Isn't this something that we already have known for a long time now?Yes... but won't be useful to Alwil to discuss this with us?
The fact that security can only be guaranteed by a whole range of measures and attitudes known as "layered protection and secure practices".In fact, he went further... he's defending 'virtualization'... a thing that we do not discuss this frequently.
So laments about an av solution not offering full protection should be a thing from the past, we can only ask for the best possible protection.I do think Alwil could do a better avast ;)
I agree with you here on several points. Just had to point to a new vulnerability that can be exploited in Word documents to turn a PC into a zombie for which only 6 virus scanners have ample protection.Yeah... http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=22945.msg189525#msg189525
The malware landscape is changing, and even Balmer admits that it is less secure than two years ago. Traditional viruses only make up a minority of malware, as spyware and drive-by installs of adware form the majority. Scripting vulnerabilities make for the majority of infection vectors. Disable scripting and your Internet experience is much more secure. But in some cases you cannot do without. A solution could be sandboxing or a full restoring capability, so that all the impact of an infection of malware could be undone to the effect it appeared it never happened.Ok... but backup backup backup all the time... sometimes we want just to work 8)
For instance, where is pk? where is Pavel? where is Kubecj? Are they all on vacations?
So if you want to beat your competition, you see to it that you have some vital patented technology so you can succesfully keep them from making any innovations,This is a very good point of view... but we need some expert info here. I'm not sure the programmers could not innovate anything, on contrary, if the 'code' is not stolen or craked, it will be difficult (in my point of view) to avoid innovations...
or you have to buy them about together with their patents, a strategy that Microsoft more than often followed. If you cannot you have to come up with new original ideas, and coding.
... until we see what and how is getting implemented then discussion about that can turns into wasted time as it may be in already ...Well, if you think I've opened this thread to waste time... ::) ::)
Any idea of when avast 5 will be available even for beta ??Sure, it will.
Is Avast thinking about adding a firewall ??http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=12640.msg187343#msg187343 :) ;)
New modules ??I hope, I wish the antispyware is comming...
sorry but what is HIPS ??Host Intrusion Prevention Services (HIPS). http://www.secureworks.com/services/hostintrusionprev.html
this bring me on idea, Spyware Terminator is done by Czech team, Alwil should get them :) (buy them out :)))It won't be bad at all 8)
What we cannot acchieve is an official word about what Alwil thing about all of this issue... ::)Bump :P
