    Hi,

    I am using Jetico1 now and I like it very much.I was wondering if Jetico2 is better ? What does Jetico2 have that Jetico1 doesn't ?. Is it worth giving Jetico2 a go or better stick to v1 ?

    Thanks and Happy New Year :cool:

    If you do decide to try V2, you would be better to wait at least untill the next beta release.(about 2 weeks)

    Your Welcome.

    As from my point of view: Is the upgrade worth it (as V2 will need a license >not free<), I thought at first no, but after some testing, it is a good improvement, with less error on SPI, and good interception on network access.
    Is this enough for yourself to actually pay for V2, well, this would be up to yourself, but do realise that V1 will still be good for a couple of years yet.

    By the way, happy new year

    Hi lucas1985,
    Happy New Year,

    "with less error on SPI",.... here I notice with V1 that packets, such as PSH ACK are being dropped, these packets are used a lot now by updaters such as KAV, and some problems, such as update errors can be seen.
    "good interception on network access. " this can seen on V2, on the intercrption of 3rd party access (as I would call it), an example could be:- explorer starts firefox, explorer then attempts internet access via firefox,.... not always seen.
    Memory access of application->internet access->intercepted. It is looking good, but of course I will have to wait to make final judgement.

    I´ve not yet seen this kind of events. I´m now aware of possible problems.
    I understand, you mean less "missing links" between apps trying to access network.
    Also, how is performing the new hash-checking table?
    Thanks.

    - Strange, is svchost located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder?
    - What system are you running?

    yeah! that's strange. yes, it is located in system32 folder. jetico2 gives me a numerous popup. im just handled as "access to network". before i click ok, i just read what jetico say. it say"access to internet" something like that. when i press ok, my system reboot automatically.

    im running xpsp2.

    Interesting problem. Are you able to post screenshots of ALL the popups which appear BEFORE your PC reboots?

    I have seen other posts concerning jetico2 and fd-isr, I think that is the problem.

    Edit:
    No problems with fd-isr.
    You would need to allow the debug rules to check what is attempting/needs indirect/access to network.
