a quick question for emisoft user, does it have many false positive?
I read some review and they all said its very good at detection but suffer from many false positive and also so so removal capability.

ps: I'm not trying to destroy emisoft reputation, I ask because I really interested to buy it

 

I have had very few false positives. I used the free version for maybe two years and now the paid version for around six months.

 

ROUTER: Linksys WRT54GS / Tomato / WPA2/ Norton DNS. Norton DNS has helped my mother avoid some BS. She is rocking KIS (Current version) but once again, nothing detects everything.


My computer:
WIN 7 64BIT:

Real-time:
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security (Super Scan, Scan When Reading and Writing, and added Scanning of Network Files.)
ForceField On

On-Demand:
A-Squared (On USB drive)
SuperAntiSpyware

Browsers:
FireFox: NoScript, WOT,ForecastFox, FoxyTunes, Fire FTP, DownThemAll, ChatZilla, BetterPrivacy
Chrome
Opera

Other:

Panda USB vaccine

Any suggestions for my setup? I don't browse that many "risky" sites..... Just every now and then.

Trying out clear cloud DNS.
I didn't realize they had a node in boston. How lucky for me!

 

I think you're gonna like it.
I noticed a small improvement in speed when I switched from NortonDNS to ClearCloud... one of those enhancements that are hard to document, but you feel the difference anyway?

 

Well so far I've used it on a few of my sites and its about the same as norton DNS. I'll keep using it for a few days and check back in.

 

Windows XP Pro
LUA & SRP
DEP on for all programs
Autoruns, secunia PSI, black viper services tweaks
Norton DNS
Linksys router + Windows Firewall (exceptions not allowed)
Secunia PSI, use Sumatra for PDF's (no acrobat reader)

Emsisoft Emergency Kit for on demand scans
Hitman Pro for on demand scans
Occasionally use virustotal.com for a 2nd/3rd opinion

Opinions?

 

Just try lol

 

I'll do a restore since my PC is getting a bit clunky for some reason

 

Removed Prevx free
Added Panda Cloud Pro

 

You broke it as usually

 

Wasn't my fault

 

brought avira back to my 64 bit win 7 system paired it with PFW

 

Damn, restored and still can't install a game i used to (I've never tried it on x64, it seems that i just cant')

 

ESET NOD32 AV
Zemana AntiLogger

 

restore from a clean state you mean?

 

I restored to a clean state (Just after reformatting, with basic things uch as browser etc.)

 

ah did u use acronis? I hope not

 

Hahaha yeah, it's been flawless with Acronis (I've done a dozen recovers already)
It's more like an OS issue

 

Downloading KIS
Will report back

 

After a week with no realtime av I'd like to report that it has been a pleasent experiance so far!
My 2011 setup is as follows...

Win 7 x86 Home Premium
DefenseWall Firewall
OA Premium w/webshield off "once DWF v3.10 is released"
HMP + MBAM "occasional scans"
Paragon System Backup 2010 "daily"

DefenseWall is a definate keeper! Plus Ilya is fast to respond to my emails!

 

Running KIS trial.

Will try to run it a few weeks if i manage not to mess it up

 

Owh please share if its heavier (or lighter) compared to emsisoft . I'm really interested in that


my own trial with emsisoft cmd is very nice, but the scan does take to long, I hope the new release will be blazing fast
