I thought it just sat there passively in realtime (all the time) watching for behavouristic changes. That is a sort of scan, surely?

That's odd my reply is not showing. I thought that Threatfire sat there in realtime watching for irregularaties like behaviouristic changes which is a type of scan, surely?

Didn't you say you dont use the scan though? which i understood as realtime switched off anyway it is a drag on the system, an excellent and very light program to watch over your system behaviour is WinPatrol, the free version is delayed scanning while the plus version is realtime http://www.winpatrol.com/

CraigB- "Didn't you say you dont use the scan though?"
I had periodically used its Intelliscan for rootkits etc. and it never found anything and slowed the system. So yes, I no longer use it.
What I meant was that according to its advertising it is permanently  montoring the system passively for iregularities (which to my mind is a scan or at least a shield.)
I am not trying to promote it, but just repeating what it says in the blurb http://www.threatfire.com/ - it is very light on the system and updates daily, that much is true.

WinPatrol may well be better. I should look at it.

Thanks.
