• HIPS and FW plus Process Explorer

  flemur13013October 20, 2011

  Pros

  Interesting, apparently very complete information: kernel, network, autostart list/editor, registry editor, hooks with search/edit/ and undo and its own Process Explorer. Perfect for nerds. It found refs to .sys files from a keylogger that many other anti-malware pgms missed (the files themselves were gone). All shows clean in scans by others.

  Cons

  Sometimes hangs (do "help"!)and can't kill it easily: program seems complete but the installer/packaging isn't. Makes a randomly named (can diable this) .sys file that prevents some boot programs from running (e.g. autocheck), along with preventing boot shenanigans - not much of a problem if you know about it! (stop MD from running at boot and delete/rename the file - MD will list it under Kernel"). Although it was written by another company (IIRC), google "is 360.cn evil" !

  Summary

  The only real downside is the 360.cn connection - maybe.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Oct 20, 2011<p/>Installation and uninstallation were NO problem - you shouldn't run more than one program of this type at the same time.

• RED FLAG ALERT!

  sharleeaMarch 10, 2009

  Pros

  There are no pros!

  Cons

  It made 10 x's moire problems than I originally started with. Makes what I had wrong look like nothing was wrong. I had to download something to get rid of it.

  Summary

  Windows security center pops up constantly now. It seems to have replicated itself. When I try to uninstall it it refuses to even start. When I go to it through my computer there is a file that increases with size every time I try and delete it. It is a nightmare....and I thought I had problems before - yeah, right. I was and still may even reformat my harddrive because of all the problems it has created. I hate to reformat, especially since I did it back in Sept. of last year, so you know it has to be real bad. I don't want to loose all my stuff on my harddrive, but it is way better than putting up with this poop (I'm trying to keep it decent!)
