New Freeware - Behaviour Based Anti-Malware From PC Tools

[anandk]

ThreatFire is a NEW Behaviour Based Anti-Malware From PC Tools, which offers definatin-less, realt-time protection. It claims to offer comprehensive protection against viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, rootkits, keyloggers & buffer overflows. Its a 14KB beta download. The shift these days is towards behavior-based protection...

When minimized and working, my Vista's Task Manager showed 1.3MB and its TFService showed 2.9KB memory usage.

do you all think it will work better than others.

Thanks anand. A 14KB download and a MB footprint. Anybody can give it a try.

The future is towards behavior-based protection (behavior-based protection is different from heuristics; a technique that looks for suspicious patterns in executable code) Prevx was the first in this category. CyberHawk was the 1st Vista compatible behavior-based protection but now with ThreatFire, things are moving towards that direction. SandBoxie and DefenseWall and other which work with a similar concept. Now even Panda Tru-prevent ZA, etc have incorporated them in their suites.

We still prefer defination based protection, due to our mind set. Even i use nod32. i merely posted it here those who may want to try it to see what the possible future in internet defenses may look like

its not 14 kb but 14 MB download

whatever, the idea it uses is really futureproof

But this software made my computer shutdown time to increase by 3-4 minutes, which is a lot. So, don't download
