Antivirusprogram - olika (Sida 2 av 2)

,tackar för infot
fast är detta ett antivirus eller mailware program ?

något som verkar jättebra enligt  AV-testsidan är enligt vad dom säger:
Bitdefender: Internet Security
som jag tolkar det

Sanningen är i likhet med moralen, något relativt: det finns inga fakta, bara tolkningar.
Asus main Router AC68U, 2st poynting riktantenner,5st Rt N12D1 Routers som Ap & Repeaters, Buffalo NaS, 12st ip cams (thinking, do I got the IP-Cam addict desice? )

"mailware" ?
Gissar att du menar malware....

EAM är precis som namnet antyder ett "Antimalware-program".
Men, då måste man först förstå vad "Malware" betyder.
Malware är en förkortning / sammanskrivning av "Malicious software" = elak programvara = skit !

Malware är alltså: virus, trojaner, worms, key loggers, dialers, backdoor / bot, exploit, spyware, adware, rootkit, rogues / scareware, ransomware.

EAM hittar "allt" !
Bitdefender är bra, men EAM är bättre därför att EAM använder 2 sökmotorer, sin egen och bitdefender.
Kan knappast blli bättre....
EAM har toppresultat i tester, men det är med den gamla versionen med Ikarus som sökmotor #2.
EAM v7 släpptes i slutet av året, så den "nya" versionen syns ännu inte i alla tester som gjorts, så det ska bli väldigt intressant att se resultaten vid senare tester.

Här kommer en väldigt bra förklaring av (allmänt vedertagen) terminologi:

"The terms "anti-virus" and "anti-malware" which are used in a lot of protection software are, unfortunately, quite confusing. Some users are led to believe that anti-virus solutions are more effetctive than those that protect against malware, whereas the latter actually is the generic term. The matter is even more complicated as, nowadays, all common anti-virus software also protects against other kinds of malware. What's more: the term "anti-malware" is sometimes also used for software that offers no comprehensive protection against all kinds of threats, but merely specializes on one category or on persistent malware.

Everyone knows about viruses, and almost everyone is familiar with trojans, spyware or adware. But what about rootkits, ransomware and rogues? In the following you will be given a short introduction to different kinds of malware.
    • Virus
A computer virus spreads on its own by smuggling its code into application software. The name is in analogy to its biological archetype. Not only does a computer virus spread many times and make the host software unusable, but also runs malicious routines.
    • Trojan horse/Trojan
A Trojan horse is a type of malware disguised as useful software. The aim is that the user executes the Trojan, which gives it full control of your PC and the possibility to use it for its own purposes. Most of times, more malware will be installed in your system, such as backdoors or key loggers.
    • Worm
Worms are malicious software that aim at spreading as fast as possible once your PC has been infected. Unlike viruses, it is not other programs that are used to spread the worms, but storage devices such as USB sticks, communication media such as e-mail or vulnerabilities in your OS. Their propagation slows down performance of PCs and networks, or direct malicious routines will be implemented.
    • Key loggers
Key loggers log any keyboard input without you even noticing, which enables pirates to get their hands on passwords or other important data such as online banking details.
    • Dialers
Dialers are relics from a time when modems or ISDN were still used to go online. They dialed expensive premium-rates numbers and thus caused your telephone bill to reach astronomic amounts, which meant enormous financial damage to you, the poor victim, who did not even know they were there. Dialers have no effect on ADSL or cable connections, which is why they are mostly considered extinct nowadays.
    • Backdoor / Bot
A backdoor is usually a piece of software implemented by the authors themselves that enables access to your PC or any kind of protected function of a computer program. Backdoors are often installed once Trojans have been executed, so whoever attacks your PC will gain direct access to your PC. The infected PC, also called "bot", will become part of a bot net.
    • Exploit
Exploits are used to systematically exploit vulnerabilities of a computer program. Whoever attackes your PC will gain control of your PC or at least of parts of it.
    • Spyware
Spyware is software that spies on you, i.e. collects different user data from your PC without you even noticing.
    • Adware
Adware is derived from "advertisement". Beside the actual function of the software, the user will see advertisements. Adware itself is not dangerous, but tons of displayed adverts are considered a nuisance and thus are detected by good anti-malware solutions.
    • Rootkit
A rootkit mostly consists of several parts that will grant unauthorized access to your PC. Plus, processes and program parts will be hidden. They can be installed, for instance, through an exploit or a Trojan.
    • Rogues / Scareware
Also know as „Rogue Anti-Spyware“ or„Rogue Anti-Virus“, rogues pretend to be security software. Often, fake warnings are used to make you purchase the security software, which the pirates profit from.
    • Ransomware
„Ransom“ is just what you think it is. Ransomware will encrypt personal user data or block your entire PC. Once you have paid the "ransom" through an anonymous service, your PC will be unblocked.
