thank you for the info.

wish there was auto updating.

 

i found *.msi files can run under drive by download protection ...that NOT good
also they didn't fix the none uni-code dir that under ag protection , meaning NONE English fonts dir CANT be protected by AG
no password protection also
no shortcut key to disable/enable all protection (lile command "suspend all protection")
No import/export for selected protected dirs/drives define

 

Password protection to keep unauthorized users from tampering with settings??

 

correct

 

no password protection

 

does it look same?can some buddy take a picture?

 

After installing over the previous version my system got 3 BSoD, one after one... I don't know whether it is compatible with Zemana Antilogger or what? I have Norton 360 and MBAM 1.44. Recently i added Zemana and i think Zemana is not compatible with it...

Anyone else faced this problem?

 

to confirm your situation i too have same problem with both they hate each other

 

Okay so i am not alone in this case....I thought some virus got into my system which is causing this problem and immediately i scanned my system with Norton, Hitman Pro and MBAM.

 

cool

 

I to have the same problem using both.

 

Looks the same seems just to be a maintenance release.

 

zemana + AG dont get along

u can check here for more info

Thanks for the confirmation to all my dear brothers...

They have updated their Softpedia OEM setup from v 1.9.2.185 to 1.9.2.188.

But still their main homepage is showing something else....

 

I guess earlier they have not mentioned about Blue Ridge Network...But now they have updated the same..

Thanks for the concrete proof.

 

LOL that funny , i just also check it , seems zemana team doesn't knows what their left and right hand does

 

I guess they have messed up with Softpedia OEM setup....like we all messed up with them

 

Hi All,

I wanted the new software to be posted at CNET before posting announcement. Looks like Demon Eye beat me to it.

Yes, this release is rather incremental. We cut off a development sprint to fix some bugs that were generating considerably more trouble ticket volume than usual. Among the features in that sprint was to be password protected settings. That and others will be in release 1.5, which has not been scheduled yet.

Regarding Zemana, we've been aware of problems as reported by that vendor. However, we've not lab tested it ourselves.

We do post compatibility issues on the support page:

Known Conflicts with 3rd Party Software (bottom of page)

“Zone Alarm Pro”, “Zemana”, and conflicting reports of problems with “SuperAntiSpyware Pro”.


Please let us know of other conflicts you've observed.

Cheers,

Eirik

 

Hi Eirik,

Are you going to troubleshoot the compatibility issue of AppGuard with Zemana?

 

Unlikely. We generally don't hand-tweak (modify our binary to avoid a specifc conflict with a specific vendor's product) our software to side-step conflicts with other security software. Our Chief Software Architect is quite religious, if not fanatical, about adhering to the various guidelines from Microsoft that are intended to minimize conflicts. Windows Vista/7 has helped with their implementation of something called "altitudes", intended to minimize conflicts (not perfect but a big improvement over XP).

I wouldn't rule this out. We would probably do so for SuperAntiSpyware Pro or Zone Alarm Pro before we do so for Zemana. And if there were a problem with something with giant market share, we would attend to that before them. We wish to avoid what some have said brought down a handful of small security vendors: over-extending themselves in trying to achieve compatibility. I'm sure this disappoints folks.

That said, I think we should post a few tips for end-users that can help them overcome some conflicts, such as timing-related conflcits. We've had some success with customers in this regard. I'll discuss this with engineering and customer support.

Cheers,

Eirik

 

so know we have to wait unknown time till all basic issues i post will be fix ?

 

Has anyone had any issues running the new version with Online Armor?

 

Has this issue been fixed (Win 7), right click tray icon and disable all protection. Go to USB drive to launch something with AppGuard still blocking it even though all protection has been disabled. Go back to tray icon enable all protection then disable all protection a second time. Go back to USB drive app will now launch. Go back to tray icon, enable all protection. Go back to USB drive and run whatever you want because AppGuard will allow it to do so even though protection as been re-enabled.
