Advice Request NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro

[shmu26]

Just curious is anyone out there still using NVT ERP?
I don't see people talking about it anymore. Has it fallen by the wayside?
I am not asking about the dev, who went AWOL again, I am asking about us users.

Hey shmu26, I tried to use this with Defender but removed it soon after and probably won't return to it unless there's a miracle or something.

a. It's not updated for past 1 1/2 yrs.

b. As a former Insider in the Fast Ring, unless the developer pays personal attention to ERP soon, I, myself, would not risk running it in Windows v.2004. It once took HitmanPro over 13 minutes to upload over 700 new .exes and .dlls to its cloud while running a newly installed Insiders build (which would then theoretically segue to v. 2004 eventually.) So, this makes me think the potential for issues would be higher. Of course, not a fortune-teller here, though. Who knows.

c. It slows the startup process on this particular machine by about 3 seconds.

I don't use it since v3.

I think he gets bored making free software and does it when he has no work, I imagine he gets a lot of offers and work from enterprises to design their security controls.

he gets a lot of offers and work from enterprises to design their security controls.

And we, the users of his freebies, are the guinea pigs to test features for his enterprise products.

I use the beta version for a couple of weeks. I configured it to block almost all LOLBins.

The last days it seems to slow down the system. Sometimes it has difficulties with Windows Defender and opening the Windows Explorer.

Not using it anymore, I switched to VS Pro/Appguard.

To be honest, my donation to NVT is the only one that I have regretted giving. It's not only that he stopped updating the apps, he ghosted out completely. Such a shame.. I will not use another NVT app again in the future.

The developer's disappearance is how I came to uninstall NVT software and switch to Hard_Configurator instead. It's a choice that has served me well so far.

 

[shmu26]

The dev is famous for sudden appearances and disappearances. He will most likely be back, when he has the time for it.

A dev that makes freewares owes nobody a thing.

Then he should remove the donation option on his website and focus only on his enterprise solutions.
It is not the lack of updates that bothers me, it's the ghosting.
Even open source developers are more active and are there to address user issues.

I'm just as eager to get a new version for OSA as all of us, but give the man a break. Life has changed for all us in the last months.

I still use EXE Radar Pro (ERP) but I have stayed with the last version in the 3 series. It is still effective as an anti-exe, when coupled with SecureAPlus, my only real-time AV. I also use OSA which can easily be user-updated by writing custom block-rules.

It definitely slows down the system. I checked it's cycle usage and it was around half of the Windows Defender. A bit much for just an anti-exe.

As usual in an oldschool manners Hi @bellgamin it's nice to meet you in this place

Fantastic news in antiexecutable software. ERP shall return to assume its position as the number 1 postion and gold standard of antiexecutables.

If anyone has not been following NVT ERP elsewhere, Andreas (RMB) and his team are working on finishing-out MVT ERP. No ETA yet but there is absolute certainty that ERP shall re-assume its position as the gold standard of antiexecutables. It is not packed full of practically worthless features and it is much less problematic than the competition.

Whether used alone or combined with H_C and it you can have the highest protections along with the best usability. As always Andreas makes ERP gold.

NVT ERP is the best antiexecutable in the Universe.

If one wants to use it with H_C, then there is a predefined setting profile for that, that allows EXE files globally: Windows_10_Avast_Hardened_Mode_Aggressive.
It can be an interesting combination for some users. NVT ERP will cover the EXE files, and H_C will allow EXE and take care of the rest. If the EXE application installer is blocked by NVT ERP, then forced SmartScreen (the H_C feature) can be used to safely install the application.
NVT ERP can whitelist applications by the Signer, which can be sometimes more convenient as compared to SRP whitelisting in the home environment.

So cool. So trouble-free. Usability is exceptionally good. @Andy Ful and @NoVirusThanks are the best.
