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

@Lockdown I believe Bouncer is an SRP but what about MZWriteScanner from the same? How are they different?

Technically, all the Excubits products are SRP. The default action is "if it is not allowed (in the module's policy), then it is blocked."

I was hoping it would be more exciting.

SRP is boring protection. There is no toy factor. It blocks. It keeps your system protected. There are no fireworks. SRP is the pwn process killer.

VS + vote here. Work great at current security configuration which change almost daily, hehe!

There is no room for excitement in security, the goal is to achieve peace and security on the system, you want excitement ? install XP without 3rd party security

NVT ERP is not plagued by any major bugs, and everything is out in the open, which makes it easy to understand and configure. This gives it an advantage over VS.
And it is free, which gives it an advantage over appguard.

 

[Tony Cole]

100% AppGuard

Of course you know my vote
buy I will tell you anyway.......
VoodooShield baby

It is not free. Sure the beta is and the beta is most likly as stable as the normal version but its still a beta and not meant for dayly use. So it is still a paid product after all.

 

[Janl1992l]

For me its voodooshield all the way. With its blacklist scan+ai its just realy, realy powerfull not only a anti-exe but to know if something is a real malware or not. hanvt found any malware that bypassed voodooshield. its a keeper.

the beta is perfectly fine for daily use.
it has two small bugs that I am aware of, but that is still a lot less buggy than the stable version of many softwares.

VooDooShield employs #PrivacyRape for profit apparently

Dan already clarified his position on the privacy concern:
VoodooShield ?

 

[Malware Person]

voodoo shield is awesome. it is free, has a user-friendly interface, and is pretty much a install and forget anti-executable.

 

[Malware Person]

SecureAPlus is also really good. it scans files with multiple antivirus engines and I really like its interface.

 

[Glashouse]

+ from me for Voodoo Shield

 

[shmu26]

NVT ERP free beta is still performing great, on Windows 10 CU, as well as on older OSs.
No issues. It just works.
The only caveat is that you need to put an asterisk in a new command line string, every once in a while.

 

[frogboy]

Still using VoodooShield here and are likely to be for a while yet after winning a lifetime key here at MT.

Anti-exe capabilities protection "alone" then my vote without being biased is Appguard...even if we add other features or ease of use still choose Appguard as its the only one of the three with memory protection.

 

[Deleted member 178]

In fact, to be precise Appguard shouldn't be in this poll since it is SRP and not anti-exe.
