Advice Request Compatibility of OSArmor with AV suites

[notabot]

I was wondering how compatible is OSArmor when it runs in combination with AV suites.
If the AV suite has HIPS or something like ASR ( or ASR itself for Defender ) - do these play well with OSArmor ?
If any user is using OSArmor and ASR or OSArmor + AV with HIPS please let us know !

I've been using it for a while now and haven't had any issues with it running along side the various AV/AM I've tried. I've ran it along side SHP, Eset, F-Secure and now WD, without issue. The thing about OSA is that it's not doing any real-time scanning, its more there to monitor access to certian vunerable processes and prevent files from running in certian areas (ie documents folder). The developer has suggested to exclude some of OSA files in your AV/AM to be on the safe side, but it may not be necessary. I have very basic knowledge with OSA, so others with more experience will probably be able to explain it better than I can.

In saying all of this, if you have a product with HIPS, technically OSA really isn't needed, provided that the HIPS is configured properly. For example, Eset has HIPS, but requires configuration. If you were to take the time to configure it, you really don't need OSA at all. Some people (like my self) just ran Eset HIPS in smart mode and ran OSA along side Eset (mostly because I'm too lazy to configure the HIPS), but as I've said it's technically not necessary.

I can confirm that there was no conflict between Eset and OSA.
I too had HIPS on Smart Mode and there wasn't any conflict.
But when i set HIPS to Interactive Mode i set an allow rule for OSA and everything was running smooth.

I have used OSA accompanying several antivirus (Kaspersky, Comodo Cloud, Trend Micro, Panda, Forticlient ...) and I have never had any problem.

I used it when I used Windows Defender, for a while. No es problem! I think you will find general agreement about using it with any AV.

OSA does not conflict with the ASR rules of Windows Defender. There is some overlap, but it does not cause issues, in my experience. Generally speaking, OSA is very compatible, it plays nicely with just about everything.

Works well not only with the two free Kasperskys (KFA, KSC) but even with VS in Smart mode.

Can confirm compatiblity with:

• Windows Defender
• Kaspersky
• BitDefender
• MalwareBytes
• ESET
