Rising Antivirus Free

I was unaware that kaspersky used this approach.  The closest I came from using that antivirus software was when AOL had Active virus shield.  IMHO that was my favorite Anti-virus until it was cancelled.

Hey thinks on the info for this AV... I wasn't using anything for awhile, still waiting for CAV3. You seem to think highly of this AV, so I'll give it a go out of curiosity and keep until CAV3 is out.

Oh maybe I won't use it.. It tells me prior to installation it may conflict with CPF, are you experiencing any problems with it?

I've tried it with CPF3, no problems

Hi MJ1988, same answer as Kyle, no conflicts whatsoever with CFP3, give it full permissions on install, disable email scan only during the installation it's somewhat buggy with POP email, the rest is fine.

AOL active virus shield was based on Kasperky.
Other Hips using software I know : Drivesentry

[at] MJ1988 : Normally there should be no conflict

Hey thanks!

This is a pretty niffty AV... It is also low on memory like you said. Did you enable the start up scanning feature? I did, because I thought it would allow me to change options later. I'm fiddling with it right now going through the settings, is there anyway to turn off start up scanning?



But I still want CAV3!  (L)

Hi MJ1988, I have left the startup scan enabled as you can see but if you prefer to disable it go to settings in menu header, then go detailed settings to Customized Task Settings, see attached:

My only complaints about Rising so far, is that it was detecting some of my driver downloads as possible virus signatures.

It also detected some files in the latest DirectX release as virus, or malware signatures. Its obviously a false positive I ignored of course I downloaded it directly from microsoft.

But other than that, Rising AV uses slightly less than 3MB of memory. The scanning is effective and runs at a pretty good speed. The interface is also nice and sleek, but the options and advanced settings would be confusing for the less experienced users.

Hi MJ1988, are you thinking of keeping Rising AV till CIS is released and roadtested by forum members? Are you really satisfied with it so far? I'm keeping it till CIS final is released...

Hey Xman

I'm going to keep Rising on my computer until a good stable and bug free version of CAV3, and CIS are released. However I will install CAV3 as soon as it is released to my laptop, along with CIS to test it out and help Comodo track down bugs. Also I'm very anxious to finally use the long waited CAV3!

So far I'm satisfied with Rising AV. It runs well with low memory usage, nice interface, fast to start up, have on full settings with no conflicts with CFP so I have some pretty good layered protection. Not only that the Active Defense has some really nice features!

My only complaint is that may detect occasional false positives.

So yeah, Rising AV is pretty nice I recommend people should try it out if they're getting sick of avast! and Avira.

Cheers

I installed the direct x update with Rising disabled because I was a afraid hips would give me trouble installing. No probs here. Done a scan no false positives here. The direct x I installed was from july or something?  Is there a new ver out that triggers Rising ?

[Kyle]

Bump.

Does anyone have some new reviews ?

[RayOfHope]

I tried Rising Antivirus Free, however, mysteriously my computer got infected within 24 hrs of install, plus my computer was so freakin buggy it wasn't even funny.  In order to fix it, I needed to resort to a backup of my OS.
