

EDIT: The FAQs section doesn't specify if TrendProtect blocks other categories apart from unsafe. Well if it just warns you also for the other categories wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a content filter (to block)?

 

trend micro web protection add on is superior than others because works with all browsers ,is also antibot shield and it works with some proxy stops all threats on the fly like network shield on avast...... in my tests scores perfect ten

 

it sounds like a good prevention measure

 

It's superior but not free ...

 

@thanatos_theos

Good point. The Web protection add-on does block sites and Trendprotect only warns you of a bad site. Even the download page for Web-protection add-on lists it as a 90 day trial.

I tried the web protection add on and it was a pain. I had several tabs open and eventually opened a "bad" rated page. The Trend Micro add on essentially stopped my browser from doing anything at that point and all pages had to be closed.

 

@acr1965
What browser? Did Web Protection block the site? Is it an exploit site? It's possible the browser hanged because of the site (not blocked by Web Protection).

 

Does not work on 64bits

 

Anyone have any idea how to report webaddresses that should be blocked and are not.

I am quite impressed with the tool.

Cheers

I am pretty sure it was IE7. I don't believe the site was anymore than one which was classified as bad, not necessarily one with active malicious content. I would have to stop my entire browsing session with all opened tabs when an alert popped up from TM. That happened a couple times and I uninstalled.
