Hi friends, in today's tutorial we will talk about a free security software, it is revolutionary in many ways, our "smart" today is called Treath Fire and is produced by the well-known company PC Tools.
Threat Fire is a smart antivirus security solution, it is not like a regular antivirus, it can not replace the antivirus, it only complements it and covers the range of dangers that the conventional antivirus is not very effective, here I mean the threats Zero Day Threat, these threats are vulnerabilities in some software still undiscovered, "Zero Day" is the day the software developer discovers the vulnerability, the problem is that in the meantime it is possible that someone else has discovered the "hole", that someone can be a mallware manufacturer, the most recent case was the one with internet explorer 6 and Google, against the background of some old vulnerabilities, an attack was launched in china, those without security patches for Internet Explorer 6 suffered, more on Romanian those without licenses and implicitly without updates.
It is well known that a classic antivirus acts based on definitions, these definitions come with the update, Threat Fire is different, it has a smart module called ActiveDefense, it acts a function of application behavior, this way we see that solutions of this type become intelligent, they already have their own "judgment".
Threat Fire can not replace software your security, it complements their Threat Fire is not a tool for anti-virus, this is a smart tool that stops attacks and so, if we think well what I needed all today , netul is becoming faster, visit dozens or hundreds of sites per day, many places where we walk may be infected, many colleagues who talk on messenger may be infected (without their consent), we need intelligence protection, this protection ThreatFire provides us where you put it and free!
Threat Fire has several levels of security, also has some advanced settings with which you may set very clear rules, an experienced user can turn in a tank Fire Threat of war.
A predefined rule in the advanced tab deals with double extension files that make victims on file sharing networks (DC network and P2P network) and on yahoo messenger, for example an .exe file can have the name “fisier.exe.jpg, from due to the basic settings in windows, the files do not have the visible extension, consequently we will see a file "fisier.jpg", of course we will click on it to view the "picture", good luck with Threat Fire that intervenes, blocks the malware , kills the process opened by him and quarantines him.
It would be much to say, many will find the tutorial, also video tutorials if you need other security solutions can be found on page Security

the mother of vb in this tutorial, so is bravo
Very good tutorial. And especially very good program. Help a lot. Thank you
bloatware
good program already gives too much security software I have zonealarm pro, avira free and malwarebytes, I think that one day I give up everything and put deep freeze + zonealarm that I can't give up and ready: D
PcTools antivirus application is infection. I tested the virtual machine and took it bad orally. He missed a lot of stuff and eat something resources. Instead of praise for ThreatFire. The virtual machine Avast5 + Thrratfire were impenetrable. Use it and you'll have guarded ass. I've put on systems where the combination of antivirus + ThreatFire are standing and one year after installing OS's. Cheers
if I have a Symantec Endpoint Protection with Proactive threat protection that (at least I write) has zero-day protection against unknown viruses more need ThreatFire?
It is no longer necessary and ThreatFire.
If antivirus applications, due to heuristic modules, give many false alarms, then why does ThreatFire "jump all the way" when I launch a simple application like "hfs" ?! Is it really a "moderate threat" as ThreatFire shows it ?!
What is certain is that ThreatFire has extremely low false positives (approaching zero). When a warning can be sure that application, unless infection is dangerous or at least dubious.
Congratulations, good video tutorial, Cristi, I noticed that in the field of linux you left it more "soft", it is true that there are more windowsz users, but through the video tutorials you made for the linux operating system, Mandriva and Ubuntu, you did nothing but arouse the curiosity of Romanians for this operating system. My question is: When video tutorials with linux distributions, but also their applications? Thank you in advance.
Yes, and I was tempted to try Ubuntu, in fact I installed with Wubi, but shame that I found my video driver and I left, I'm really sorry.
More recently concluded that Google does not actually attack the one she came from China and that whoever was initiated in America (even from Microsoft) and have used a fingerprint file from china to induce eroare.De therefore in the end the whole thing was hushed and still filter Internet google Chinese.
I do not dispute the efficiency of this to call it additional firewall but also comodo internet security premium does its job, because if you notice a suspicious behavior of an application will run the application in the sandbox and so you are protected. I noticed that there is a virus that uses new versions of messenger and when you open the messenger and in the list of people who have the virus automatically those users try to connect to your computer via mess via (remote) TCP port 5101.
- ThreatFire is not an "additional firewall" but is a behavior-blocker antivirus that intercepts and blocks any possible malicious action based on the behavior of that file. It also incorporates a set of definitions to detect already known viruses.
- If you use CIS4 it is contraindicated to install ThreatFire. They can conflict.
