Greeting, Hello, Hi,

Can you install on Windows 8.1? Any conflicts with other Security Software's?
Nice Security Software Review! Thanks!

ThreatFire is a Behaviour Blocker, you should be able to run it alongside your Antivirus, assuming it hasn't any other behavioural or HIPS features. However, TF it was discontinued in 2012, the last supported OS listed is Windows 7. Other PC Tools software were also discontinued and recommended users to switch to Norton. Symantec owns Norton / PC Tools.

Gnosis is the ultimate MT champion for using abandonwares (WinXP, ThreatFire, CIS v3, Sandboxie v1, IE1, MSdos, etc...)

You can give it a shot if you like. It is very light. Once you establish your white-list, it will rarely bother you unless you are downloading new software. I used to disable it at that time, but now I leave it enabled because anytime new software wants to set itself up to start with Windows,
Threatfire will warn you every time, and you can kill/quarantine/remember this decision, and you won't have unecessary BS starting with Windows. Those buggers always try to mess with you that way. All that I have starting with Windows is WSA, and TF Level V. I honestly do not know of any conflicts with other security software. As long as you white-list each piece of security software both ways, that shall take care of clashes.

I doubt any harm will be done to try install on Windows 8. Regardless, make sure you have restore points.

We used to have a member that tested it vs. 15 malicious links, and 30+ malicious .exe's, and it kicked some serious tail. The only thing that appeared to get through also appeared to escape the VM being used, though we never confirmed, only speculated/theorized.
