Anti-virus that works for life and require no update?

jasperchc · 22nd May 2008, 01:38 PM

Extract from their website Rudra Technoloigies , no update required ever? is that possible?

Quote:

Rudra offers protection against all forms of malicious software’s - viruses, spy ware, crime ware, worms and trojans. The experts at Rudra have created one of the most innovative technology in detecting malicious code in an 'Unknown State'.

Rudra ("Patent pending", USPTO) technology is unique and does not use any virus signatures and therefore no periodic updates required. It offers comprehensive protection against past, present and future viruses and thereby providing total protecting from malware.

The increasing sophistication of viruses and its variants has led to higher risk of infection, and has increased the efforts in pattern extraction to cope with such variants. Since these infections can cause immediate and serious damage, Rudra fills this gap with an accurate detection technology that can prevent this damage by detecting unknown viruses.

Sure will need update .. at least when you upgrade OS then you need to update compatibility of software ..

Woah..Seems not bad..somehow rather it reminds me of Vista UAC

belikethat · 22nd May 2008, 09:58 PM

guess detection rate would be rather low

I highly doubt that this A/V can get by without any updates ever... very skeptical about this

Probably based on heuristic scanning. Most anti-virus software use that too, to detect new or unknown viruses.

No doubt it will make a lot of false positives.
We should see it in some AV Comparatives soon I hope.

There doesn't seem to be any comparison sites out there yet that have tested and published their results with Rudra.
I have read a few complaints frrom end users though about it.

Here's a few things that I found:
Rudra only supports DPI setting of 96 (so it'll look like rubbish on a big monitor)
Rudra only supports automatic updates (OS) manual OS updates are NOT supported. ... Remember XP SP3?
Rudra doesn't appear to prompt the user, or allow the user to decide if a program/installation is safe...
Rudra deletes files written by some installers during installation, effectively disabling the program... (ATI driver installation included)

Seems like the Antivirus that requires no update, may actually require an update already to fix a few major bugs!

I'll stay clear of it for now I think.....

Anti virus will work for life and require no update IF and only IF

The existing av program can detect ALL virus up to date and no one has come up with new type of virus which I doubt
