herdProtect Anti-Malware Scanner (similar to VirusTotal)

#1 Post by abc »

herdProtect is a second line of defense malware scanning platform powered by 68 anti-malware engines in the cloud. Since no single anti-malware program is perfect 100% of the time, herdProtect utilizes a 'herd' of multiple engines to guarantee the widest coverage and the earliest possible detection. As a second line of defense anti-malware solution, herdProtect is designed to run with any existing anti-virus program already installed on a user's PC.

I'm curious how it handles false positives. Some kind of ratio system like VirusTotal?

From the download page:
We are currently not distributing herdProtect at this time, if you would like to be placed on the waiting list, please email us at download@herdProtect.com. We are looking to re-release the software in the coming weeks.
Weird.

EDIT: I contacted the group about the registry write.
