Publisher's Description
From PC Tools:
Traditional antivirus solutions cannot protect you until after they have discovered a new threat and produced a signature to counter it. ThreatFire does not rely on signatures, but instead provides behavior-based protection. It is designed to be used alongside your existing antivirus software and it fills the gap in protection between your antivirus signature updates. ThreatFire protects you against major security threats including viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits and even some spyware. Its advanced ActiveDefense technology intelligently analyzes the behavior of processes and programs on a system and immediately halts any malicious action. It continuously monitors all activities on your PC at a very low system level and uses a proprietary combination of analytics, risk algorithms, program histories and tolerance thresholds to identify and shut down threats so you are always protected, no matter how new the threat. ThreatFire is easy to use, instantly effective, and very light on system resources.
What's new in this version:
ThreatFire 4.7 reduces confusion over threat response by significantly minimizing both the number and the type of alerts that require you to make a decision. This is made possible using the new behavior profiling and in-the-cloud techniques. It also incorporates patent-pending technology to provide greater accuracy in detecting real threats and a greater ability to avoid classifying legitimate programs as potentially malicious (false positives). ThreatFire 4.7 contains tracker technology to m... See all new features

"I think it works"
Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.11
Pros
It slows nothing down! Works well with others.
Cons
Can't tell if it's really working.
Summary
I have Ad-Aware's spyware/anti-virus software in place and ThreatFire Antivirus running along side as a backstop. You can hardly notice them, except for the initial system scan when the compute starts each day and nothing has got by them.

"Its a great behavior blocker to along your antivirus."
Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.11
Pros
This is a great program to go with your antivirus. Now this is not an antivirus this is a behavior blocker. It does not need signatures like antiviruses. It finds threats by its behavior.
Cons
May ask you questions but its normal.
Summary
Its a great program. People are rating this program low because it does not detect threats when you scan your system with threatfire. Threatfire is to go along your antivirus so don't use it to find threats on your computer.

"Not what I expected or wanted! I wanted virus protction"
Version: ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition 4.7.0.11
Pros
Can't really say what I liked about it, as I don't know what it did for me. I thought I was downloading Anti-Virus software, but it is not.
It is packaged with another free trial anti-virus software, that I would not download if it were free foreverCons
I'm sure it's useful, and cool But not cool to decieve a person into thinking they are getting something that they are not
THIS IS NOT ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE !
AND SOILENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
And Clockwork Orange is... Hell, I have no idea what it is!Summary
Shootz! Now they give me 5000 characters to say what I like or dislike, instead of only 250.
What I like is for you to give me all the space I need to start off with, not at the end, cause I'm all done talking now, you go find another survey putz!!!
(Cool... exactly 250 characters above.)
