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.
~Cheers
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.

Hey guys just popping in…
AOL active virus shield was based on Kasperky.
Other Hips using software I know : Drivesentry
@ 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)
(:KWL)
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:

Oh lol. For some reason that was the only tab I never clicked hahahaha… Seems like the solution is always the simplest! Anyway thanks! >.>

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 ?
Bump.
Does anyone have some new reviews ?
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.
Seems to run rather nice, 2 issues :
- No excludes for files - thus sched scans are stopping at same false positives over and over (and unlike Avira, resolution is not fast …).
- Stop scan of archived file (if enabled) - won’t work (I waited over 30 minutes) if system is low on virtual mem. Resolved by boot.
It detected few missed (by Avira and most free online scanners, including KAV, Bitdefender, Trend Micro and more) trojans.
All in all I like it and it will remain my dev box AV (“production” runs Avira).
Hello again everyone
Since I was running the 6 month trial at work. Like 2 weeks ago it updated to Rising 2009. As soon as I’ll get the chance I’ll be comenting on the new features. But for now, a teaser.

I don’t think I want to try this after reading:
http://remove-malware.com/anti-malware-reviews/rising-antivirus-prevention…yikes…/
Hijacking is usually a spyware category. Most brands of known antiviruses fail to protect well in this area. Still this test doesn’t explain how it was done and what settings were used. I think that if you tweak Rising’s settings you can pretty much be protected against usual hijacks.
Anyways leaving that aside I’m going to talk about Rising 2009:
One nice feature that’s introduced in this version is autorun protection. Users will receive an alert when an aplication launches automatically. For example a usb with an autorun.
http://a.imagehost.org/view/0601/Rising_2009_auto_run_protection
The vulnerability scan seems to have been renamed to Rising Antispyware and is a separate download. I don’t know if it’s free. For those that don’t know. The vulnerability scan was a feature that scanned your OS to see if you missed important security updates from Microsoft.
Another nice feature is that it can create a boot disk now
http://a.imagehost.org/view/0620/Rising_2009_tools
It has a new back up boot sector option.
http://a.imagehost.org/view/0393/Rising_2009_Boot_sector
Program Start up, Aplication Protection and Aplication Access Control have been merged in just Aplication Control where you put rules to aplications there, registry permisions, file/folder permissions etc.
http://a.imagehost.org/view/0084/Rising_2009_aplication_control
The System Reinforcement alerts are different now
http://a.imagehost.org/view/0570/Rising_Alerts
And so Virus Alerts. Going to the details will get you to the Rising website for info about the virus. In chinese though >.<
http://a.imagehost.org/view/0712/Rising_Alerts2
Rising 2009 seems to be good so far. The engine doesn’t seem to have changed much since scanning is a bit slow still. Another thing I don’t like is that the Active Defense /System Reinforcement alerts have a countdown that seems to go faster than in Rising 2008. It doesn’t leave you much time to analize the alert. But other than that it’s still a competitive product.
I tried it causing problems with my email could not connect, even tried what they suggested was not working. Also causing problems with my digital mouse on my laptop - synoptic.
So I uninstalled it and went back to using Avast. I tired AVG 8.0 it was giving me false positives. Any one tried Comodo Internet Security how is the antivirus compared to AVG, AVAST, AVIR or Rising. To bad they are not doing this in a portable version
