Default Threatfire 4.7.0.36 Beta

I have been using the latest beta of ThreatFire for the past few days and it seems pretty much 'business as usual'.

The change log is as follows:

• Improved detection in x64 operating systems (Vista and Windows 7)
• More robust integration
• Improved socialization
• Fixed issues with WinDVD
• Updated language files
• Internal bug fixes

In order to try the beta you need to first register over at:

Enjoy!

do you know how this compares to immunet? i know they arent the same but both try to prevent day 0 infections and work with second scanners.

I keep thinking about trying these addons to avira but can't decide which ones to keep. I've used both and both seem to add no benefits but if I had to keep one, which would people prefer?

Immunet is just another Anti virus so adding Threatfire will be better
because its another layer. I would not add Immunet to use with Avira
but definitely will feel more protected by adding Threatfire even though
is old.

I would agree with Bo too. At this stage Threatfire is the more proven tool of the two. Threatfire needs a well maintained system to work well in without conflicts but you'll know soon enough if it doesn't like yours for one reason or another

I concur with both MC and bo. I have had problems with Immunet in the past, but so far ThreatFire has always worked 'out of the box' and with no conflicts.
