"Security Essentials 2010" Fake Antivirus

[Ashwin]

Ashwin,
After Avinash gifted me MBAM pro,I immediately installed it and found it extremely helpful.No clue if it has HIPS ability or not,but good news it does block malicious IP ,definitely sure about it.I definitely will check out Browser Defender and spyware blaster as you say,WOT is good but no protection

Trust me friend many say you need only a dedicated Internet security along with secondary scanner,i.e. MBAM pro[first choice] or/and SAS pro.

BTW I wish you all the best for Wilderssecurity forum giveaway,hope you win MBAM Pro since the license is for lifetime

Thanks for the wishes Vivek , winning that wont be easy with a hundred thousand participants

I already have a legal license of SAS pro on one of my PCs, bought it last month.
I wanted to buy Spyware doctor, but my friend insisted that we buy SAS since it has a lifetime license.
SAS pro doesnt block IPs, but is excellent at removing spyware and provides real time protection.
I recently upgraded the current pro version to the latest beta version 4.90.1018 :-)

Im looking for MBAM for my other PC,.
Although it is a bit more expensive than SAS, MBAM costs 1200rs.
SAS pro costs 9.95 $, or approximatley 500 rs for us.
Due to recent Paypal confusion in India, i asked my friend's brother in the US to buy it and send the license to my email.
I paid my friend in cash :-)

I did a small research on MBAM and found people complaining about IP blocking.
It blocks GAOD.com and many legal sites. Can you confirm this? Just visit GAOTD and see if it is blocked by MBAM
And i do not beleive MBAM has HIPS ability, take a look at this.

• Database updates released daily.
• Quarantine to hold threats and restore them at your convenience.
• Ignore list for both the scanner and Protection Module.

• Command line support for quick scanning.
• Context menu integration to scan files on demand.

Browser Defender is better than WOT, but i use both. After all , they are just add-ons for FF.
Even if WOT doesnt have ratings for a website, Browser Defender will scan the web page for maliciuos content and warn you.
Remember spyware blaster is not real-time protection, just a tool with which we can immunize browsers.

I just visited GAOD.com,No the IP wasn't blocked by MBAM!Just like I said HIPS absence in MBAM was unknown to me.I actually use OPERA browser 10.50,so I guess FF addons won't do for me unless I use FF.I did try trial Spyware doctor from PC Tools but after I used it,the process just won't stop scanning,manual switching off was the only to exit it.Maybe PC Tools Internet Security is much better.

No, it doesn't blocks...working good for me in FF.
