For when an upgrade?

[Atomas31]

Hi,

I just want to know when to you expect to work on Wormguard 4. Right now, you have worked on PG 3.150, than you are suppose to have worked on TDS-4 (wich was discontinue), after you have work on PE 2.1 and you are now telling that you are working back on PG... So when are you or do you expect to work on Wormguard 4?

Thank you,
Atomas31

[Blackcat]

Bumped.

I would also like to see an official response to this question.

[smartypants]

In my opinion, people need to realize that fact that this version 4 update may never happen. They have been at version three for the past 3 years and not a stinking thing has manifested. Let me say that again: THEY HAVE BEEN AT VERSION THREE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS AND VERSION 4 IS STILL VAPORWARE.....Hello people, anyone home, are you reading me? Why in the heck would you invest in a program that has the same track record as TDS-3. If you truely like the program for what it is now, go for it, but if you want to buy it for the promised "FREE Version 4 upgrade" and get burnt, you only have yourself to blame. I would wait if I were you.

I'm very excited about the new version of Wormguard, I've already developed its primary engine and have managed to improve the hooking quality quite a bit, but overall it still needs a bit of work to become production quality. However, before I release that we still have a new update of ProcessGuard, as well as our new website with quite a few new free tools, as well as a new major program that also is nearly complete, so it's going to be an exciting few months ahead! :)

[Rainwalker]

I'm excited.........are you excited

[Brandon]

Thanks Wayne for the heads up ;) cant wait!!!

Thanks, Wayne. :D As a matter of fact I was just asking about what might be on the horizon in another thread. Guess I should have read a few more threads before asking. :-[

Sure wish you would use your website's email system to notify subscribers. Just a thought.... ;)

[tuatara]

I'll wait and see, still a very happy customer here.
and i think i have an idea on what to expect, i know what kind of knowledge
there is in DCS ..

[HappyShopper]

Wormguard ain't broke and don't need fixing. An upgrade would be nice, but not essential.

[JClaude]

You guys still go for that ?????
Haven't we heard this promisses over and over and over again already ????
I do not believe a single word of this, and will only change my mind when I see a download link on the website!!
DCS has led us with false promisses way too long and lost any "credibility" when it comes about of launching new/updated software!
"oh I am so excited I am going P in my pants..." how gullible are you guys??

Promises? More than one? I am aware of the TDS fiasco. Is there another you refer to?

Regarding my affinity for DCS products, it's only because THEY WORK, and they WORK WELL. ;)

A picture can paint a thousand words ...

[worldcitizen]

I'd say we're looking at a March/April Wormguard 4 POSSIBLE release at the earliest because DCA still haven't finished it yet and have other software being upgraded and completed so middle of next year probably at the earliest or even later but going by past history earlier is most UNlikely.

Don't get your expectation up for 2005 because you'll only be let down. I guess it will be released well into 2006 and have no expectations of a W4 release this year. That is a virtual impossibility.

Why the concern over the lack of an upgrade. Is there a problem with your WormGuard ???, mine seems to be working fine.I suspect that many companies repeatedly "upgrade" their products for the sole purpose of securing more money from their customers. At the end of the day "don't fix it if it ain't broken".

Amen to that. If WG3 stops being able to do what its supposed to then it'll be time to demand WG4. Until then what's the problem?

Agreed. Behind NOD32, it's my most trusted and critical piece of security software in my arsenal. And while I do like improvements, unless they have a major impact, I say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". ;)

Yeah I was wondering if WormGuard was broken or something. It`s still working great for me so I guess I can wait for the update. This year or next. :)

[Wayne - DiamondCS]

We've already released an update for Port Explorer, next is an update for ProcessGuard, then the release of our newly-designed website, complete with many new free tools, then the release of a new program which we've mostly completed already, then will come a brand new version of WormGuard completely redesigned and rewritten from the ground up. :) All existing licenseholders will be able to upgrade to the new version for free

[Mr.Blaze]

::) you know as a person you rock i would defingly want you on my side beside my wineing and b&*(*&^* all the time wich i feel is just

i like you and dcs guys espechialy jason as a consumer im your worst nightmare its nothing personal id buy you all a beer afterwards.

Hey Blazo...........Food for Thought..

POSITIVE ASPECTS OF THE ARIES MAN'S PERSONALITY: Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, and men born under it like to be first in whatever they do. These men are pioneers and inventors. They have leadership ability both because of their tremendous physical energy and because of their ability to inspire others to action. They are always moving forward with enthusiasm and expectation. Each day is a new adventure for them. They do not dwell on the past, as they are too busy moving into the future. The Aries man has a great deal of physical energy. He requires less sleep than others and loves being active. He accomplishes a great deal because he will rise to any challenge. There is nothing that he will not try, and if he can compete with someone else at the same time, so much the better. He doesn't shy away from difficulties but meets them head on, dealing with them as quickly as he can so that he can get on with his life. The Aries man has great optimism about any and every venture in which he is involved. He inspires those around him with his optimism and quick wit. He goes after what he wants in life and usually gets if, for he sees anything between him and his goal as a challenge rather than an obstacle. The man born under the sign of Aries is straightforward and open. There is no deviousness or guile within him. His optimism and enthusiasm together with his vitality keep him young throughout his life. He gets excited about everything around him and wants to experience everything in life. There is nothing that seems impossible for him to achieve. He is popular and has an active social life as he provides an example to others of how life out to be lived.

NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THE ARIES MAN'S PERSONALITY: Swept up in his own enthusiasm, the Aries person can move so quickly toward his goal that he is callous or inconsiderate of those around him. He is impatient with slower-moving people, and in his frustration at being slowed down he can be sharp-tongued. He speaks before he thinks and so is often tactless. The negative Aries is too impulsive. He jumps into things without thinking and leaves them as fast. Such a person leaves a trail of unfinished projects in his wake. He also leaves behind hurt feelings and bruised egos. He hears only what he wants to hear, and doesn't let fact interfere with his fantasy. He has two ways of viewing things: his way and the wrong way. He can be very destructive if he doesn't get his own way. But he can overcome these negative traits by making a point of being sensitive to the needs of others.

smartypants,
I got a real kick out of your post. I know you are pissed, but it was really funny. smartypants, although you are correct, as I do feel the same way, I am happy to read the more recent posts that mention the upcoming updated version of WormGuard.
I'm still laughing.

Everyone have a Safe, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year. I would like to see an end to global hostilities.

What a day. I got hit by trojans yesterday and my PC kept rebooting, then the task manager was greyed out so I couldn't stop it. Don't know how I got infected except that I spent all day re-installing. Couldn't get my email or download manager to work.

I got notices about worms and trojans from my AV but nothing from Wormguard at all so an update might help.

Dave" }-Dave,
Firstly sorry to hear that you have been having troubles, but to be fair to DCS here a "trojan" isn't always a worm so is this something you should expect WG to be doing?

Something like RegDefend would have alerted you to the registry changes prior to them happening. If the reboots didn't happen as soon as the changes happened then the polling registry monitors would probably have had a fair chance of letting you know as well

It might be worth considering adding some registry protection of some form or other to your setup, there are plenty of products that do it now (with various levels of protection and cost).

On a lighter note you might appreciate this Escher print of Relativity, its got the damndest corners....

I had worms as well as trojan alerts so I only expected Wormguard to alert or intercept the worms of course not the trojans. Anyway it's all over now except that I can't backup my PC with True Image 8. All it gives me are corrupt images everytime I test them so it's just not my day. Hope my year is better. LOL

Sorry Dave....many of use know your pain.........when you write reinstalling do you mean Windows ? If so did you reformat prior to doing so?

[worldcitizen]

-{ Quote: "Sorry Dave....many of use know your pain.........when you write reinstalling do you mean Windows ? If so did you reformat prior to doing so?" }-

Yes I had to do a full re-install of Windows and I did a long format of the hard drive. Installed Process Guard 3.2 on the new installation but had problems with it and had to uninstall it. True Image 8 is very buggy so I am left without any backup solution for the time being.

Hmm. Many people who use these forums do not have English as a first language. Are we going to ignore their questions because of this?

Yeah Kegel, get real..........who kares ! ::)

[Vikorr]

Just curious about my understanding about WormGuard. I was under the belief that WG protects from scripts (that make a call to Windows Scripting Host), but does not include those scripts that are interpreted by your browser ?

So my understanding is that it is useful against script based worms that attempt to come through your email, IM (I think) or when you are installing a program (which would actually make it a trojan I suppose).

Please correct me if I am wrong.

The moment of glory for WormGuard 4 began in 2002. It is now 2006. Did DiamondCS lose their best programmer? Is it possible for DiamondCS to update WormGuard? I've had the same program for the last three years. Every program to my knowledge gets an update. WormGuard gets a wish.

C'mon DiamondCS, wake up. It's 2006 and your customers are still waiting. You ppl should take a lesson from Agnitum. At least they listen to their base of support. DiamondCS just plays "Dream On".


Year 2007 is on the horizon.

I'm very disappointed too mate but my advice to you is to just forget about it. You got the program you paid for so just be happy with that if you can.

[Carver]

Huh, DCS still hasn't updated wormguard. I hope WormGuard isn't turning into another TDS-4. :gack:

[Jooske]

Guess all energy is in PG at the moment. Let's just wait and see what happens.

[Saint Satin Stain]

Jooske, howdy, and howdy other wild folk,

If there is an update to Wormguard, I hope that it isn't a kitchen sink one like some, e.g. System Mechanic, which developed beyond their area of expertise. I Want Wg to protect against scripts that I don't use or need to use, and a few peripheral phages. The interface could use some improvement, but that's a minor matter. Dare I say it? I installed PG on a computer that I use as a server and installed on this one (using now) Prevx1. My core security now is Wormguard, Port Explorer, ewido, Prevx1, Trojan Remover, and ZoneAlarm Internet Security. Wormguard still works fine if you add some of the newbie phages.
I know the feeling of sorta falling in love with a company, then discover it is powered by humans. I was saddened by the demise of TDS-3. I have a new love now, ewido; she has beaten Prevx1 to the punch most times to protect me. We live on. I waited for awhile waiting for some issue out of DiamondCS, but with a shrug of my brain I moved on with ewido. If you tire of waiting for an upgrade to Wormguard seek the answer some other place. Verbal attacks on DiamondCS, no matter how loving, is a waste of time.
Maybe DiamondCS should just work three product lines, or fewer; some large companies do that. Work your area of expertise. Zonelabs did that. When they wanted to add an antivirus, they didn't fumble out one; they licensed the technology from Computer Associates. They acquired the technology from Mailfrontier for spamfilter. Zonelabs has basically stayed around firewall tech.
I have plans for a new computer to be protected by ZoneAlarm, Prevx1, and Spybot S&D. My bud, DatumMain, has this; he swears by it.

I understand a crush on small and medium companies that produce good, useful programs. Even large ones. I stalked JV16 through freeware into commercial. Many small companies have had, or felt they had, to sell to larger companies to survive. Superwin Software is basically one person, the programmer. I believe that his spouse, and two others, a rep for USA and one for overseas are the complete company. He has four products, including a trash file cleaner and a registry cleaner, a registry backup (crash recovery)tool, and a file transplanter. His programs ain't pretty but they work well. There are about nine or ten companies whose products I buy. I have only discarded one: Iolo.
Today is election day, the primaries, I have to shower and go vote. I can vote either in the democratic or republican primary. Which should I, a flaming libertarian, vote in? Tell me in the open to anything forum. Peace, forumors, and Jooske.
