IObit Security 360 Beta Released

i think its a fairly obvious answer since u know about A2, id assume it wuld be for the same reason A2 runs a process...

 

And the answer is ....? considering that MalwareBytes and SuperAntispyware have figured out how to run an on-demand scanner without having a process running all the time.

 

well according to A2 its so it can run under a LUA (someone can confirm?) and/or so it can run if the system is infected (again can someone confirm?)

 

That is correct. It is so that Security 360 can run with the system's rights. This allows it to run even when you are not an administrator.

 

is there a command line parameters for updating?

 

Not that I know of.

 

reason being is you could create a batch file with the command line to be able to use task manager .

 

Doing some test right now and I'm pretty much impressed. It deteceted malware which even Prevx, Kaspersky, Norton and Avira couldn't find

 

it sounds very interesting!!!!!!!

 

It sure is. You know I'm a Kaspersky addict but this was really impressive. And it not only found one file but 36 leftovers

 

Glad to hear it We are finding a lot of 'new' malware at the moment so keep updating regularly to ensure you are fully protected

 

is it a antivirus or antispyware program or both?

 

It is a bit of both. It is not dedicated to anyone type of virus or spyware. It is an all round antimalware (as the name 360 refers to), which is intended to detect the stuff that antivirus' or antispywares miss.

It is not a stand-alone, and it needs to be used in conjunction with an antivirus and antispyware.

 

ah,i see maybe some thing like MBAM

 

Yes, something like MBAM

 

coolthanks may give it a try

 

I will

 

Tested it against some malware. On downloading it found nothing but when scanning it did find new malware. Is this the way it should work or is this because I have the free version installed?

 

Still too buggy for me. Program caused my OS (XP PRO/SP3) to crash after restart using two of the program's clean functions.

 

how would IOBit 360 compare to like Mamutu? i know IOBit has a behavior monitor of some sort and was wondering if its up at the same level of full fledged BB's?

 

I had it alongside ThreatFire and Vipre and my system would become unstable at times. Not sure if it was the combination or IObit itself, so I can't say for sure. Removed IObit and all is running fine again. Maybe TF and IObit don't play well together...not sure.

 

that could be it, ive found TF to be a bit picky. but running just an AV and IOBit it worked perfectly for me, no bugs.

 

I have found TF to be getting fussy also. Io Bit seems to run with everything for me.

 

Yeah, just for fun I've removed TF temporarily and I'm trying IObit alone alongside Vipre right now.

 

I have Vista with UAC and PC Tools firewall version 6 with "Enhanced Security Verification" enabled. Would there be a lot over overlap here if I used Iobit 360?
