yay let's celebrate thanks ilya

 

So one of the toughest security solution is ready to show its muscles ...

 

But i will use it next year...

No license key...No money...

 

Good glad to see it,but I never had problems with the beta at all.

 

A first class software with first class support.
Congratulations Ilya

 

Does the license key of v2.56 will work with v3

 

Yes, naturally. Just as I promised.

 

Thanks but does the license that I got from giveaway work coz when I tried to do so during DW Beta I encountered an error

 

Ah, all the giveaway licenses are special as all the giveways builds are special. You need a regular license.

 

Ilya,
I love your product and I was wondering if you could help. I've used ver3 RC2. When I try and open firefox it takes a good 6-8 seconds before it opens. Is this normal and is there anything that I can do to improve it?

 

How much is it? Maybe I'll give you a licence key as a birthday present

 

I don't know what could be a cause. In fact, when I open FF, DW adds about two or three seconds. Anyway, I'd like to take a look at DW's logs exported.

 

im waiting for 'the question' to be asked.....

lol

 

So, this is the final and stable release of DW v3?

Can I install it over the 2.56 version (and if so, will it recognize and accept the old license key) or do I have to uninstall the old version first?

Is it OK to run DW firewall component along with Online Armor (which I want to keep) or should I install just the HIPS part of DW and leave the firewall out?

Please provide suggestions for optimal procedure.

Thank you

 

The web site leads one to believe that you can get just the DW hips without firewall but after download/install, I've got the firewall too. Can we have just the hips without firewall?

 

Just select DW's program menu from the system tray icon, then make your choice

 

Optimal procedures is what you like: to be honest there is so much overlap between the two, that it is like using a belt and braces for holding up your trouser.

Possible combo's
- OA full with DW HIPS
- disable OA program guard use DW HIPS only
- disable OA HIPS use DW HIPS only

 

With OA's RunSafer, why use DW? I mean, DW is redundant with RunSafer in operation, isn't it? Also, wouldn't OA+DW generate quite a lot of system drag?

 

In this snapshot, I have 3 more, but only this combination. See screenshot.

I haven't noticed any drag, but I do have "Mail Shield and "Web Shield" in OA not enabled. Also, I do not use OA's RunSafer, because I prefer to run as admin.

 

Well that is why I suggested: try them seperately

Advantage of DW over OA with run safer
- protects internet facing processes plus files downloaded by them (plus anything spawned from this)
- less pop-ups
- cheaper

Advantage OA over DW
- OA protects processes system wide


I tested DWv3 with Matousec tests (previous versions) it is at least as good as OA. It is up to personal preference really.

Regards Kees

 

I don't think that it will be free birthday present from your side.

Anyways i have already wrote a nice article on DefenseWall HIPS 3. You guys can read it from the trailing link below.

Nice little review there ash. Good work.

 

Thanks...BTW i like my new name "Ash"...

Really DefenseWall HIPS is rock solid...I have tested it with more malware and everything got out of the system after a single click. Its really showing its muscles.
