Icedrake Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Is it? I went on their website and it was showing this graph about how ThreatFire detects more viruses than specific anti-viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfenech Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 It's not an antivirus, it's a behavior blocker. It's designed to supplement your anti-virus and whatever antispyware programs you have. I would highly recommend it if you don't have a similar program or a HIPS doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right. To add on, the latest TF free adds the following though "On-demand antivirus scanner now available in ThreatFire free edition An on-demand antivirus scanner is now available in both ThreatFire Free as well as ThreatFire Pro."

Tarq57 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Although the above is correct, it's interesting that the MS security centre recognizes TF as an antivirus. I believe as part of its behaviour blocking characteristics, it does scan files against the AV database prior to making a decision as to whether to alert or not.
