Battle NortonDNS or Bitdefender TrafficLight ?

[Deleted member 2913]

I am running Fsecure AV on Win 7 64.
Fsecure AV dont have Webshield.

I am little confused with NortonDNS & Bitdefender TrafficLight.
Which one is better & you suggest for malware/phishing?

Both are meh.

If I had to choose it would be NortonDNS

Hi, bitdefender is great in phishing sites, norton is good too but if you have an web shield to block malicious pages, like others antivirus, I will go for bitdefender.

I would go with BitDefender Traffic Light it works ok for me.

Actually this now varies as detection capabilities but in such widely view Bitdefender Trafficlight should be enough supplement to your needs but if you want more flexible configuration then Norton DNS.

bitdefender is much better for me, as it uses the same engine as comercial Bitdefender, as for Norton emmm once a while you will see something blocked from them... however you may use both as Bitdefender is a plugin and Norton is a DNS service which you can implement it via your Router and also offers you some interesting features

PST: As they say, Norton DNS is just a basic layer of protection..

I do not think Bitdefender trafficlight is a good opinion.
It does not allow the users to permanently exclude a URL from detection.
So if a website is detected as malicious due to a false positive error, then you must deal with an alert page each time you visit this website.
I should say that it is boring.

I have submitted those false positive errors to bitdefender, but no response after several weeks.

Bitdefender traffic light is a plugin therefore it only makes basic URL scan which means that it only compares URL while surfing in fact i think that none of any existing plugin (AV scanner) would allow you to exclude urls

NONE?
Maybe you can try McAfee Siteadivsor.
It is also an independent browser plugin, but allows the exclusion of urls.

There are so many plugins that are designed to block malicious urls, but I have only tried about 3-4 of them.
So I believe there still exists some other security plugins with the capability of exclusion.

How is panda for malware/phishing?

Is there a standalone panda web filtering?

Certificate for the installer was valid till June 2014 but when I check for digital signs it mention ok?

I installed it & uninstalled it. It gave me the option to uninstall filtering too that I didn't uninstall.
Filtering is present in msconfig-startup & taskmanager.
But it didn't blocked amtso phishing page.

you got a point, however McAfee site advisor comes with an installer (you can also get it as a plugin), back to the topic none of the URL filters that are plugins would allow you to exclude url or offer you advanced features. As for McAfee since it is a program that monitor the entire HTTP is more that obvious that it would allow you to do "much more"

Malicious/Phishing protection in adblockers like adblockplus, adguard, etc... are not that good, right?

Browser protection for mal/phishing are good enough with excellent AV like Fsecure AV (currently running) for average users?
Browsers IE & Chrome.

You could use both, I did use OpenDNS, but I have never tried Norton, may be I should give it a whirl.
