SecureAPlus Freemium - Updates

[Nagisa]

Voodooshield!

Yeah, Voodooshield is a pretty good example of that. Except the annoying popups you see when you open the UI or reached a number of detection, it's nearly fully functional, I guess. I don't like and neither use VoodooShield but I don't see any reason why to choose SAP Lite over VS Free.

Hi i am trying out SAp plus and see that when detecting files only the apex av will show up in the 11 entries even though 3-4 others have detected the malware also .This was not just only one file but 8-10 files ,apex showed up in all but the other av's of the 11 should have detected ,I know this because i tested with virustotal online and the results were more than apex .Something is wrong somewhere .Thks

My guess is that APEX is locally installed, if it consider your files to be malware it does not contact the cloud to ask the other engines.

Hi but if that is the case how do we know about false positives?

The engines present on VirusTotal often differ to the ones implemented in their commercial variants, and the engines powering SecureAPlus's Universal AV suffer from a delay in signature updates when compared to their original counterparts.

Hi all

SecureAPlus 6.3.0 is out now

Bugs fixed:
- Avira and "Vulnerability Assessment" were not uninstalled cleanly
- SAP without UAV with Avira still shows UAV results in UAV bar when online
- SecureAPlus was not registered as AntiVirus
- Real-time antivirus scan prompt does not appear for Word doc virus, if only detected by UAV.
- AWL dialog too tall
- The log for Blocked command line does not have length and hash for the command line that the action other than "Always Block"
- Tray icon only changes when changing App Whitelisting mode from tray icon menu
- Simplified and traditional Chinese: "Interactive" text on main UI is different from the text in tray icon menu
- Error code: 87 for Request for whitelist approval and My Approved Whitelist
- In certain situation EverythingServer keeps consuming memory.

Modifications:
- Change minimum sending log interval from 1 minute to 15 minutes
- Change log formatting, so that it will be easier for parsing at the server.
- Reduce whitelist.log during initial whitelist.
- When real-time scanning is off, UAV real-time scanning will be shown as off too.

What's new:
- Send software inventory information to server
- Added reg.exe into restricted application list
- Vulnerability Assessment supports software that only installed for current user.
- Auto Mode
New installation: default mode is auto mode
Upgrade: the settings will not be changed. If previous mode is interactive mode, it will remain as interactive
Auto mode will make a decision based on "Digital Signature", APEX, UAV.
There are some situations where there is not enough information for Auto Mode to make a decision.
In this case, user will still see prompting.
- Updated German translation for Vulnerability Assessment.
- Added into the trusted certificate list: "Zoom Video Communication Inc", "Deluxe Pixel Limited"
- Check Linux permission attributes. If it doesn't have executable permission (x), do not need to block the file if it is untrusted.

@ sap
Still no button to report FP:s upon detection? Both whitelist and APEX detection's.
If you want , try to install Slimjet browser, or run Patchmypc or Qbittorrent as examples that always generate a FP detection.

How do you disable clamAV local AV in the new version? or this doesn't exists anymore?

What is the impact of disabling automatic full system scan? performance because the whitelist won't be complete?

 

[l0rdraiden]

If I disable real time scanning in AV settigns, is this to disable APEX? Will unversarl AV still work on "real time"?

Why some detections of the universal AV are automatically ignored without notice? and others are preseted as a threat when both has only be detected by 1 of the engines? what is the criteria to decide if it is a threat or it is ignored?

 

[l0rdraiden]

I have notice that I can keep APEX enable and disable the universal AV on real time but no the other way around.
It's a pitty because it would be interesting to run Univesal AV alone together with Other AV's.

How heavy is a APEX engine?

ClamAV is no longer included in the new version.
If you are upgraded from the older version, and you don't want ClamAV, you can uninstall it.

Disabling Full System scan will not have any impact on the whitelisting. Disabling Full system scan only means that you are disabling the periodic full system scan in the cloud.

When disabling rea-time scanning from scan settings, not only APEX will be disabled, the Universal AV real-time scanning will be automatically disabled too.

For the ignored detection, are you referring to the full system scan? For full system scan, if the threat is only detected by 1 engine, it will not be ticked, but the result will still be shown in the full system scan result.

Now I actually kinda wish there was free "Lite" version that's just antivirus and APEX module. No HIPS nonsense and other stuff that's just so clunky. Hell, I'd even go with APEX by itself if it was possible.

Yea, same here,
APEX as a companion to whatever AV, would be a awesome reinforcement.
I already proposed this to sap a while back, but the more of us asking for it, maybe it will become true....
