So the realtime protection changes exefile association? Like Tiranium...

Hello,

Tiranium products are no more using this system since long time and we're not the first or not the only company that tryed this system.
This system can be the "way" for lot of bugs, games, updates and more of the other programs.

Kind Regards,

According to my investigation, this Dr Prot AV does not detect even the EICAR test file.

Thanks to Freddie and james for taking the time to investigate Dr Prot's effectiveness.

The name instantly reminded me of F-PROT but unfortunetly it's not a clone.

From The Posts Above, it seems that either

1. It is a virus
2. It is a no-use antivirus

(Neither one is very good...)
Better to stay away from not well known products!
P.S.: ESET and AdGuard did NOT detect.

It's a poor quality anti-virus apparently. No reason to pass on known good ones for it.

I'm sorry- I had a mistake:

Better to stay away from well known products!

should be:
