    I think it all depends on the author/publisher. They all do it differently. For a one man operation a formal beta program would be a management issue, so even the beta is either trial or paid. Up to the user to decide what he wants to do.

    Seems to me that the 'AUTORUN.INF created by Panda USB and AutoRun Vaccine is hidden from MD's File Explorer, yet visible in Windows explorer.
    Anyone else confirm this?
    BTW: This was tested on a Flash stick.

    Another version and the network control still doesn't work (new OS install as well). How can I check whether the network component is installed correctly? There's nothing in the properties page of my network adapter related to MD.

    You can disable the default network rules in c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe, then try using IE to open web sites.

    Do you mean the network tab in application rules for IE? There's nothing there because the network component doesn't work - at all. I don't get alerts for anything and no network rules are added in learning mode. How does the network component integrate into the system? There's nothing in winsock and nothing attached to my NIC. The only driver running is the main driver (pehiapnk on my system).

    Hi Espresso,

    if you are still running KAV 4.5, I believe it has a network component in it somewhere and it needs to be disabled otherwise it will conflict with other software firewalls.

    I only have the on-demand component of KAV installed. There is no driver installed. This is a fresh Vista installation.

    Are you using Vista SP1? The network protection only works on Vista SP1 or later.

    I'm using Vista SP2 RC. I was using SP1 on my last system where it also didn't work.

    Very strange. I turned off all protection when I went to bed and just turned it on again and I immediately start getting network access popups. So, it appears to be working fine now but it's still a mystery as to why it wasn't working before or on my previous system.

    No, just MD. I'm behind a router so I don't need a firewall.

    The network protection appears to have stopped working again. No popups for anything anymore.

    Can someone tell me whether the network component of MD is built around the Windows Base Filtering Engine (Windows Firewall) ? The only way the network control will work is if the Base Filtering Engine service is turned on. o_O It doesn't seem to matter if the Windows Firewall is enabled or not.

    to protect the host file i made a rule:
    read only/block write or execute;)
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC;host.mvp(denny write or execute/only read):)
    note:every two weeks when updating my host file i have to enable the learning mode to allow the new host file update and then put it back to normal mode:)
