Sounds interesting but unless I see a comparison between it and a real contender (ex: Avira AntiVir) I doubt I'll take the risk of trying it.

It is made in China - it is much better at detecting malware targeting that region than others. That said it is an improving product. I'm not sure its at the level of some of the other freeware anti-virus tools.

I'm chinese, I can tell you Rising Antivirus is not a good antivirus!! Even in China,Rising Antivirus ONLY has about 60% detection rate in some testing that AntiVir,Kaspersky,ESET are over 90% and Avast! is 70% to 80%. Rising used too much resources compared with Kaspersky 7 and 8

Well, AVIRA ANTIVIR don't scan correctly .exe files (installers) and RISING AV does this ok.

I've uploaded to "VIRUS TOTAL" (online multi-scanner) a game installer (.exe) that installs the game, obviously, plus some bad stuff well knowed by all security software of the market (Bargain Buddy). Result was AVIRA, NORTON, NOD32 and others detects nothing throught the installer. RISING, KASPERSKY, G-DATA and others detects well the bad stuff.

I've repeated the test in my laptop using AVIRA and RISING on-demand scan, and the result was the same.

I've executed the ".exe" file and RISING stops all the trojan/adds & bad activity, but remain some writed files to my /System32 directory that RISING on-demand not detects and AVIRA on-demand yes. Task Manager no shows activity for these files.

* RISING hasn't the best signature definitions, but his HIPS (Active Defense Protection) works OK for unknown threats.

* AVIRA has the best signature definitions, but hasn't HIPS, is uncapable of detect suspicious activity and don't scan well throught installers.

RISING HIPS are quite impressive and well capable of an advanced configuration.

Wilder's Security Forums, RISING AV FREE topic explains a lot about RISING HIPS configurations and for PROS/CONS

Cool, can you add Avast also into the test ? I would be interested

Yeah :o

Well, the test results of an on-line scan of the .exe file:

You can see AVAST detects OK throught the installer file!

But I cannot reproduce with AVAST the installation success because I haven't installed on my system. And I don't know if the two principal bad files can be blocked by AVAST.

I checked it's homepage and I couldn't find any links or information about a free version, all I found was trials...am I missing something here?

In any case, until I read a review about from a reliable source I see no reason to risk trying it.

The best free AVs atm are (IMHO) Avira AntiVir and Avast.

Yeah, thanks a bunch ! :hi: I think I made the right choice with Avast, because I prefer the anti-spyware too and its resident protection seems to be good. But if there was cracked Avira, I'd definitely try that out.

I agree! :hi: If AVAST doesn't slowdown a lot your system, I'm thinking becomes a very good full antimalware solution. Plus more, you can install a good free firewall with HIPS than "Comodo Pro Firewall", "Online Armor Free" or "PC Tools Firewall + Threat Fire (HIPS/BEHAVIOR)". Or install "System Safety Monitor Free Edition (HIPS without firewall)".

Good luck! :dance2:

I tried Comodo, but it gets on my nerves a lil bit. And I don't like the HIPS thingy very much... So I went for Outpost instead (thanks to somebody, whos nickname I can't spell :P) ... Outpost seems to have the best results in leak tests, and it's not hard to crack it :sneaky:

Also, I can't install Online Armor, because the beta version doesn't go on Vista (despite them saying it does), so I can't speak about OA either.

Outpost has disabled anti-spyware in compatibility mode (probably because of Avast having it already)... the same with Web control. I wonder which has better anti-spy and web control, Avast or Outpost ?

If you will get RISING AV FREE EDITION, you must surf to: freerav.com

One of for you "reliable source": Wilder's Security Forums

You can see here a lot of PROS/CONS people say about RISING AV.

And, if you like, a comparative of "Virus Bulletin" here: Virus Bulletin

You can see the test is only for signature definitions, not HIPS or another advanced preventions/detections.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link.

About "Wilder's Security Forums" it seems just a collections of people opinions, and the VB chart is a bit simple to judge a new app, but in any case I have no need for extra HIPS since I already Outpost and it his HIPS (the least annoying HIPS ever).

What I meant is a complete review and a competitive comparison, for instance by someone like Gizmo (www.techsupportalert.com) or some similar website.

In any case, it looks like it has potential but from what I read so far, I still think IMO Avast is better choice.

I've not suggesting RISING AV for you, only explaining some words about for people wants it. If you have your own choossed HIPS, GOOD! What's the problem?

Good luck! :)

You got me wrong, there's no problem, I'm just expressing my opinion just like everybody else :)
