Trend Micro PC-cillin 2002 9.02

Real-time monitor has virtually zero impact on system resources (ie, no sluggishness associated with constant monitoring), extremely frequent updates, built-in POP3 virus scanner, built-in WebTrap Java & ActiveX scanner, built-in firewall, built-in virus scan for Palms (integrates with Sync utility,) free updates (ie, no subscription fee like NAV & McCaffee,) just a damned good total package.

Perfect product? No, those don't exist. But I'm very happy with the level of protection provided by PC-cillin.

I made the same search and find the same you find (nothing!), if you provide me with a place to post it I will gladly post it or mail me with your real mail and I will send it to you zipped and password protected to avoid e-mail scanners with instructions on how to extract it.

Norton SystemWorks 2001 is my favourite Anti-Virus! But if you're using Windows XP or Windows .NET server, then I recommend using either OnTrack's Fix-It Utilities 4.0 or Trend PC-Cillin! Whatever you do, don't use McAfee!

BTW: Norton SystemWorks 2002 is not recommended! Many of the functions don't work correctly in it!

all though mcafee virusscan has been included in every pc i've ever used, i've always preferred norton antivirus, so there lies my vote. they seem more reliable and show more effort imho. 100th post! :beer: :jump: :punk: :hump:

edit - just noticed i have 2 stars now :cool: . i feel special :p guess i've ascended to the next level, super saiyajin 2. :laugh: newbs don't stand a chance. :happy: hmm, mods seem to put up a good fight. :rolleyes: guess it's back to the hyberbolic time chamber for me then....give me 1 day! ;)

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
