[QUOTE="Andra Zaharia, post: 676730, member: 37524"] Hi everyone, I really appreciate everyone's input here. Just to give you a quick overview: Heimdal does traffic-based malware detection and blocking (only traffic, no signatures, no software behavior) and patching (automated, silent). It is an antivirus supplement that works proactively to complement your security setup. It's not browser-based and it's not an add-on. It's a standalone desktop application compatible with Windows versions 7 to 10. The core of the product is the same for Heimdal PRO and Heimdal CORP, but the latter also includes access to a dedicated dashboard rich with in-depth information about endpoints protected by the product. In terms of placebos, there is no such claim related to Heimdal products and we actually always emphasize the need for multiple security layers. Here is just one example: [URL="https://heimdalsecurity.com/blog/protect-your-pc-multiple-layers-security/"]How to Protect Your PC with Multiple Layers of Security[/URL] In terms of resource consumption, it depends on what Heimdal is doing at that moment. If it's patching, a spike in usage will naturally happen. Otherwise, we try to constantly improve Heimdal to maintain as low of a footprint as possible, while still providing as high of a protection level as possible. If you have any other questions related to the product, I'd be happy to help with clarifications. [/QUOTE]
