As far as I undestood, it's a standalone behaviour blocker that comes prepackaged with McAfee Stinger. It's ~7 MB in size and doesn't consume much cpu. Is it worth to use it? Would it conflict with the WD's behaviour blocker?
Please provide comments and solutions that are helpful to the author of this topic.
I just installed it. Real protect is not in the same folder as Stinger. After opening stinger it creates directory in "C:\Program Files\McAfee\Real Protect" and runs in the background and there's a icon in system tray which lets you check log, quarantine, etc.I checked it out and I have found no evidence of any sort of behavior blocker, nothing in its settings or user interface, nothing in its files, maybe its intentional, but I find it confusing.
It couldn't stop the program from running though.
Yeah, it's normal. It doesn't stop the malware from running. It does only notifies the user.

I mean it doesn’t have ‘auto quarantine’ feature. It doesn’t block malware from running in the first place.i don't think this is correct. it has a quarantine
Have you test it with ESET?I just installed it. Real protect is not in the same folder as Stinger. After opening stinger it creates directory in "C:\Program Files\McAfee\Real Protect" and runs in the background and there's a icon in system tray which lets you check log, quarantine, etc.
I think I did back then and didn't have any conflict. But like I said, it couldn't stop the detected program from running after execution, only did after clicking quarantine. So, not worth it unless they changed this behavior now.Have you test it with ESET?
I'm worried about any conflicts.
