Battle Best Anti-Executable in your opinion? - AppGuard, NVT ERP or VoodooShield ?

[hjlbx]

Which is the best anti-executable in terms of overall user experience:

interface
ease-of-use
features
compatibility
bugs
robust protection

Blue Ridge AppGuard (AG)
NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro (NVT ERP)
VooDooShield (VS)

My vote goes to NVT ERP.

AG - best (additional) protections
VS - features\innovation
NVT ERP - in day-to-day use, it has proven to be the most user/system friendly - especially on busy, changing system

I agree with @yesnoo for ease of use alone i have become a fan of VoodooShield and it blocks like a champ.

You run Stable 2 or Beta 3 & Free or Pro?

Stable 2 runs fine for me on Win 10 64.
Beta 3, other programs response i.e programs opening is slow.

I just run the free version, it meets my needs just fine.

The comparison table mention "No Nag Screens" in Pro version, what are the nags in free version?

So you use it with Norton Security, right?

 

[frogboy]

Sometimes you get a nag screen on reboot but no other times during time on PC, and yes i use it alongside Norton.

I'd choose VooDooShield
I've used it before. But Im dont want use it anymore, eset enough.. for me at least

remember, i dont install random software on real-system.

What are the nag screens?

 

[frogboy]

It is just would you like to buy VoodooShield at startup with a yes or no option.

ERP is the best free Anti-exe. it is very granular.
Appguard is the best paid anti-exe. It got the homeland security award.

Does it uploads hash or executable?

I remember Secure Plus too has VT like feature & initial days it use to upload executable & so heavy on bandwidth for limited data plan users. Dont know how is it with Secure Plus now?

Best Protection:

1. AppGuard
2. NVT ERP
3. VooDooShield

Ease-of-Use

1. NVT ERP
2. VooDooShield
3. AppGuard

VooDooShield beta isn't ready yet.

NVT ERP is needed if you have hardware that uses rundll32.exe - so you can white-list command lines.

To be perfectly honest, once AppGuard is configured, you do not often have to mess with it.

Easiest to learn is NVT ERP.

NVT ERP is gold.

Combine AppGuard and NVT ERP - I would find it unlikely - despite exploits, drive-by-downloads, vulnerable process abuse - that a system would get infected - unless the user made the mistake.

As mentioned did little test. I can handle NVT right from the go but AppGuard is little tough for me & will need reading help files or trial & error.

And I am thinking of family shared laptop & find VS better & easy compared to the 2 above. Its popup & description & recommendation are easy to understand & take action too.

May be VS not strong as the other 2 but atleast Windows Defender + Windows FW + VS on Win 10 64 laptop will be lot better protection compared to traditional security software/suite, right?

Lockdown Mode - Lockdown Mode with GUI hidden (Stealth Mode)

AppGuard - NVT ERP

That's really good protection.

Stop people from downloading and installing files... that's for sure.

Yes, but it is not as good as protection than NVT ERP.

Can only protect the 7 built-in vulnerable processes.

NVT ERP you can protect all vulnerable processes = user defined.

Whichever you choose is going to be a good choice.

I just think VooDooShield isn't ready yet; the beta is only partially done and has bugs.

7 Processes it protects by default?

What about VS stable 2? How is it?

By default how many vulnerable process does NVT protects?

 

[enaph]

There is only one "real" anti-exe - NVT ERP.
AppGuard and VS are more like restriction policy softwares but my vote goes to VS because it is the most innovative and fast devloped tool

VS doesn't have customizable vulnerable process list; only NVT ERP.

I tell you from my own experience, NVT ERP is gold.

A few hours of practicing with it and you have it figured out...

I have mentioned in my previous post for me I can handle NVT right from the go i.e from install I find it easy enough to use & no need help files. But not suitable for family shared laptop of average users.

how does spyshelter compare as an anti-executable?
