Regdefend fails Regtest Test 2

[jimmytop]

I installed Regdefend (trial) on a clean install of XP Pro SP2 virtual machine using MS Virtual PC 2004. I rebooted the VM and made sure Regdefend started up properly. Left the default settings alone.

Next, I ran Regtest. Immediately I get the following Regdefend alert:
"Regtest.exe tried to modify the following registry VALUE
With this Data
This item is in the Auto Starts registry group
Process: path to regtest.exe
Registry Key: HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
Registry Value: 1regtest1"

Now, at this point it doesn't matter whether I "Allow" or "Block", the end result is the same. I initiate Test 1, block a couple of alerts and all modifications fail (in other words, good result - regdefend working).

Next I go to Test 2. I see what might be an alert but the virtual machine reboots before I can be sure. It goes through boot-up but as soon as it gets back into Windows, and I click OK on the Regdefend Trial Edition splash screen, the VM shuts down again and reboots again. As it's shutting down it hangs at "Saving your settings" for a long time. Then it finally reboots all the way back into Windows but this time I get the "Registry Tester Your system can be compromised by malicious software" message.

What gives? Why put a test out there that can beat your own software...lol. Was that the point? No one's safe??

Well neither me or any of my beta testers can reproduce the situation where RegDefend fails Test 2, which is the issue here. :)

Blows right past RD and PG on my system too Jason. I have XP Pro SP2 with all latest updates. I just paid for RD and am beginning to regret my decision. Is there some hardening required of your apps that Im not aware of?

Yep we finally managed to get one of our beta testers to exhibit the problem, and thanks to him with some further testing we ironed out the issue in RegDefend. It will be fixed in the upcoming v1.200 release.

Super! My faith returns. I don't post a lot but Im constantly tweaking my system based on what I learn here and at the other forums. You guys are an invaluable source of information. I eagerly await the next release.
