Scanning and cleaning of the Windows registry;
Scans: archives (ZIP, RAR, ARJ, Microsoft CAB, InstallShield CAB) and mailbases (Outlook Express, TheBat!, PlainMain, e.t.c.).
We tested Digital Patrol from NictaTech Software. The scan process is fast consider the deep scanning mode. Digital Patrol caught in the past versions by our tests some false positives (67 from 100 f/p samples). The real virus detection rate is high.
After this update, the detection ratio beats many other AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiTrojan and AntiKeylogger Programs in real virus threads protection by a very low false positive detection rate!
We are very impressed!
False positive and new samples can be submitted here.
Digital Patrol works also with 64 bit Windows OS include Windows 7 64-bit. Moreover it's compatible with older Windows Versions such as Windows 95.
The user interface is easy to operate and the engine provides a high level of protection. A 60 Day free Trial Test version can be downloaded here as offline and online installer (most recent version).
Multilanguage support allows to change the program GUI from English to Russian, Ukrainian or German.
Outpost Security Suite Pro is a combination of anti-virus and anti-Trojan capabilities of the professional firewall in a security suite, 360-degree protection from external malicious programs, spam intrusion, so you can easily use the network. Outpost Firewall includes IP/Domain block list import/export features, Adblocker and many more...
TrustPort Antivirus is an outstanding Protection. Under a nice and very advanced Multilingual User Interface you found all options to configure Multiple Scan Engines for On-Demand and On-Access Scan. It is likely if Argon is enabled that the false positive detection rate grow high as Xenon already detect all our latest samples plus some were F/P's.
TrustPort offers easy operations. With a few clicks you can exclude files, access the Quarantine and all program features.
It is one of the most advanced Antivirus programs because TrustPort gives the user the most possible variety to config the protection on your PC, USB Stick, Scan settings, Update Settings even the design can be customized with Themes.
An computer savvy will highly regard TrustPort Products. An not so advanced PC user who likes less options but a more modern design on the desktop may be not so high rated this AV. On the other hand WindowsBlinds (.wba) Themes can be directly imported and used under Advanced Settings.
The more engines you enable, the higher the system load but you can select between 2 most popular AV engines or enable both of them.
We found it very positive that a License for a higher Product for example TrustPort Total Protection 2012 covers also TrustPort Antivirus 2012 without Firewall and the USB Antivirus 2012 Version.

We take our hands on the new Bitdefender Antivirus 2012 Plus and installed the 64 bit Version on Windows 7.
The Download Files of the possible final version are under a subfolder 'intern' to found.
BitDefender 2012 installed fast in a matter of a few minutes.
A system restart is not required.
After a system scan all virus samples were detected but also some false positives shown up incl. Nirsoft Programs and others, oldexe packers inclusive.
Some productivity software applications refused to work if Bitdefender 2012 is installed which is not so nice! More Application compatibility errors by the 'intern' download build 15.0.27.305 by many programs which seems to be worse as in Bitdefender 2011.
IncrediFlash with which we create Product Presentations did not more work next to some known and reported programs (non of them are security or system tweaking/modification related). We reinstalled without success Bitdefender 2012 and IncrediFlash XTreme, tested the same combination on a complete fresh Windows 7 64bit installation but unfortunately we were unable to create, with Bitdefender 2012 on the system installed, the animated product show below.
Bitdefenders excellent virus signature database is also to found in F-Secure, G-Data and Bullguard. We will review this AV's later. Auslogics Antivirus can be downloaded under the OEM folder and is the same in a rebranded user interface.
Conclusion:
Bitdefender is a great Antivirus in a nice Design. The detection engine is outstanding. Compaired to most other AV's the false positive detection rate is low. Application incompatibility, if the AV is installed, should not be the price of a good protection.

The days are gone when we needed only an AntiVirus to install and be protected from all danger out there to archive a maximum of security.
Malwares includes: viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, spywares and so forth. They are constantly evolving and so it becomes increasingly more and more difficult to detect and remove them.
To protect from such kind of malwares and security threats we have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or more famously known as MBAM. MBAM is one of the most effective, powerful and sophisticated antimalware application. It being lightweight and easy-to-use makes it the top among its competitors.
To protect from such kind of malwares and security threats we have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or more famously known as MBAM. MBAM is one of the most effective, powerful and sophisticated antimalware application. It being lightweight and easy-to-use makes it the top among its competitors.
It is quite easy to setup and use, the settings looks quite simple too. It has few horizontal tabs for easy navigation. The interface has nothing complicated in it and even novice users would quite easily operate it.
It has 3 scan types – Quick scan, Full scan and Flash scan. A quick scan will scan the system for malicious files, the full scan will thoroughly scans all the drives and the flash scan will analyze the memory and autorun objects.
Just for testing purpose I did a quick scan on my system. It took around 2 mins and as expected it didn't find anything malicious. It was extremely fast and accurate. It keeps all the scan details on log files. You can find all the log files under the Logs tab.
Malwaresbytes Anti-Malware comes in 2 flavors FREE and PRO. The Difference between FREE and PRO is given below.
The Pro version has a realtime protection module, automatic site protection and scanner and updater scheduler.
My Verdict:
Pros:
Effective and efficient malware detection and removal.
3 types of scan makes it a versatile antimalware application.
Regular updates to give complete and up-to-date protection.
Compatible with other security suits,
Automatic malicious site protection.
Cons:
Dull looking GUI gives it a really unimpressive looks.
Cannot detect/remove tracking cookies.
The system boot up time slight increased with realtime protection enabled
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is one of the most powerful antimalwares currently available. It has a high detection and removal rate. It is extremely effective. It can not only recover an affected pc but also protect it from malwares or viruses with its realtime protection. It’s easy to use interface and uncomplicated nature adds up to its advantage. So I’ll certainly recommend to each and every user.

Buster Sandbox Analyzer is a tool that has been designed to analyze the behaviour of processes and the changes made to system and then evaluate if they are malware suspicious.
The changes made to system can be of several types: file system changes, registry changes and port changes.
A file system change happens when a file is created, deleted or modified. Depending of what type of file has been created (executable, library, javascript, batch, etc) and where was created (what folder) we will be able to get valuable information.
Registry changes are those changes made to Windows registry. In this case we will be able to get valuable information from the modified value keys and the new created or deleted registry keys.
Port changes are produced when a connection is done outside, to other computers, or a port is opened locally and this port starts listening for incoming connections.
From all these changes we will obtain the necessary information to evaluate the "risk" of some of the actions taken by sandboxed applications.
Watching all these operations in an easy and safe manner is possible thanks to Sandboxie (http://sandboxie.com), an excellent tool created by Ronen Tzur.
Even if Buster Sandbox Analyzer's main goal is to evaluate if sandboxed processes have a malware behaviour, the tool can be used also to simply obtain a list of changes made to system, so if you install a software you will know exactly what installs and where.
Additionally apart of system changes we can consider other actions as malware suspicious: keyboard logging, end the Windows session, load a driver, start a service, connect to Internet, etc.
All the above operations can be considered as not malicious but if they are performed when it's not expected, that's something we must take in consideration. Therefore it's not only important to consider what actions are performed. It's also important to consider if it's reasonable certain actions are performed.
Hitman Pro 3 scans your PC of suspicious Virus threats and uploads the files found by scanning to Scan Cloud. The files will be online scanned with 5 (6) engines.
In Version Hitman Pro 3.5 that's:
Ikarus, Dr. Web, Emisoft, Prevx and G-Data (includes Avast and BitDefender).
We went deep in the underground in VX forums and others where new Viris get created and collected a few samples. Sure you can for testing purpose search on malwaredomainlist.com but there might be almost all Antivirus researchers and add in realtime new viri, tojans,... to the AV Products signature database updates already.
If you have a good AV installed there will be not much left to test it.
In real environment, searching on P2P networks such as eMule search brings as well some new samples to the daylight where your AV may fail to protect you from real threats.
On the test PC is Norton AV installed (the false positive detection by Norton is much higher as by Bitdefender) which did clean most of the samples but a few where left. Here comes Hitman Pro and detect the remaining viruses downloaded on the PC.
To produce False Positive its enough to cheat most AV's by using executable packers where the AV's can not unpack the compressed binaries to scan inside and list all files packed with it as virus. To name it, pack files with XComp/Xpack, nsPack, RL!Pack, FSG, kkrunchy,... By these and more executable packers compressed files, especially if you change 2 or 3 bytes in the PE header, all AV's give up and show you a Virus (false positive) unless you unpack the files manually (OllyDbg or alike).
Hitman Pro alert if a Authenticode digital signatures by a file is invalid and modified (Patched files).
By default if no Virus string is detected you see the option to 'ignore' in the results.
10 license keys for Hitman Pro (1 year) are available for our readers.
