I was recommended by a friend to install Threats Fire together with avast! Free, as supplement.
Did it, but avast say that there was some root kit -
And I believe it was because of installing Threats Fire, as it happened just after.
And the PC got quite “funny”.
I have un-installed Threats Fire again.
With a better pc …
So is avast and threats fire not a good combination, or what ?
Is it a known problem?
Or is it just me, who was unlucky?
Yeah threatfire wont get along with avast’s behaviour shield so it’s not recommended, best to install malwarebytes for secondary scanning, update it first then run a weekly scan just to check thing’s are ok.
There is a paid version with realtime scanning if you wish to buy but not really necessary.
Threatfire has a BB. Avast 6 has a BB. So the two together is not necessary.
ThreatFire enter in a very slow development route.
Problem with some applications (like Firefox addons) made me give up on it.
Besides, avast has a behavior shield now and it’s being improved version after version.
The need for Threatfire is a thing of the past. PC Tools actually stopped releasing new versions over a year ago. They now have a newer version but still has issues. Most modern day antiviruses have either a built in BB or HIPS. So the need for Threatfire is history. Maybe people running Avira or NOD32 will gain from it but products like Avast,AVG,Norton and Kaspersky all have a BB built in. CAV uses D+.
Thank you to you all !
