Arovax Shield 2.1.103

Publisher's description of Arovax Shield

view larger

Arovax Shield is a personal security solution that is unlike to any firewall, anti-virus, or spyware remover. Rather than looking for spyware traces or tracking applications that secretly send or receive data over the Internet, it blocks any attempt by malicious software to add entries to the auto-start menu, change the registry, hijack or install itself into a browser or find any other way to stealthy get itself onto a PC.

Version 2.1.103 now automatically checks malicious adware for removal, unknown items can be sent to the Arovax lab for the further research, and the regular Signature database has also been updated.

  Earlier version ok

  by: Web Bird on 30-Mar-2008 11:29:08 AM

  Pros: Version 1.3.15 worked perfectly.

  Cons: Yesterday I installed v.2.1.103 and it clashed with Winpatrol and Spinach. I had nothing but pop up windows appearing so I had to uninstall it.

  Now I don't have Arovax anymore which is a pity as it worked ok.

  If I can obtain the older version, I'll reinstall it.

  One Hour Nightmare

  by: plasmagamer on 23-Jun-2007 08:48:08 AM

  Pros: None but please read all the pros before downloading this yes its long but when u finish reading it i think u wouldn't install it if u know whats good for u.

  Cons: When i installed the shield it told me to reboot that was when the nightmare started(I should have listened when spycatcher said it may be a rootkit). When i rebooted it the shield said that i did not have the browser installed opera and than my system crashed i was forced to press the reset button. When everything came in place the shield pop out saying that it blocked some cookies from firefox and it crashed again the reset button again. i went crazy thinking the only way to get this out of my system is to do a disk reformatting. When it reseted i turned off all my protection trying to get enough ram to uninstall this thing it kind of work and kind of not i need to reset it at least three times before i got this idea because of the crashes but when i did it only uninstalled half way before it crashed again. i reseted it again but this time it did not crash maybe because i uninstalled the shield i was wrong i only uninstalled it half way so some was still left over and i couldn't uninstalled the rest because the uninstalling file is gone. i could have reinstalled it for the uninstalled file but hell no i am going though that all over again then it came to me my last hope system restore i restored to when i installed it it work yes the nightmare was over expect that a adware was installed called zango but spycatcher got it and removed it i got no viruses but i don't know if you guy will so if i were u i would not even go near this thing.
