What is a good heuristic detection program?

[Guest Bomb123]

Hello, currently i have installed in my computer:Bullguard 10, mbam, super antispyware, spybot search and destroy, ad-aware free, emco malware destroyer and hitman pro but i feel like i want to add some heuristic detection and virus detection program that would run together with bullquard without causing problems is there any such program? Those other programs i have are the free version so they dont have real time guard.

To me it looks like you have enough protection as it is

[IDKWatMNShouldBe]

yea, i actually only have me, bitdefender, and malwarebytes pro running to protect my pc...

but i would replace bullguard with something better, since it isnt a good AV.

Also i wouldnt use spybot search and destroy, there isnt really a point.

and i never heard about emco malware destroyer.

ok, i juse researched emco malware destroyer and isnt that a anti-virus? if it is, u shouldn't have 2 anti-viruses on ur pc.

I may be somewhat biased, but Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware has excellent heuristics in my opinion . The paid version is also very proactive in preventing infections in other ways, such as the malicious website blocking component.

It means "I agree".

In Post #6 above I quoted Exile and added the +1 meaning I agree with what he said. The rest are just agreeing to that as well....

Thanks for the replies. Is threatfire from pctools worth a crap? Is there any other similar programs than threatfire that would work along with the antivirus?

@Bomb123: you may have Winpatrol Free, an USB antivirus like No Autorun, an antiexecutable software or Behavioral Blocker like Threatfire. IMO ad-aware free and emco malware destroyer are pretty useless. But you may keep EMCO as it is a portable scanner. Adaware free will offer no great protection other than slowing down your system.

Plus Ad-Aware now has a AV engine built in it (Sunbelt) so it may conflict with your AV.

I agree w/ Exile & everyone that agreed with him; Malwarebytes has excellent heuristics!

I removed adaware and malwaredestroyer. Adaware was slowing my computer quite much. Now i have for my realtime protection avast free and zonealarm free. Is it too much if i add threatfire to those i have like 512 mb ram in my computer...

Have anyone else experienced problems like when you go to a website with firefox that has the noscript installed that the file requestwatchdog.js script dont respond you can wait for it to complete or cancel it? What might cause this? Also some other -js file causes these messages like the chrome/toolbox.jar or something like that...

threatfire might make your system heavy. Just a suggestion. You may install Comodo firewall with Avast.
