I too would like to see that screenshot i had it installed a few days ago and sonar was missing out of GUI. I know hes telling the truth about that wondering whats going on?

Seems like they done a few changes under Broadcom like calling sonar behavioral analysis
Actually I don't have the full client on my machine to test if that setting exists but that's definitely a shame they have removed it although if they did I would assume they believe it as good as the aggressive was

I love their IPS. Best in class.

Just like you I run it on every machine and if you use the ips , firewall only it's insanely light


Not that the other components aren't good but personally I prefer to use eset as an av as it's lighter , has less false positives

No they changed the name but it's still sonar and they are improving it by probably fusing different tech they have from other companies they have under their umbrella like VMware
But no they have zero avast tech and gen digital has stopped using Symantec tech

SONAR had the following changes due to the improved BPE engine:
The SONAR tab was renamed to Behavioral Analysis and combined with the Suspicious Behavior Detection tab.

If it doesn't work I can dm a link to the latest client btw I only recommend to download from cmoss.ru or any official distributor
And check the signature should be signed by Broadcom

but a question (sorry if obvious...) the link provided is French, so is the downloaded SEP also in French, my French is weak and helpful for me to have English. Is there an option once downloaded to use English? I have a VM with Norton I rarely use and coming up for renewal and I am not renewing, so would like like to try SEP unmanaged. I used SEP "eons" ago.
