[moontan]

i'm trialling Rollback RX.
i'm currently using Shadow Defender and loving it but i'm always looking at the competition.

so far i'm liking it a lot but it'll take a few days to make sure.
Rollback RX is like a souped-up Windows System Restore on steroids and a faster way to restore an "image", or snapshot, as it is.

i might re-install Geswall with Rollback RX.

and there's actually a promo going on which i might just take advantage of :):

I like Rollback RX when I tried it but I didn't like you had to uninstall the app to defrag although now they have a defrag command or something you can use if you want to defrag. I will stick to imaging for now. I would still like the chance to try Geswall but I'm still waiting on a 64-bit version.

i'm not 100% sure but i think it only defrag it's own snapshots.

i'll know after a few days if the positives outweigh the negatives.

-{ Quote: "i'm not 100% sure but i think it only defrag it's own snapshots.

Yes you can only defrag the snapshots within rollback, but you supposedly can use a command that avoids you having to uninstall then reinstall and lets you defrag using your typical defrag tools but you still lose your snapshots either way.

[Boost]

Moontan,you should do it :thumb: ;D

I'm using an older version of Rollback(dont know version,cause I'm at relatives celebrating)

Yes it is. I just switched to DefenseWall but during the time I used GeSWall I never had any trouble with it. I just wish the developers took a more active role with it. The support forum is pretty much dead.

[acr1965]

Not sure where the best place to make this post is- but which is the most user friendly to use: Sandboxie, Bufferzone Pro, DefenseWall or GesWall?

I just want a sandbox type program to run my browser in and have a place for questionable downloads to go (like a download folder where everything is ran in a sandbox by default- for instance if I download an mp3 I want it to go to that folder and be played by my default music player but in a sandbox environment). I guess apps like music and video players would be ok to run in sandbox too. I just need something simple that will allow apps to work properly, update properly, etc. And if I choose to keep an app, video or mp3 then I want to be able to take it out of the sandbox.

I have OnlineArmor that features the "run safer" component and Avast Pro with its virtualize component. They seem to be ok although they have issues and there appears to be no way to create a "download folder" where everything is ran in a sandbox by default.

Any ideas?

Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit version of windows?

[acr1965]

32 bit with Windows 7 Ultimate (applocker has a lot of "issues" so I don't like running that)

[1chaoticadult]

-{ Quote: "32 bit with Windows 7 Ultimate (applocker has a lot of "issues" so I don't like running that)" }-

Then I would recommend Sandboxie or DefenseWall.

[cm1971]

I recommend DefenseWall. It is very easy to use. I like GeSWall but I had to configure some things for it to work right with Firefox.

[acr1965]

I may try defensewall again- I had it before (pre-version 3) and it had issues with Chrome. At present it has issues with Online Armor but there is supposed to be a fix on the way.

Yes I was informed by both Ilya and the OA support forum that a fix is coming.

I don't know about running OA without the HIPS. I am going to use my OA license on a laptop. I have been using Privatefirewall with Defensewall because it was recommended in another thread. As for your second question I would not think that would be a problem. Even if there is you should be able to run it as trusted and it would work.

[Matthijs5nl]

I think DefenseWall and BufferZone are the easiest to use.

[jmonge]

DefenseWall,BufferZone and Geswall are very easy to use:thumb: :thumb:

i removed Shadow Defender and installed Rollback RX yesterday.
i want to see how my workflow is different between those 2 app and which one i like the best.
i need to try this setup for a couple more days to see if it's gonna "stick".

edit:
i took advantage of the holiday sale for Rollback RX seen in the Backup forum here @ Wilders and just bought myself a holiday gift! :)

I added Genie Timeline Professional, so my setup looks: DWPF + Windows Firewall + Genie Timeline Pro.

So how you do like Rollback RX moon?

[moontan]

-{ Quote: "So how you do like Rollback RX moon?" }-

so far it seems stable and i'm liking it.

unlike Shadow Defender i don't have to switch in & off "virtual land" by rebooting.
it is more flexible than SD and allows me to have a more relaxed workflow.

the main sell for me it that is is like restoring a system image in 20 seconds instead of 20 minutes.
Probably like a Windows System Restore on steroids. ;)

i've only tested RX for a day or so but it seems to do well what it's designed for.

i like the company Gold Support policy which allows you to get updates for life for a very reasonably priced (10$) yearly subscription.
it keeps the company in business and i might get a good product with a viable future.

i still need to test RX for a few more days though to make sure it passes my approval. ;)

[acr1965]

I missed the sale on bits de jur a few weeks ago for Rollback rx. I think I may get in on this one. Rollback RX looks very nice. But I saw a post in the help forum where some rogue av disabled it. I guess those things happen. Does Rollback rx store the images on portable hard drives or can it also store images online if I have skydrive from MS?

Also, are there any known conflicts with Rollback rx? Like if I run Defensewall and Rollback rx?

thanks

for your first question:

the Snapshots are saved on the same drive as your OS
Rollback RX works with "Snapshots", not Images.
you still need to use a regular Image app once in awhile.

one needs to keep something in mind when using software like RX:
if you want to defrag or do a regular system image you need to uninstall RX first, do your maintenance, then re-install RX.

i recommend visiting their forum as well as the forums here @ Wilders to know what you're getting into.

you second question:
the best answer is to download the trial and try for yourself.
what might work on my computer might not work on yours...

Yea Zemana protects well for 32-bit systems, but not really up to snuff on 64-bit systems. SpyShelter would be better there.

[TheIgster]

Been a while since I posted. Changed my setup a bit. My license for ESET Smart Security is coming to and end soon and I have been looking for free alternative. There are so many free apps out there, it seems silly to pay, even if ESS is a good product.

Switched out ESS and put in Comodo Internet Security. So far, working very well. I put CIS through some testing last night and it held up no problems.

Also took advantage of the holiday special pricing for Rollback RX and bought a license. I had an issue with some software that I had installed and then uninstalled, but my system was still messed up. Since I use Macrium Reflect, I thought, no problem, I'll just restore the image I had created. It took 8 freakin' hours to restore the image. No more of that with Rollback RX. Already tested it out and it took about a minute to restore a snapshot. Yeah, that's right, one minute.

The only minus I can see from Rollback RX is if the HD fails. Then a guy is screwed because the "snapshots" are stored on the same drive. Then I guess though, a guy could simply put in a new drive and start from scratch anyway.

[1chaoticadult]

-{ Quote: "When I downloaded Zemana it didn't work on x64 systems.

Yep they added support for x64 a few versions back but the protection is limited.

You know what they say... it's not if, it's when. Do yourself a favor and store your images on another HD.

[TheIgster]

-{ Quote: "You know what they say... it's not if, it's when. Do yourself a favor and store your images on another HD." }-

Rollback RX doesn't work like that though.

I think I will still use Macrium Reflect and do a sector by sector copy to an external HD for an "image" backup.

And in over 20 years of using comps, never had an HD fail yet...;)

I use my laptop for browsing, internet banking, occasional internet shopping (supermarket groceries, and gifts like flowers/cards).

The OS is Vista x32 home premium

Firewall
Using Vista's Firewall according to Stem's excellent setup thread

Policy HIPS - System wide
Using Kees1958 safe admin guidelines to realise a quiet HIPS.

UAC set to quiet (auto elevate), still benefit of Windows file/registry virtualisation and IE8 protected mode
only allowing elevation from safe places, disabled installer recognition,
only allow SIGNED PROGRAMS TO RUN ELEVATED,
only allow SIGNED DRIVERS TO INSTALL
EMET-2 DEP & SEHOP allways on


Policy HIPS - Threatgates
Using Sully's excellent PGS to contain threatgates and some other safe-admin advises

Registry tweak to disable autoruns
Deny execute USB sticks and data partition through PGS
Using the PGS preset to disable some other threatgates/risky programs
Run Basic User IE8, Live mail, WMP, Flash and PDF reader through PGS
EMET-2 ASLR and Windows Own Virtualising of same aps with RUNASINVOKER registry tweak
Using the 1806 registry trick to disable download/running of executables (with a SAFE_ON/OFF.reg) from IE8 and Mail


Realtime security applications
a) TrendMicro BrowserGuard Free (against JIT spray attacks on IE8 )
a) Avast Free WebGuard and MailGuard


On demand security applications
a) Autoruns with saved file for comparison
b) Hitman Pro Free

Because most of the protection is OS internals, the overhead is very low. Very :-) with it for some months now

[icr]

Trying Comodo's Cleaning Essentials and to be more specific its new KillSwitch running good and provides a thorough details;)

It works fine if you just disable SafeOnline, which really isnt needed with this combo. But it is lickity slpit.

get out of that paranoid mode and set it to safe mode..you will feel safe and then you can drink your hot cup of coffee;D

to late;D i deleted:)

[Noob]

I always set it at Paranoid Mode too, but i can keep the Pop Ups down when you finish giving all programs their rules ;D

Anyways, the only thing making me not use CIS is because it's not compatible with EAM :wacko: :thumbd:
When i have both running i can't use Chrome for some weird reason :D

Yeah I've tried it all. I switch things around and have tried different combo's. I'm just not as vocal about it as some people are. :P

actually you have a nice combo man with comodo and mbam pro;)

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit built-in firewallUsing Administrator account; DEP and SEHOP are enabled for all processes and programs; UAC is on always notify; Windows Defender is disabled; using Internet Explorer 9 beta
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4.2
Hitman Pro 3.5both licenses end on the 12th of january
It might be possible the Windows firewall will be replaced, depending on what I do when my current ESET NOD32 Antivirus ends, there are three possibilies:

continuing current setup;
replacing ESET NOD32 Antivirus by a free antivirus;
upgrading to ESET Smart Security.

I also seems the most interesting option to me, at this moment. But I am not sure, Antispam is of absolutely no value to me. Also I am perfectly happy with Windows firewall.
Since ESET 5 is on the horizon it might change then. That is why I asked several times on the ESET forums about the future changes to the featureset of both products, it is a shame that they don't want to disclose any information about ESET 5. If they did, option 2 (replacing ESET NOD32 Antivirus by a free antivirus) wouldn't exist. The only thing we known which will be included in ESET 5 is Parental Control, which is just like Antispam of no value to me.

Yes, I my self have stopped asking questions about version 5.0 since I know what the answer will be;) Even though I agree with you that more info from ESET would really be nice.

I personally haven't heard anything official that Parental Control will be included for sure? What's your source?
But I got a feeling that we will see something more included apart from Parental Control.

And yet he haven't settled down;D

[jmonge]

that is the only way you know what you are trying without asking others i am the kind of person that i try it and prove it my self type of person:) ;D
anyway so far i tested all and in long time the software that really convince me so far it is Prevx,winpatrol plus and spyshelter:thumb: i love this 3 programs
the rest for example Defensewall,appguard and mbam pro

note:this six programs are my faborites programs ever but the diference is this:prevx,winpatrol,spyshelter are 64 bit system ready with out any trouble or slow down:thumb: :thumb:

note:the second group:defensewall,appguard,mbam pro

now for example Defensewall is not 64 ready:'( ,appguard is beta and has some bugs;D now mbam pro is 64 ready and the detention rate is one of the best:thumb: and in windows vista and win7 is super fast:thumb: but in my xp systems is very slow and make my browsing slow in xp systems;D

another note:PE Guard it is in my heart but i want 64 bit system ready:thumb: i will wait for this one:thumb:

also i am testing geswall and i already fall in love with and it will be 64 ready:thumb:

for now my set up will be prevx,spyshelter and winpatrol plus

Directly after the launch of version 4 (sometime ago already), they released a YouTube video. In that video some people of ESET were interviewed about that release version, the company and the future. They said something like "Parental Control might be a good addition in the future". Also in SoftPedia interview they said something like that I think.
Next to that I mentioned it sometimes in the ESET forums, and they never denied it.

I also got the feeling ESET version 5 will bring a great improvement, which will make it top-notch again, like three years ago and where ESET belongs. What exactly I don't really know, it might be sandbox-based or behavior-based (maybe in combination with reputation-based? Who knows?). I personally prefer behavior-based, since I am not a huge fan of sandboxing.

[jmonge]

ofcourse how can i settled down when my antivirus(any)will fail me and comon sense may work for me but when you have familly and kids comon sense fails too so i will continue to search untill my heart is happy:thumb:

[SweX]

Hmmm... I remember that I DID watch the video, AND read the interview and yet I can't remember that they did mention anything about parental control;D

And let's hope that I am right since we really don't need Parental Control in ESS;)

[TheIgster]

Well, CIS is now gone and back to ESS.

Just lighter on the system and ESS performs so much better than CIS in the tests I've done. I like CIS and I think it's getting better, but it's not quite there yet.

Then we are two;). And I have suggested something behavior-based in the suggestion thread in the ESET forum several times.

And I have seen more BB suggestions than I have seen Parental Control suggestions that's for sure::)

interesting.. If you set the execution of unknown to restricted or blocked in CIS you will see the difference.Anyways how is ESS against zero day malware?;D

[jmonge]

How is GesWall Pro compared to the free version?

[jmonge]

always a good idea to check the developer's site first.

Basically pro gives you more applications in its coverage,and auto-terminates malware that attacks the operating system.

[jmonge]

that is cool indeed also auto isolate option without any pop ups;D

[jmonge]
