Dr Prot, another free anti-virus. Your thoughts?

[conceptualclarity]

I just came across this for the first time.
http://www.drprot.com/

Said to be formerly known as "Exedb Anti Malware Scanner". Available on CNET and Softpedia as well as its own site. Doesn't have a great deal to say about itself on its own site, which makes an unfavorable impression on me. Its site appears to be written by a non-native speaker of English.

I'll look forward to it, Malware Test. :0)

I had avast! in 2013. I generally liked it, but not its false positives. Among its many false positives on my system were Panda Cloud Cleaner and MozBackup.

Malware. You might run it in a virtual machine and see what happens.

Maybe this will be enough to provoke the developer to show up and talk to us.

Installed with no problem, but when executing I got some HIPS warning, denied them all and the program started up with no problem, after blocking all with hips it seems harmless.

Here some pics of the hips: http://pho.to/7r7aY
