[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1118781, member: 92939"] TotalDefense is an American security solutions company. Formerly using the eTrust/ComputerAssociate engine, TotalDefense now uses the Bitdefender engine in its solutions. Let's take a look at what it's worth, how lightweight it is and, above all, how effective it is. [MEDIA=odysee]id=e1bf5ed77976f3f7c86079229afb01bf263064d2;name=TotalDefense-Ultimate-2025;path=%40Shadowra%3Af%2FTotalDefense-Ultimate-2025%3Ae[/MEDIA] Interface : The interface is fairly straightforward, making it ideal for novices. The one thing that may annoy experts is that TotalDefense contains... no configuration! Everything is simplified. Surprisingly, network traffic analysis via PowerShell is not enabled... as the editor leaves it disabled, I don't activate it. The program is quite heavy on RAM... [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Web protection: 10/10[/COLOR] All links are blocked by the TotalDefense web filter. [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Fake crack : 1/1[/COLOR] TotalDefense blocks all malicious launches. Malware Pack : [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Remaining 23 files out of 132[/COLOR]. Mixed results. Although TotalDefense defends itself against attacks, it is rather slow to react and process, which is profitable for malware. On the other hand, it lags behind when it comes to scripting attacks. Sure, it blocked a lot of them, but not direct attacks! On reboot, a VBS script will restart without reacting, followed by PowerShell commands, and continue its operation... (it can be seen connected in TCP View) It can do better, too bad. Final scan : TotalDefense: 0 NPE : 4 KVRT : 17 - [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Infection Memory[/COLOR] Final opinion: TotalDefense is a security solution that has some good ideas, but is totally under-exploited and inconsistent. Why not enable traffic analysis on PowerShell? Why is pro-active protection slow and, above all, average? Why no firewall? A lot of questions that remain after the test... I wouldn't recommend it.
