Has anyone checked out this program? Seems to be a good one for preventing and detecting malware. Check HERE. :slight_smile:

Well, didn’t get any answers from anyone. I am now using the program and it seems to work very well. :slight_smile:

Howdy Neal62,

I normally react to all things you post, because we have interchanged many an interesting link and bit of info. Here I must pass. I have somehow got the impression that this is a paid program, and up till now all that I have installed on my machine is free software, and it still can be done on a Windows XP SP2. Here is a link that declares how this is done, and also interesting for folks with a smaller purse:

Hi Neal,
I also didn’t like the fact that no free version was available.

After some further reading, I also wonder how current their protection is
when the following is still posted on their website???

Lot’s of free software is also available from here:

SafeConnect is a well reviewed softare that identifies unusual behavior that might be malware, as opposed to signature-based like Avast!..Most forums warn against having two anti-virus resident programs at the same time, but the company wrote back to me regarding some concerns and offered this reassurance:

Let me try to answer all of your questions below. This e-mail sounds very familiar and I believe we addressed the PC Magazine forum in the forum, but perhaps not.

  1. There are no known problems with the uninstall. We do leave a registry entry with the previous key to determine if someone is trying to obviate our licensing policy, but the application and related files are all removed.
  2. Trial versions are for 15-days unless they were acquired through one of our partners that may have a longer evaluation period.
  3. Our architecture is totally different than your mentioned products. We are running in the kernel of the OS watching processes, not just one, but combinations that collectively do things that are closely associated with the most dangerous forms of malware including bots, rootkits, Trojans and key loggers. We typically find most of the same threats that an AV or anti-spyware package does, but we do it by observing, not comparing files to a distinctive pattern, fingerprint, definition or signature. Therefore, we don’t conflict and we don’t exhibit malware traits to other AV packages that are looking for specific identifying information.
  4. As far as “not finding” anything, remember, if there is a piece of code that is in the system and it conforms to a specific signature, than other packages will find it. We don’t report malware until it starts executing and then stop it based on the exhibited behavior. This allows us to find both known and unknown threats. Therefore a legacy AV or anti-spyware program will find all the known ones with signatures, but they won’t find new ones for which a signature hasn’t been developed. We will find them because we don’t care about the signature, we care about how it operates when it starts executing.

I hope this clarifies your questions.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I doubt ArtL7 is requesting help but putting the point that SafeConnect is safe to use with avast as per the companies reply to him that he has posted.
