Hi Bill,

And when your time is up you should know of this is the reason that you
are in a dark place where you have to work without any MS programs! ;)

I've used prevx in the distant past, long before it became widely known. I
have every respect for the developer, but no product of this sort is
perfect.

I continue to play with Prevx on a couple of machines. I find it
fascinating, and at the same time disappointing. The same can be said of
Aura and Helios, yet I think that they all have possibilities.

I would give Prevx and Aura more credit, if they were among the developers
to address Vista. Sadly, they do not as yet. I suspect that I will be
condemned to using CA on my ViIsta platforms for the near term.
 
Hi Plun,

Test the 2007 version at the moment, the Venus Spytrap is integrated
now, works great! ;)

Hi

I am "trapped" in 2006 version for XP and tests different engines for
TMs PUG group.... ;) But thats OK to help them and us with a better
product. Cooming engine for ver 2007....

Nevertheless it´s great that TM now includes the Venus trap within
PC Cillin, maybe "state of the art" just now for
spywaredetection/removal.
TM seems to have worked really hard with definitions.

PC Cillin works great with Vista, "nema problema....", Beta 2 OK and TM
also updated it for ver 5472...

regards
plun
 
amen to that!

If you would kindly extracted your narrow mind from your broad posterior
for
a few moments, you would realize that anti-threat detection (of all sorts)
is
not an exact science. EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT on the market misses a few
things
from time to time. Check Virus Total for this week's statistics.

Whereas I have been testing Prevx on a couple of systems for the past two
months, I am not extoling its virtues as the solution to the world's
problems. I like it because it provides real-time insight to applications
being run. (I genuinely enjoy the "noise". It lowers paranoia. Most
will
not like being "bothered".)

Sofar Prevx looks quite promising, but I still have ewido and
Defender/OneCare installed as co-resident threat scans on most of my
production systems. I also hold a-squared, NOD32, BitDefender, Kaspersky,
and others in high regard and have expereince with each in various
environments -- all good.

One vendor that has fallen from grace -- MY grace anyway -- is Symantec.
I
express my bias often and loudly on this matter.

My personal "solution" is that I would NEVER depend on a single
"solution".
I run multiple resident anti-threat tools and conduct daily on-line threat
scans using a number of different tools from the Internet Security page in
my
sig.

then why are you here? if you are not using WD this is not the newsgroup
you should belong to.
One spyware program just doesn't cut it in this world we live in today
unless you have lots of money and can buy a computer every couple of months.
