Anyone use ThreatFire?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Anyone use ThreatFire?

I noticed when running the free version of ThreatFire by PC Tools:
http://www.threatfire.com
..that it doesn't like BlitzMaxs "ld.exe". It complains about it modifying executables. And even when I add it to the exception list, BlitzMax compiled executables don't run at all (with no complaints from BlitzMax), until I suspend its protection.

Also, sometimes it complains about Blitz3Ds "ide.exe" trying to keylog.

Anyone else noticed this?

ThreatFire is basically set up to find an unknown threat and to be very fussy about it. It is technically right about Blitz3D's IDE - it is technically a keylogger. I don't use BMax enough to understand but, with all the modules and things it uses, I can understand it being mistaken as a threat - it already probably suspects it as a keylogger.

I might download this ThreatFire thing.

In what way is it a keylogger? When I type something in another window, nothing I've typed appears in the B3D IDE window. So why would it be logging keypresses when it doesn't have focus? And how can I confirm that?

ld.exe is the mingw linker to make executable, maybe that's why it's "modifying executables".

Try to make a exe from mingw tools and see if same alert happens...

It only complains about Blitz3D very rarely when I perhaps try and type before the app has finished closing. Can't remember exactly, but definitely when perhaps another window/gadget has focus.

I wasn't surprised about the ld.exe thing in Bmax, but I was surprised that it still managed to suppress compilation when I added it to the exception list.
