    Whether the skinning was on or off it didn't matter for me. It is top notch security program that has gotten even better. How did this happen? Did someone make a deal with the debil?

    It is nice to see hard work pay off. I hope even more people buy DW now

    Anyone know exactly what this means? What are the two scenarios?

    I have installed it. I haven't had any problems. How would anyone know if I am "active".


    NOTE: I would have posted this over on the GSF but there seems to be a problem and I can't search that forum to find the right thread.

    hahaha Ilya is as square as SpongeBob

    Scenarion 1: when an active beta tester, you will be visible on the Gladiator Security Forum, simply by posting stuff in the beta thread. When you run out of your 30 days, Ilya will provide you with a new key

    Scenario 2: when not an active tester, you won't submit any improvements. When you are lucky other testers will, so there is a new release/build which you can download and enjoy for another 30 days. When you are out of luck, the last beta is stable and when you have not posted any tips, bugs etc, your testing time has ran out.

    Nowadays there is any plan to develop a x64 version?

    Not very soon. In fact, not before I find a good way to bypass PatchGuard.

    Well think of it sir, as soon as you find a way to bypass PatchGuard Microsoft will patch it and subsequently close the hole :D. In other words, you will NEVER have a 64 bit version, don't you think?

    Thanks.

    Agree. Bypass it and they will patch it. Back to square one. Bypassing is not the way to go. Maybe you don't mean 'bypass', maybe you mean 'overcome the limitations of patchguard'?

    I tried latsest beta in a Win 7 VM. I run IE 7 untrusted and then launched XnView via IE but XnView was not untrusted. I was thinking that a child process of an un-trusted application will be marked untrusted as well. o_O

    So, you run XnView as a child process of IE and it's not untrusted? Or you did download a picture and run it? How to reproduce it?

    Ah, now I understand. I have had few reports about CIS v4 beta and DW incompatibility. It's right about trusted/untrusted process status inherition.

    Aha, interesting. According the ProcessExplorer output, XnView's parent is defensewall.exe, not iexplore.exe. What's the path of XnView and is it into the "Download Areas"?

    There may be a better way, but if you right-click the DW icon in the taskbar and click "inbound firewall protection" and "outbound firewall protection" I expect that would do it.

    Yes, it's because it's placed into the one of the "Download Areas" folder and trusted. This case DefenseWall copy the file into the "DefenseWallVC_Apps" folder and run as trusted. It's done this way to simplify software installations.
