thanks stas
is ZAL 1.9.3.602 good?
ZAL 1.9 was always a stand-alone no-network program.
It's Intelliguard cloud (leveraging the VirusTotal API) is to judge for automatic allow/block decisions if so configured. Otherwise to populate allow/block alerts with more relevant data. Intelliguard is and was always an option; if disabled, no automatics and you get generic allow/block alerts for the anti-loggers or System Defense.
I'm still running it on two Windows 7 systems and Intelliguard is still active as evidenced by occasional antilogger.exe connectivity with an amazon cloudapp server.
The threats.zdb file (for local threat look-up prior to hitting the cloud) continues to be updated several times a day from
dl9 dot zemana .
So, for 8.1 and down, 1.9 will continue to provide its core protection.
For those not wanting to run the network enslaved "ZAM Plus" (me), it's perfect.
And the just published
MRG Effitas Online Banking Certification Q2 2016 Report presents that 1.9.3.602 doesn't need any improvement.
Which is not to say I wouldn't buy a ZAL2-less-ZAM. But Zemana decided otherwise.
Next year when my ZAL-1.9 licenses expire, if I can't renew, it's Spy Shelter.
