Notes

Biohazard sign In the free version only malware detection. Removal included in the paid version.


64-bit support included.


# My current choices for real-time protection

Vista laptop:

  • LUA
  • Sandboxie Pro
  • F-secure client security
  • Prevx free
  • TweakUAC

XP desktop:

  • Defencewall personal firewall
  • Prevx with SafeOnline
  • Winpatrol Plus

♦ Other noteworthy products

  • WoT
  • Adblock Plus
  • Virustotal uploader
  • Secunia software inspector
  • CS lite
  • Process tamer
  • Mozy
  • Teracopy

Malware detection/removal tools

  • Hitman Pro
  • Malwarebytes antimalware
  • Avira boot cd
  • Prevx free

My banking advice

Use one LUA for ALL everyday use and make another LUA which is used ONLY for banking. The point is, that if the everyday LUA is infected, the infection is limited to that account. (99.99% safety guaranteed. This of course requires, that you are not yet infected, and don't install malware with adminstrative rights in the future.)


Direct link forbidden

Due to site politics direct links to executable files and non-green WOT-sites are forbidden. In such cases replace [dot] with . and the link will work.


Prisoners on remand (might be somewhat useful, but not recommended)

RemoveIT Pro (too many dangerous false positives)
Multi-AV Scanning Tool (some reports of crippling the system)
Emco Malware destroyer (low detection rate)
Replace UAC (This company makes also a rogue called True Sword)
Winpooch (not compatible with XP SP3)
WIPS (PoC-software, very demanding)


Doing time in jail (not recommended)

NoAdware (rogue)
IObit Security 360, IObit Advanced SystemCare Free, IObit Uninstaller, IObit Smart Defrag (probable MBAM database theft)
