According to their own website (http://www.safensoft.us/security.phtml?c=615), their security product "Safe'n'Sec Personal Pro" is only average in comparison with other proactive virus-scanners.

Come on, not again... please...

The Safe`n`Sec for the third time, now with another AV integrated (the VBA 32). If you take a look around the internet, you'll find the VBA 32 has average reliability and protection.

Sorry, I don't trust either.

Here's a site that shows the performance of the VBA 32 antivirus scanner. http://www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02

I downloaded this last time with the dr web scanner,used it for a week and went back to avira and online armour,the anti-virus part is on-demand scan only not real-time and everytime you install a new program or update one its best to turn the safe an sec protection off otherwise things dont install properly,also the firewall that it says it has is invisible there is no mention of it in the program options and there is no configure options to really speak about either,keep away there is a lot better out there for free.

Hi folks!

So Safe'n Sec 2009 as GAOTD once again ....how many times has GAOTD TEAM released this SW over the past few weeks??

Safe'n Sec 2009 Deluxe didn't get any serious and good security-software reviews till now, so it doesn't look like a good security software in comparison with others out there.

Having said that, I usually prefer stand-alone antivirus, antispyware, and firewall products (as long as they are FREE of course…LOL!) rather than all in one solution security suites such as this GAOTD.

So, unless we are talking about top level (and expensive) security suites such as NORTON, BITDEFENDER, PANDA, AVIRA, KASPERSKY or ZONE ALARM, my suggestion is to install stand-alone security products (preferably FREE of course!!), since opting for three or more separate security applications lets us pick the best of breed in each category.

Below are the BEST FREEWARE PROGRAMS of my knowledge which can guarantee a GREAT PROTECTION of our system FOR FREE:

Firewall: ONLINE ARMOR (alternatives: COMODO, OUTPOST or ZONE ALARM)

Antivirus : AVIRA 9 (alternatives: AVAST or AVG)

Antispyware on demand scanner: A-Squared 4.5 + ADVANCED SYSTEM PROTECTOR Free edition

Preemptive Spyware Prevention: SPYWARE BLASTER

Antirootkit on demand: GMER (or alternatively PANDA ANTIROOTKIT and/or ROOTKIT REVELAER)

Antikeylogger to add on AVIRA 9: SAFESPACE + KEY SCRAMBLER, a revolutionary plug-in Web browser which encrypts your keystrokes so that if a keylogger picks it up it has no idea what the keystrokes are….how cool is that?? LOL!!

Antiphishing applications: MCAFEE SITE ADVISOR + NETCRAFT TOOLBAR + LINK EXTEND (for FIREFOX USERS only)

HIPS (optional): THREATFIRE, WIN PATROL, PROCESSGUARD Free, WINPATROL, SAMURAI (very good program despite being pretty unknown: http://turbotramp.fre3.com/), COMODO BOCLEAN (excellent hacker proof software: http://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.html), AROVAX SHIELD, GeSWall (or SANDBOXIE)

Please note that since the new AVIRA AntiVir 9 is now able to detect in real time even spyware and adware, antispyware real-time applications such as this GAOTD or THREATFIRE, SPYWARE TERMINATOR are no longer necessary…LOL!!!

As far as KEY SCRAMBLER is concerned, according to its developer, this program defeats KEYLOGGERS (YES, you heard me right guys!! LOL!!) by encrypting your keystrokes at the keyboard driver level, but the best part of this program is that, when the encrypted keystrokes reach your browser, KEY SCRAMBLER decrypts them so that you and no one else can see exactly the keys you’ve typed.

In fact, as everybody knows (or at least should know…LOL!!), when we type on our keyboard, the keys travel along a path within the OS before arriving at our browser, with the tragic consequence that Keyloggers plant themselves along this path observing and recording everything we type, allowing CRIMINALS to get access on sensitive data such as passwords, credit card or bank account number that they usually use to steal money from the bank account of their (often unaware) victims.

Now, thanks to KEY SCRAMBLER, Keyloggers can only record the encrypted keystrokes, meaning that any intruder (hacker, lamer or cracker) will never be able to read what you type on your keyboard as encrypted keystrokes are completely indecipherable to them!!!

How cool is that?? LOL!!

Of course, it’s well known that any security program is far from perfect and it’s likely that sooner or later there will be a KEYLOGGER that will defeat KEY SCRAMBLER, but since this has not occured till now, KEY SCRAMBLER is a MUST HAVE application that everybody should have installed on their browser as extra protection against keyloggers.

You can download the FREE VERSION of this LITTLE GEM here:

Finally, to make sure you don’t suffer from a dangerous OUTDATED security application, whose failed update can cause a serious security risk on your system, there is a nice desktop application called “SECUNIA PSI” which is in my humble view the most useful and important free application everybody should run on their machine as it checks in depth your PC for insecure programs exposing you to security threats showing you the latest security (FREE) updates and patches available for download from the program vendors themselves!

Hope you found my comment interesting and informative.

Enjoy!!

Cheers from Italy!
