A new product from the Spyware terminator people...what do you think?

I've been a Spyware terminator user for sometime now and believe it's a great piece of software. I have recently stumbled upon another program from the same makers, are there any other members using this program and if so what do you think?

Take a look at http://www.system-protect.com/default.aspx

Nice enough, but: it grants the same protection Windows will grant if run in a limited user account; and CFP's Defense+ already does what it does --and both could conflict. However I've just read the linked page, so my idea about what it does is not so precise.

As far as I can see : It isn't a HIPS, so why should it conflict with Defence+  The option to protect selected files and folders could be interesting That is something Defence+ ( or any other HIPS ) doesn't do Although I haven't try the program ( yet ).

Okay, here's what it says about "protecting selected files":

System Protect allows you to pick files and folders that you want to protect from deletion such as important documents, your favorite music, photos from your vacation, movies or any other files that you do not want to lose.

Actually, Defense+ does this. If you go to My Protected Files and add *.extension, it will protect all files with that extension. Add some folder, and all files in that folder will be protected. Add the famous *.* and you'll be alerted before ANYTHING gets deleted.

Yes Rednose, as Ragwing says protecting files (default or custom ones) is not the only thing Defense+ does, but it's one of them.
