Amazing app worth any penny and new skinless is great.
Good job Ilya

 

Yes, this new skinless version is damn good and light.

Congrats, Ilya

 

Yep just get updated today when I logged on,all seems well with its shedded skin.

 

Hmm.. any screenshots of this skinless GUI?

Thanks

 

Sure, i.e. main window of the DefenseWall

 

very simple and still strong

 

ive curious to know why people say the skinless version is alot faster and lighter,

a GUI shouldn't be doing this to any product, is this poor coding in the GUI department, bad implementation or just a general bug?

there should be no reason, surely... why the GUI version cant run and work exactly the same.

 

It's notorious that the 2.45 skin is buggy. It caused various crashes. CPU wise, i didn't see any difference with the skinless (although i didn't try the "latest" 2.46 - there have been 2.46 updated releases). I didn't check the RAM. But stability-wise, there is no comparison. With the 2.45 after playing a while with the options in the skin, it would crash. Now it's perfectly stable. Ilya had engaged a freelance programmer to make a new skin, but he delayed it too much, so on popular demand, Ilya made the 2.46 skinless. And that's much better.

 

Ram usage in newest version DW is improved

 

Ah, impressive! I think that with 2.45 it was about 25-30? Wow, that skin was really a menace! This is much better!

 

Thanks, It,s neat and clean. But a pretty skin will be sure more attractive.

 

Looks like this here;

 

Yours doesn't count, you use non MS-approved visual styles, which makes it prettier.

 

Doesn't almost everybody?

 

I love 2.46.. it is light, stable and protection is second to none.
I was testing out a web-to-phone app for a radio network I work with and it wasn't working for some reason.. as flash wanted to enable my microphone and headphones.. It was DW protecting me all the time.
I've been to a ton of dodgy sites using DW in Virtualbox and nothing gets through. If Ilya keeps this up my AV will end up on demand .

 

i dont use any antivirus here,Defensewall is even better than any antivirus free or paid

 

Gotta agree with you jmonge.
Very strong protection indeed.

 

I Second or third that very strong protection and With my sandboxie and Defensewall working full Time,I dropped the AV thingy.

 

Is this version compatible with Windows 7?

 

only way to know is try it urself, i doubt Ilya specifically made it to work with Windows 7.

 

DefenseWall installs and runs fine under Windows 7 (as does Shadow Defender). No problems at all.

Later...

One point...when I tried to install DefenseWall it wanted to install at C:/ instead of in the Program Files folder. Look out for that.

 

This could be a problem for a normal user. Please, contact me with DefenseWal log file exported, I'll fix it up.

 

I didn't made spacial testing for Win7 compatibility as it is beta version, MS may change everything ten times until release. I don't like an idea to rewrite and rewrite my code.

 

I have the u/m pop up..... is it normal? allow or terminate?
