Hey guys, been a while. Well anyway, I'm trying to find out if any of you have any experience with Roboscan ? I know it's like the equivalent of ALYac antivirus used by Virus Total. I'm trying it out now and it is very, very light on resources and no computer slowdown at all. It also uses the default Tera engine and the Bitdefender engine. All's good so far, I was just wondering if there's any nasty surprises coming my way by using it. Thanks.

 

Hey driver_ian, thanks for getting back to me so quick. Buddy I know all the rules, I was just wondering if there were any reports on this AV as being good, but then in a little time it starts, eating your system alive. To me the program seems outdated but the Tera and Bitdefender engines are updating as is the all the definitions, but support is non existent and the homepage seems like it hasn't been touched or tended to in a couple years. I was wondering if I should tell people to keep it or, keep away from it.

 

Very light on resources. I have sent you a PM so that you can see how it stands up in testing..... I would personally pair it with something like this, you can run these alongside each other, if you do install SecureAPlus then decline the offline AV since you have RoboScan, with the two of them together you should have pretty solid security on your machine. SecureAplus uses whitelisting and when you try and execute any file on your machine it is ran through virus total automatically for you.

RoboScan is no the greatest against adware but it is a solid IMO. Pairing these two together will be very light on system and each will pick up what the other lacks.

SecureAPlus-Cloud-based Antivirus.

 

Can I also add something to your security schema, and that is regular image backups. Remember if you don't care to backup, you don't care about your data.

 

Thanks guys. Nothing like hearing from the Gods of Wisdom.
