Battle Best Anti-EXE/App Whitelisting 2015

[Overkill]

Which one do you choose?

 

[Overkill]

I like all of the contenders, but I had to vote for my favorite NVTERP!

 

[LabZero]

I think SecureAplus that offers the best anti-malware protection and Application Whitelisting in one product

 

[Koroke San]

I choose SecureAplus, why? Coz it's 1 yr free with all features, good app whitelisting , AV ( not full features) protection facility with 12 AV & u have option to select what AV engine u want to, u can use it as companion AV program alongside ur PC, it automatically checks the file in virustotal for any malware infection ( late it have a feature of quarantine if it gets virus alert from virustotal scanning which is good specially for newbie), don't slow down my PC/web surfing, good customer support & the listen customer suggestion & UI is user friendly.The only thing i don't like it slow down boot time, hope this issue will fixed.

SecureAplus for me also.

 

[Overkill]

Wow! Lots of SAP lovers, I am very pleased with it as well. I only wish they would change the offline av to something different than Clam.

 

[jerzy601]

for me, the best is AppGuard I use it myself for a long time, there is only one thing it needs to be configured.

Unquestionably SecureAplus

 

[MalwareT]

Guys, what do these apps specifically do? Is it similar or superior to EMET?

 

[Koroke San]

EMET only protects from exploits AE/AW is in different category.

I guess they are like UAC on steroids.

 

[Vasudev]

what is AW?

The anti-exploit software as EMET reduce specific attacks against your computer. Instead the anti-exe, keep a white list of programs that are allowed to be run on your system and block any other program not included in that list.

 

[Koroke San]

Application Whitelist.

 

[Atlas147]

Voodooshield is definitely the best free option but if you have the money, SecureAPlus is the way to go.

What if, malicious program is hooked/injected to whitelisted app? Will AW/AE apps allow infected apps to run?

No, it should block it because policies are changed.

But absolute security does not exist

If we are primarily focus on pure whitelisting then its complexity configuration varies.

The level follows based on my observation.

SecureAplus and Voodoshield= can be for newbie up to advance users.

EXE Radar PRO and Appguard = range for medium to expert users.

But the advantage for SecureAplus and Voodoshield is AV engines as reference to reduce complex interaction alerts.

Just choose any for your complement AV.

I also vote for SecureAPlus. Voodooshield free isn't advanced enough, and the rest cost money which I don't have right now to spend.. SecureAPlus has an office here in Pennsylvania which is pretty cool but that isn't affecting my stance on it. 1 year free (which is awesome compared to other free trials), scanning abilities, compatibility with many AV's, whitelisting and option for easy custom rules sways my opinion though. Avoid ClamAV (offline) protection. It doesn't install by default, you have to check it. Without that offline AV, it's very light on RAM and CPU.
