Amazing piece of software, I got the interface converted for mac but unfortunately can not get the engine working. Could use some features like reports...etc, they connected to the database but just the main purpose for the program. Additionally it is nice to see a forum on the Defendos website for help, support or queries but unfortunately we can not register:

The first thing I got on chrome, I will still see how it goes



Installed it
First one was I had to enter the activation key 3 times to get it start.

Just a suggestion. If you are looking for serious beta testing and help then head over to wilderssecurity.com. That is a anti-malware + computer security discussion forum. They will help you out with development (where necessary) and help you test out your app quite thoroughly.

@MrOSX, Fixed.

@Suhel,
That's normal with a new file. And you don't install it, just extract. Normally it will ask the license key only once. Let me know how it goes further.


@CloudShadow,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's needed. There are some serious smartasses out there which I don't want their opinion from. This application works totally different than anti-malware tools used on that site.
I may post it there later on. Thanks again CS.

Does it need to run in background to keep protecting?
btw the memory usage is bit high compare to the current one, I am running

[l0calh0st]

The memory usage is 27MB, still 50% lesser than Dropbox and Malwarebytes. The CPU usage is 0%.

And yes it needs to be running in background.

[MediaStar]

this is better then MSE?

[weena]

this is better then MSE?

No its not

[l0calh0st]

Thanks for your reply Hyperz.

Well Ive added a Hosts Customizer function so the user can insert his own custom hosts rules. It saves that info locally and appends the Defendos signatures after every update.

The main purpose of this app is that it prevents users to get their system infected (ofcourse not all). Its not something like a realtime scanner. Even better, if the hosts file gets injected by a virus it won't affect long term because everytime you enable/disable/update/restart Defendos takes a fresh copy of the hosts file and patches again.

Hope that its a bit clear now

Thanks
