Twister Antivirus

Seems good product. Question for all and who have tested it with their malware lists.

because Twister also detects Spyware, Adware, Keyloggers or so they say on their website, therefore wouldn't this make Twister better at detecting a wider range of areas than Antivir seen how Antivir doesn't really scan for keyloggers?
or does it?

 

Thanks for your advisement, sure we will try to improve the disinfection ablity in the future version.

We will try to fix this problem in the next version, thank you very much.

Sure, the Virus Infection Alert and the Virus Immunity is advanced option, it surely can block most infective virus includes known and unknown, but the side-effect is false positive, so, we do not recommend it to normal user except you have very good skill to operate the computer and you have highest security requirement. Usually the default setting is enough based on its high detection rate and FDDS's unknown dectection.

Just wanted to throw my experience with Twister in. It has been great so far (so much so that I just purchased it). I'm running it on WIN2K alongside Look'n'Stop and I have had no problems whatsoever with it. I don't horde any malware so I can't give any results. I can only confirm that it is very light.

Right now the 3 processes are as follows (after 3 hours uptime): Twister: 4,440K, FilMsg: 4,908K, looknstop: 3,292K.

 

Your English is fine for us to understand. I am sure the members here are eager to help you too. Keep us in touch and welcome to Wilders where consumers and experts lurk around for security information and humor in between. I am sure you will notice this.

 

They should give you a raise in pay!

 

Dear Filesclab,

Your company claims that Twister is for Vista, but I have tried to install it and it isn't (fully). I use Vista 64 bit and Twister is not able to install on 64 bit. So please change the text on your website!

 

@ Filseclab

I will agree with previous posters that an english forum would be a very welcome move and also that your english is more than adeguate to make you understand.

For an english forum, since you don't have much spare time, your best bet would probably be to find some Chinese friends to use as moderators that speak decent english too, so that they can comunicate easily bothways with you and the posters. Even better if they know much about security. You could add some non Chinese moderators that have good experience with antivirus and malware that can also speak english. I am sure you will find volunteers even from this forum. The mods could sum up some issues that they couldn't handle and report them to you in a more efficient way.

Speaking for myself, i am neither security expert nor is english my native language, but i have no problem understanding what you say and i would certainly visit a hypothetical Twister forum, since i bought a license and wouldn't mind helping for simple issues other posters, although i am not adeguate to offer serious help.

I think a forum is a must-have nowdays for any security product. It's is also a good way for pubblicity.

Speaking of which, you should give a look at this, since AVG8 and McAfee Site Advisor flag your site as dangerous:

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20540289-Twister

Which is bad pubblicity and scares people away. You should ask them to fix these things.

Am I allowed to post pictures that I find in threads of wilders on other forums?
Sorry for the off topic!

Great product, Haven't seen anything with this much power before.

 

This thread made me really curious with the product ... am going to try it.
Thanks for everyone who has tried and posted their experienced.

 

It's been a couple of weeks for me, and Twister is running great on Windows Sever 2008 (desktop OS). No blue screens, no slowdowns, no FP's. And personally I love the configuration options: the variety, flexibility, and pertinence is the best that I can remember.

 

Reading others' opinions and after running it for some days now, i get more and more the feeling that these were the best spent 25 euros i have ever given for a software. Even more, considering the type of license they currently give... and may not give anymore in the future.

Ah, another one for the low resources club. I think it is rather obvious that the folks that have it running at over 30MB ,must be running some other application that causes Twister to do a lot of scanning.

 

Just purchased Twister, my computer is running like a formula 1 car.And at this price €24 for a life time licence, you just can't say no.

That's exactly why i bought it too. I have a KAV license too, but don't use it because it's much heavier. Normally i used AVG7 , but version 8 is heavier. I turned to Avast with only standard shield on, which was as light and free as i could find and i was thinking of trying Dr. Web, having a reputation for being light, when i read this thread for Twister and tried it.

Doesn't it feel GREAT when your AV is actually letting your PC's resources free for you to use in other stuff, rather than running your PC for your AV? I don't trust AVs much, so why running a resource hog, when Returnil is obviously my best defence right now?

Oh yes. Don't you love it reading "unlimited" on the screen? It sort of makes you feel "free". No worries to renew license , no new keys, no nagging emails "renew now!"...

It is also a sort of investment. It is now my own interest that this AV becomes known and good. So i am officially a fanboy and will be reccommending it at every chance.

 

May i ask where or how you purchased?If you paid $29.99 in us dollars it should equate to just over £15(19 euros) not £24.Ive just purchased myself through paypal and heres the exchange rate....The exchange rate for this purchase is 1 GBP = 1.92934USD
ellison

Ps...how do you show that euro sign?.I see it on my keboard with a 4 and dollar sign.?

 

The euro sign is ALTgr + e.

I bought it from Shareit (at Twister's site you have the option for Paypal or Shareit). Price was 20,88 euros + 3,97 for VAT. Total 24,85 €

 

Hi ellison,
The same as Fuzzfas, €19 + tax. Altgr + 4.

Ahh that explains it.Still very good value in deed.I wonder if this lifetime licence is a limited thing like outpost was?.I know outpost is still honouring their licences because i have one ,though alas i haven't used outpost for a very long time now.It would be nice if the company rep can answer that one.
ellison

Ps..thanks for the euro tip

 

Well, i see the euro sign is different in some countries, UK being one of them (surprise, surprise).

I guess that Filseclab at some point CAN change its licence policy, just like Agnitum did. But they will have to honour their "old" lifetime licences i would think. Of course nothing can forbid them to start giving after a point 1 or 2 year licences only to the new users. Practically exactly the way that happened with Agnitum. That's another good reason to buy now.

 

There is one thing that i don't like in twister and its this.If a programe wants to run at startup or wants to add a registry entry ,twister warns you and asks you to trust the programe.But then it seems that trusted programs are no longer scanned even by the realtime scanner.Am i missing something or doesnt that seem a bit of a security risk?.Yes i want a trusted list but id still like it scanned by the realtime scanner but not pop up a warning anymore unless it changes somehow.Do other avs work that way too?

ellison

 

Yes, it put it in that list, where it is not scanned any longer. Maybe they did this because often trusted startup programs are security apps and they want to avoid conflicts? I don't know.

There 2 workarounds.

Either deselect the registry protection or simply remove the item from the trusted list. The registry warning i think only happens when you first install an application, so once you have trusted it , you can remove it from the list and it will be scanned again with no more pop ups.

 

Yes the second workaround is best for me and works fine.Thank you for the tip!
ellison

 

You 're welcome. It's what i do too. Generally speaking i haven't seen big problems. I also had FP ,but i just excluded it from the scan and emailed them, so ok. I also had a weird random reboot which at the end i think i have found it was some sort of incompatibility with Zoom player. Because it was happening when watching a movie. It was a memory access violation, prolly caused by the process protection that the Filseclab Rep mentioned. Since i put zoom player in the exclusion list, my system didn't make any weird reboot ever since.
