    Let's use the term anti-malware instead

    in Brainstorming

    Posted

    Instead of Anti-Virus, Anti-Trojan and Anti-Spyware, the term Anti-malware would be more precise because most of the security software that are used in computers, try to protect against all kinds of malware and not just viruses alone

    Malware comprises of trojans, viruses, spyware, adware, worms, ransomware and all other malicious software and so it's better to use the term anti-malware instead

     

    AIDA64 detects eScan Total Security as an anti-virus but not as an anti-trojan or an anti-spyware whereas actually it is an anti-malware and therefore, it acts as an anti-trojan and an anti-spyware too

    It detects K7 Ultimate Security and Kaspersky Internet Security just as anti-viruses too but like I said, they are not just anti-virus software but complete anti-malware just like eScan is

     

    It will be a nice idea to club all these subcategories under anti-malware

     

    So I was basically thinking of an option called anti-malware which could be hyperlinked and once clicked, it should bring up those subcategories

    For instance, if I install Kaspersky Internet Security and I click the anti-malware hyperlink in AIDA64, here's what I should see

    Anti-Trojan - Kaspersky Internet Security
    Anti-Virus - Kaspersky Internet Security
    Anti-Spyware - Kaspersky Internet Security

     

    Similarly if I install just an anti-spyware, the same subcategories should appear but this time, the name of the anti-spyware should show up only for anti-spyware and not the other ones as illustrated below

    Anti-Trojan - Blank 
    Anti-Virus - Blank

    Anti-Spyware - name of the anti-spyware

    If both the anti-malware and anti-spyware are installed on the same computer, it should look like this

     

    Anti-Trojan - name of the anti-malware
    Anti-Virus - name of the anti-malware

    Anti-Spyware - name of the anti-spyware & name of the anti-malware

     

    I hope you get the point






     

    fixed: Now, AIDA64 is not detecting eScan Total Security Suite

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    AIDA64 did detect eScan anti-malware products earlier and I've verified that personally but with the latest beta release, it's not detecting the software anymore

    I've attached a screenshot just in case. I am using AIDA64 version 5.60.3709 Beta 

    One other anti-malware that AIDA64 does not detect is Zemana anti-malware premium which offers real-time protection 

    Kindly let me know when this will be fixed. Thanks
