Hey, anybody try this out yet, and does it conflict with Avast? Just wondering if this could be used as an extra layer of protection?
-
As of now in mine, Immunet is working smoothly alongside avast.

Cloud-based anti-malware solution seems to be quite hot since there are already a few threads.
What cloud antivirus to use? (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?&topic=50782)
Immunet Protect - in the cloud malware protection now supports avast.. (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?&topic=49878)
As the end user license agreement says, it's still in beta stage and has some glitches in a certain environments but it seems to be supported by quite many forum members probably because it's compatible with Avast! and light on resources.

Hi pinnacle,
You won't regret it, it was made by an av consortium, I have it now next to my resident av solution and ThreatFire, it combines the protection of the users of the cloud. It gives a complete survey of what lands/landed on your machine (you can actually see all these downloads come by and also the temporal files that come down, all through ImmunetProtect pop-ups (you naturally can also disable that feature), I had only one alert, but very accurate, it scans all of your system files and running processes. It is tweakable towards your likings. I started to like like it from day one I had it on my comp. I find it very friendly towards the old computer cycles, great additional av tool. So, enjoy, my good friend, enjoy..

WHOA!!!!, Immunet Protect has a very smooth GUI, and uses close to nothing interms of memory. polonus you were dead on this is quite a find and definitely a keeper. This should be in everyone,s PC or toolbox if compatible with their other Antivirus.

Hello, on their website i get a bit confused. There seems to be download option for 64bit but further down it mentions that for Vista and Win7 only 32bit is supported. So is the 64bit version only working on WinXP?
Thanks advice,

Hallo anothermack,
Ga naar hier: http://www.immunet.com/versions klik dan op het V-tje en dan kies de download voor Microsoft Windows 64 bit (die zit eronder verborgen) en de download begint onmiddellijk, hoor.
Het is een hele fijne toevoeging naast je avast av oplossing en draait ook groots naast Threatfire,
groetjes,

Thanks Polonus. Bedankt also for the PM. Do you use Win7 64bit or WinXP 64bit? I had seen the dowload option for 64bit installer but it isn't clear to me on which 64 system it'll work... To be honest the Immunet website looks a bit ill maintained in that respect.
And thanks for the Saint Nicolas gif.

Please read:
Why Do Some 64-Bit Apps Install to C:\Program Files (x86)? Also a quick way to determine if an application is 32-bit or 64-bit is to look what it says in the Processes list in Task Manager next to the binary's name. If there is a *32 next to it, that means its 32-bit and running under WOW64.

Well did someone get any notification when Immunet detect something?

Hi folks,
I also had 1 item found when installing a program that was generally unknown. The flagging was right because of what the program did. Other things I downloaded were normal downloads for tools I update or for programs I use everyday and know to be clean. ImmunetProtect is rather accurate because of the whole range of security programs the users use next to ImmunetProtect. I like a program that flags an issue because it is a real issue and keep silent when green items come by,

More importantly was it correct in its detection.

Hi DavidR,
It was correct in what it detected- suspicious action of an updater. Tried it on virustotal and yes a reputable score of av-scanners would have flagged that one landing on the machine. Just diametrically different from a-squared free that will flag everything out of the ordinary, malcode or not, so I finally come to the conclusion it does a good "additional" job, like Threatfire. The team of ImmunetProtect is led by Oliver Friedrichs, who earlier worked for Symantec. The program uses each of the more than now 19.000 computers on which it has been installed as a kind of honeypot - sort of. Through this means in real time it could protect each and all members of this ImmunetProtect community: "Each time someone of the ImmunetProtect collective encounters a threat the remaining community members are being protected against this in real-time." Well, I would say "the proof is in the pudding", actually the proof of the pudding is in the eating...

The question was directed mainly to Bob in the quote, as I had also seen your previous post.

Hi DavidR,
Excuse me for responding to a question meant for bob3160, whenever he comes online he will answer for himself I assume.
We adopted to use this in the cloud program around the same time, just give me a good feeling as bob3160 has similar experiences with it and a good nose for promishing novelties, it could be something for you as well because it so lean on the old cycles, much more than ThreatFire is, of which updating weighs heavy (at least on my XP SP3 machine), the scanning of allprocesses in memory and the system files is also performed quickly and adequately. Funny that we the over 60 guys have to like it, and that not a lot of youngsters installed it next to their av solution of choice, well in our case avast of-course, it also plays well alongside and recognizes Threatfire as a co-scanner, as it does avast. For now, I am a satisfied user of it,

Thanks but no thinks, I have done enough in the clouds ;D
I have no problem with cycles as my system is more than up the task. The main issue for me is being on dial-up that is something else to eat into my already abysmal connection speed.
I also don't use Threatfire, I really don't like being a slave to security software and use a healthy dollop of common sense to keep me out of trouble also. If all else fails a robust backup & recovery strategy and you don't need to be snowed under with security applications.

Hello normishmael,
Yes we sure do have those! And the other main category of jokes in the Lowlands start with 'pull my finger'.

I'm not sure that being on a dial-up internet connection is a preclusion to using Immunet. I've been using it on a dial-up connection from my mainland home for four days without issue. The only major bandwidth usage I've noticed is during a manual scan (by agent.exe).

I been asking myself if the immunet protect scans things in ther webpages but I think the answer is no!
