Any real-time software that uses non-traditional ways to find malware?

[QUOTE="ChoiceVoice, post: 915665, member: 28876"] i'm not sure what non-traditional wouldn't really encompass, but suppose you are pointing to non-signature detection. that would leave behavioural detection: but behavioural detection isn't a new concept (i mean, threatfire/cyberhawk was for XPs), in truth, much of the hoopla and hype about AI leaning detection is likely only behavioural detection with a new marketing angle. there does seem to be a newer form of behavioural detection, where they upload the file to a cloud sandbox and execute it, and then analyze it, but truth be told, this analysis is still just the old sigs and behavioural triggers of old, but performed in a safer environment. most AVs have all these aspects integrated now and it is hard to find a dedicated behavioural detection program. off the top of my head ... there is still winpatrol WAR. it hasn't been updated for a while, but it isn't sig based, so it likely still has some merit for what you're after (?). how about this, take daily system snapshots and compare them over a regular time frame. if you get infected, it will be visible and can be rolled back ... but what a cumbersome headache that would be, heheh. edit: yes, I see someone mentioned comodo above. execution control and user permissions can alert you to malware as well. so a good two-way firewall that asks you questions might be what you're looking for.
