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.
very strong proactive protection

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!)
