Symantec Endpoint Unmanaged without time limit

Hats off to Symantec! They detected this new phishing attack today when no one else had identified it. Great catch by the Symantec team! It even slipped right past Malwarebytes Browser Guard, too!

They do detect a lot of times stuff other providers don't and they have a free extension without ads or bloat that anyone can use unfortunately you need to modify the json file to add more blocked categories as there is no ui to do it
Another issue is that even just the default one alone has many false positives so it might not be for everyone
But I really like using old version of osprey with only the working but removed providers enabled , new one and checkpoint plus Symantec extension and on the device as my av I use Kaspersky so I have that extension too as it just detected so much
Kaspersky and Symantec alone catch a ton others don't and checkpoint is insanely good at well built pishing pages with it's zero pishing scanning that Symantec and Kaspersky can miss as it's fresh but checkpoint url filtering isn't as good in my experience although the zero pishing is incredible
 
were there any updates or newer version of the application in 2026?
Unlicensed doesn't have auto client updates you will have to find the new client online if it isn't posted on cmoss.ru and if it's from a non approved reseller like cmoss.ru then make sure it's signed by Symantec and check the hash too just as a double check so you don't accidentally install a version that has been maliciously modified as long as both signature and hash match then it won't matter the source you got it from and in general Symantec may not fit every user it has a lot of false positives and has more overhead on the system over Kaspersky , eset etc
Personally I would recommend the Symantec extension and a different anti virus for most users or not even the Symantec extension due to its high false positives
