AppRanger add in the cloud:)

it is similar to defensewall but with a scanerit is a sandbox for applications that uses the internet plus a in the cloud scaner

 

i forgot to mention that appranger has a behabiour monitor module in it's enginebut it is turn off by default

 

hmm thats actually quite interesting, anybody tested how it performs compared to apps like defensewall or GesWall? since it seems to be similar.

 

i did

 

what i like it's the lockdown feature like anti-executable
you can also add executable files to be block like sys,temp,dll,ocx,etc,etc you can dirty your hands under this hood

 

It would be nice to see the testing though. I can't seem to find any independent reviews or testing videos of AppRanger!

ds

 

so how does it compare?

 

look first i will tell you in spirit they work similar maybe not same but close,appranger is a strong sandbox as it is sandboxie,geswall,defensewall,etc but the only diference it is that appranger has a behabiour blocker engine and also a scaner which the other lack more configurable.very good malware remover top notch i say
by the way all the software mention are top notch but what makes appranger especial in point of view again it is the scaner,not to mention they are just inplementing in the cloud scaner and it is very fast like a minute or so

 

i know,i am going to send matt an email so he can put his hands on this one

 

it has 4 level of protection disable,low,medium and high(system lockdown feature)in high when installing will auto block,also in medium but in low will show a instalation pop up and can install software but will be monitor by it's behabiour module

 

i install about 5 malwares on purpose when having the program disable and enable it on high and run the scaner and found exactly the 5 malware i run and deleted them very easilly

 

Seems to be designed for servers .. maybe will mean its even more effective on PC's !!!

 

well you just turned into a minor version of IBK havent you my friend.

 

that made me lol a bit

 

Please please tell me you ran them in a VM...

 

Does it run its own scanner or one from some other company?

A lot more screenshots here-

i assume its their own.

 

now is that an official take or you are assuming it to be all that...

 

From their pdf-

1.1.1 Scan
AppRanger’s malware scanner uses two patent pending methods to find and remove
malware/rootkits that are very difficult to find and remove. If there is a rootkit or
polymorphic malware on a computer, AppRanger will find it.
Only malware AppRanger may not remove are “file infectors.” Those should be taken
care by anti-virus software, but in late 2008 AppRanger will support fixing “file infector”
malware/virus as well.
AppRanger automatically scans the computer once and day and notifies the user if any
malware is detected."

 

well try it for your self and you will see it for your self like i did

 

it is their own

 

what is a virtual machine

 

I don't believe you

 

IBK what is that?

 

How do you know if something if an app is sandboxed? I set it up so that Opera.exe is boxed but I cannot see any difference.
