Re: Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

Kaspersky internet security and bitdefender are other two options I have but both are paid.

I had created a thread on Bitdefender AV for a groupby...interested folks can join that

Re: Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

Installed 360.. Avira and bitdefender virus engines are on...

Now need help with others security softwares...
Firewall, Anti malware, Anti keylogger, Anti Spyware, etc etc.. suggest some..

 

[whitestar_999]

firewall---Tinywall
360 with avira & bitdefender is more than enough,no other software required unless you like to actively search for viruses/malware.

None required.


Just keep doing regular cleanup using ccleaner and you'll be good to go.

Did you install 3 different av's?

 

[TheSloth]

no. Total 360 security antivirus provides Avira and Bit Defender's engines for the virus scans. "Total 360 security" is the name of a single application.

Which firewall is the least resource intensive and therefore suitable for older machines having 2gb of ram or less?

Nope.. 360 security use Avira and bitdefender virus engine..

Tinywall..

 

[quicky008]

i downloaded and installed tinywall but the problem is it automatically blocks most applications by default and unlike other firewalls such as comodo or zonealarm it doesn't display the list of programs that it has blocked or shows any popup alerts for them either.On my system it has blocked my av program(avast)and so its auto-update feature is not working unless the firewall is disabled completely.I tried adding avast service,ashUpd.exe & avastui.exe as exceptions but it was of no use.

Can anyone tell me what should i do to restore avast's internet access priviledges so that its vital functions like auto update can work properly?

 

[whitestar_999]

See if it works:

Avast update is blocked by Windows Firewall :

You've to allow the following: AvastUI.exe, instup.exe, AvastSvc.exe and AvastEmUpdate.exe

 

[quicky008]

^Thanks,its finally working now.Is there any way to view the list of apps that have been blocked by tinywall like in other conventional firewall programs?

[whitestar_999]

By default,tinywall blocks everything.So instead of viewing list of apps blocked,you have to see list of apps not blocked(aka whitelist/exceptions). Everything outside of whitelist/exceptions is blocked.

Re: Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

Ok. But why not use bitdefender engine in 360???
Also other than 360 total security, which software to install?
Like firewall, anti malware, Anti Spyware, Anti keylogger etc etc??

Bitdefender uses too much RAM.for firewall you can use comodo firewall but switch off HIPS use auto sandbox only.

8MB isn't much. Atleast in my case.
