WinPatrol WAR (formerly WinAntiRansom)

Sorry, about that....but, if you right click on the image, then open in a new tab, it will come up trumps.

 

Can I use this in place of a antivirus? is it similar to Malwarebytes 3.0
I'm never sure about this type of program

 

Thank you for the answer

 

This is useful. Please see attached.

what does your access history show?

 

Actually, this still isn't clear. You could also describe it as a behavior blocker that uses AI, but nobody knows how it exactly works. But good to see that the lifetime license is back, I'm sure it will boost sales.

 

So will WinAntiRansom be better than VS (free) in this sense? Or you need both to do a better job?

Thanks

 

I think if you run it in legacy whitelisting mode it just asks you whenever you run a file that's not in their own database. Otherwise they're similar but use different determinations of what could be malicious. I'd pick one instead of running both tbh.

 

I thought the expression was, 'no dice'.

 

I also had problems when I first tried it, and had to restore an image, but that was some time ago. Planning to try it again on my secondary laptop.

Edit: But I already have VS there. Might be an overlap, but then WAR is meant to be specifically targeting ransomware (though some, including cruelsister would say it is primarily an anti-exe also).

 

Just downloaded the latest version, and installed over the top:

 

So which is a better product and why?

Thanks

 

Would you guys be interested in this?

Like @SHvFl said A vs B is and I think is not allowed here best advise is to try it for your self then decide...

 

Agreed but when I took a look at it, it didn't seem that smart to me.

Apologies SHvFI I missed the quotes. Seems we are on the same wavelength.

 

Sent my email to Ruiware to get 30-day free trial, around 15 min. ago. Next I received two email with these subjects:

Never got my trial key as they offered.

 

WinPatrol WAR (formerly WinAntiRansom) v 2016.12.626 not let to me to run ESET Banking & Payment protection (browser). All programs of ESET Smart Security is whitelist. Allow By Signature on too. And it do not run. What can I do?

 

here is one i never saw before. has malwarebytes changed their tray icon exe?

 

got two preemptive strikes warning about WAR files lol

 

If it detects "Malware-like action", it is protecting you. Even if it's the installer from WAR

 

Hello, been a year that a I don't install this software, someone can tell me if WAR has auto-update of the program? And if I set 0 for the prompt it will block it or ir will be quarantined?

 

Is WAR a good alternative for AppGuard ?

As the "new" AG (5.x) only is subscription based and WAR has Lifetime License (I need 3) available at the moment.

Thx

Edit: I run this in combination with EAM, NVTERP and Sandboxie.

 

u have more than enough protection with eam, nvterp and sandboxie.. eam and sandboxie is even enough or only sandboxie with windows defender. why so much overkill?.. thats pure paranoya.
