Ok, I had a lot of requests for a list of Security Apps that are Sig-Free, so here they are with links too.
VoodooShield: VoodooShield™ - The User-Friendly Toggling Computer Lock.
AppCheck By Checkmal: CheckMAL
DeepArmor: DeepArmor – SparkCognition Inc
NVT ERP: NoVirusThanks: Security Software and Services
HMP / HMP.A: HitmanPro.Alert Ransomware Prevention, Secondary Scanner and Zero-Day Exploit Protection | hitmanpro.com
CyberReasosn, Ransomfree: RansomFree by Cybereason: Free Ransomware Protection
Winpatrol WAR: WinAntiRansom | Protects you like no other Anti-Ransom. Prevents encryption of your files.
First off let me say that going sig-free is not as risky as it was a couple years ago, today it can be done with a responsible approach to browsing and some common sense.
The important thing is to have the time and patience to "learn" the products and how to best employ them in
your environment. The one thing I do recommend is that at first as you learn you need good browser protection, so employ HMP.A with what ever you decide to run with.
I have a ton of experience with VS, the Hitman Pro duo, DeepArmor, and WAR, these are the ones I have used off and on for the past couple years. I am not that familiar with Cyberreasons "Ransomfree" or
NVT ERP. I have not used either of these so I cant tell you their worth, the good thing is that others here
have so just find a user with a history with that particular software and I bet they will gladly share their
knowledge.
For me this was a big transition in that I had to adjust to my config, rather than adjusting my config to me.
That took some getting used to, but in the end it made me a better PC user actually in that I had to be very
aware of what I was doing and why I was doing it, including in my browsing.
My favorite config of those up there is VS, and HMP.A I ran that for almost a full year.
AppCheck can be run next to HMP.A with no issues, seeing how unique their approaches are, they actually compliment each other.
But anyway, mix and match and find what works for you, and as you do watch how fast and stable your machine becomes, I can attest to the fact that doing this is good for you and your habits, as well as your machine, the only downside is it takes a commitment to venture out into a new way of doing things and some
people are not built for that weather it be lack of focus, patience, ect. but if you can see yourself doing this the
rewards are very cool indeed.
I will update this thread with other worthy software as I run across them, I included what I did and what I didn't for a good reason, that being all are nearly mainstream and almost all of us here know and or have used these..
Some of these are free, some are a combo of both free and paid, and some like DeepArmor are very hard to get a hold of so keep a eye out and share anything you find here to help the next user that may want to make the leap to Sig-Free too, this isn't my thread, it's our thread.
