ThreatFire™ protects when your antivirus can't. ThreatFire is an application designed to protect your computer against malware such as trojans, spyware, rootkits, keyloggers, and buffer overflows by intelligently detecting and blocking behavior consistent with that of malware. It uses advanced patent-pending technology to detect signs of malicious behavior commonly used by malware threats. ThreatFire is unlike traditional antivirus products that rely on old fashioned "signature" technology and require updating every time a new threat occurs. By constantly monitoring the activity on your PC ThreatFire’s ActiveDefense technology is able to hunt down and paralyze threats that are too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional security software. ThreatFire employs an intelligent behavioral engine to only alert you on truly malicious behavior, because sometimes even legitimate software may look malicious. This means you are only alerted when you really need to be.
PCs are under constant attack from viruses, spyware and identity theft. Every day you hear about a new threat to your PC. They're coming faster than ever before, they're getting harder to stop and traditional antivirus products are not able to keep up. Will your antivirus software catch the latest malware that just came out today? In most cases, no, because it simply does not know how to detect it yet. But ThreatFire's ActiveDefense technology does, and has proven to provide up to 243% more protection when combined with traditional AntiVirus products.
ThreatFire is dramatically different to traditional antivirus software. Normal antivirus products usually need to have first identified and seen a threat before they can provide adequate protection against it. The protection is then provided via a signature or fingerprint update, which must first be written by an antivirus researcher. This creates a large window of time where threats are undetected and can therefore infect your PC even when you have antivirus software installed.
ThreatFire continually protects your PC against attacks by detecting malicious behavior, such as capturing your keystrokes or stealing your data, instead of only looking for known threats like normal antivirus software. By implementing sophisticated real-time behavioral analysis ThreatFire is able to stop never- before-seen "zero-day" threats solely by detecting their malicious activity.
ThreatFire's patent-pending ActiveDefense technology offers protection against all types of internet threats - both known and unknown — spyware, adware, keyloggers, viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, and other malware. ThreatFire uses its unparalleled protection to hunt down and paralyze those threats that are either too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional "signature-based" antivirus software.
ThreatFire Highlights: • Persistent zero-day threat protection made easy for everyone — even novice users! • Perpetually ready for the next malware outbreak, with no signature updates required. • Runs in background without impacting system performance. • NEW! ThreatFire now includes advanced protection features including malware quarantine and removal, rootkit scanner and custom rules settings in both the Free and Pro versions. • Patent-pending ActiveDefense technology intelligently scans and analyzes computer processes to detect and block any malicious activity — without false positives! • Highest level of out-of-the-box accuracy. No need to configure baffling, technical security settings: just turn ThreatFire on and start blocking malware. • Protects against both known and zero-day viruses, worms, trojans, buffer overflows, rootkits and even some spyware. • Works alongside your current security programs — there is no need to uninstall your antivirus, anti-spyware, firewall or other security program before installing ThreatFire. • NEW! ThreatFire Pro includes PC Tools AntiVirus’s on-demand AV scanner, giving you added peace of mind so you can quickly and easily scan your PC for known threats.
Operating System: Windows® 7, Vista™, XP, and 2003.

I´ve tested previous versions in combination with Eset Nod and Malwarebytes AntiMalware for 50 days (that Greek security site said this program is second best in the world ),and finally caught one bad guy- Gom-player?!Than removed it ,and installed IObit´s beta,and-BAM !!! Found 7 spooks !!! If some nearly-no-name- beta-shit can find them,what´s the purpose of having this "second best"?  |

ThreatFire is not a full HIPS. To get a full HIPS protection, it must be used with PC Tools Firewall Plus. ThreatFire & PC Tools Firewall Plus together work exellent on Windows 7 (cca.15 MB RAM usage, almost zero CPU usage). If you add Avira Premium... Free version only lacks of:
- Telephone support
- A permittion to be used in business
ThreatFire MUST be used with PC Tools Firewall Plus! It was designed this way. Together they represent a superbe firewall & HIPS!
Enjoy! |

Small footprint (3mb on Vista 32-bit), good companion to your definition based anti-malware. Sometimes it asks questions only experienced users or IT pros can answer. When you install this software on a totally infested system, you'll see how good it is at stopping active malware. |

I tried this Crap the other day and it does nothing that KIS already does, together with MalwareBytes, so in plain English, Threatfire is a Waste of time!!  |

Midnight, the biggest stupidity I've ever heard! Why it's a piece of crap? Just like that? You don't like tis interface? I'm using ThreatFire with PC Tools since Win 7 Beta came out and it works perfectly! The lightest, the best (it must be used together with PC Tools Firewall Plus; it was made that way). And I know what I'm talking about, 'cause I'm administrator in a security's forum, so I'm handling/testing apps every day... By the way, KIS became way overbloated... Malwarebytes can be used ONLY as a removal tool. It's detection rate is below 5% otherwise...

Panic, Careful there, lamer....you're commenting about someone who's forgotten more about warez than you will ever know! I did say that I tried Threatfire, which is a small AV and nothing more. KIS does a better job of detecting And removing Viruses and other nasties than ThreatFire can ever do and NO, MalwareBytes is a Detection AND Removal too and it's detection rate is more like 95%, so you're wrong again! However, IF you like it, fine. Use it. I know better and at least I checked it out and found it to to useless, since I have KIS and MalwareBytes! Get an education, learn about warez before critisizing and posting stupid comments as you just did!!! Damn!! Stupid, ignorant kids everywhere!! Why does it have to be used Together with another Utility, if it's so good? So, you're another wanna-be techie and like most, you don't have a clue what you're talking about!! Go back to IT school and learn the proper way!! I'm not going to waste any more of my time responding to a moron wanna-be excuse for a so-called Administrator. Most of you clowns don't know your A S S E S from a hole in the ground, anyways!!  |

First of all, ThreatFire is NOT an antivirus, but a non-completed HIPS...
That's why it should be used together with PC Tools Firewall (check out Matousec for combine results).No, I didn't wanted to be rude, but I simply hate if someone prejudicates anything.I see you're more than an idiot!Yes, it should be used together...Why it didn't, I don't know, b ut together they represent one of the best HIPS around.Bytheway, "child", I'm 36 years old and I'm 2 years an administrator in a security forum. I would hardly finish in high position, if I were an idiot, right, child?You wanna know if that's true? Check out SSUpdater forum...I have the same name.Pezzo di merda... |
