New anti-malware protection has entered the PC security market – Tizer Secure. This article will discuss the new anti-malware that is available with 30-days trial.

Introduction

X-Wire Technology introduced Tizer Secure anti-malware on May 2009 with 30-day free trial beta version. It has Advanced Malware Removal Technologies with several types of protection tools.

Installation and System RequirementsRating Excellent

Tizer Secure’s installation process is easy but unlike other anti-malware programs, it requires a reboot before you can use the program. The installer will try to detect for other anti-malware that can conflict with the program. After installation, Tizer Secure does not report itself to Windows Security Center as antivirus or anti-spyware.

Windows XP/Server 2003/2000/Vista are the system requirements in using Tizer Secure. The product requires email registration to enable all the functions in the program.

FeaturesRating Average

Tizer Secure is offering Advanced Malware Removal Technologies: 4 levels of scanning technologies, 8 scanning tools and 18 enhanced protection tools.

The 4 level of scanning technology are:

  • D-Scan – this is similar to signature based scan
  • AHED – this is the advanced heuristic technology
  • R-Scan – a behavioral scan
  • Rootkit Scan – will scan the system for known hidden process that is malicious

The 8 levels of scanning tool that Tizer Secure is offering is similar to other anti-malware programs: On-access, deep, quick, single, on-demand, processes, drive and compression scanning.

Tizer Secure is offering huge number of protection tools by offering monitoring tool for Hosts file, browser and homepage hijacks, LSP, site guard, immunizer, CPU watch, context menu, rootkit, winlogon and many more! Tizer Secure is also offering registry optimizer which is not common feature in anti-malware programs.

Performance and UpdatesRating Poor

Tizer Secure’s updating process is easy to use. It will search for detection database, ActiveX database and application updates.

The commit or virtual memory size for Tizer Secure is 70 to 80MB. When I test Tizer Secure to scan 30 malware samples, it detected 7 only. I allow the program to quarantine the 7 threats but the program’s quarantine feature failed to record or lists the items it has quarantined.

Price to ValueRating Below Average

The program is offered as 30-day free trial beta version. The pricing is not available in vendor’s website with the following information only: “When your 30-day trial expires, you can purchase a license to download and use the newest version of Tizer Secure”.

Conclusion

If you are looking for software that can protect your system and privacy, look for other anti-malware programs because Tizer Secure is currently in beta, no clear pricing and lacking detection ability.

Updated Tizer Secure
This review is of our Tizer Secure™ Beta version. After beta tests, we made several product upgrades based on user feedback, earned Microsoft Windows Vista Certification, filed two provisional patents for new technology concepts and launched Tizer Secure™ with several improved features and technical enhancements.

Our mass customization process sets us apart because it provides each user with a customized internet security solution tailored to his machine, rather than providing the same blanket protection for all users. Users download and install the same application, then it adapts to each user’s needs because threats on one computer may be quite different from the threats on another.

Tizer Secure™ scans a user’s computer with a combination of database, heuristics and behavioral scans to find known and suspected threats. The user may remove the known threats immediately, and use built-in tools to report suspected threats and logs for analysis. As the user keeps sending reports, Tizer Secure™ learns from them and downloads the required personalized updates and instructions through a patent pending process of mass customization that provides personalized protection at an affordable cost. In cases where the needed updates are already available on the server, Tizer Secure™ selects and immediately downloads them via dynamic updating.

Additionally, each Tizer Secure™ user receives the same cloud computing-based periodic updates and robust set of proactive protection tools, which protect against known and unknown threats, defend against fresh attacks at the point of entry, stop registry errors and system crashes, guard private information from hackers, and prevent ID theft.

Recently, our developers have added even more new tools and advanced technologies that provide additional protection.
