Always a painless upgrade. I had quite a few programs open during update, quit MD's protection and fired up the new version. Happy days

 

And not even a re-boot is required

 

Hello, i'm trialing this program it seems very good, but system slowdown is extreme for some applications that read a lot of files.

For example, when i load ObjectDock Pro with File Protection enabled, startup time is ~48sec

With file protection disabled start time is ~28sec

At this load time ObjectDock uses ~50% CPU (2.4ghz X2)

With Malware Defender shut down (real time protection disabled) time is ~6sec

I have allow * all file rules in explorer.exe and ObjectDock.

There is also a large slowdown when running my file backup program, which also has all file allowed rule.

Is it normal for this program or am i doing something wrong ?

Thank You

 

I think the concepts are similar.

 

Thanks for trialing MD.

If file reading actions are monitored, slowdown may occure for applications that read a lot of files. Could you try set all the read permission of file rules to permit or ignore, and do not log any file reading events?

 

I moved to Windows x64. Once and forever. Hopefully, MD will be ported to x64. It's a promising app.

 

I will port MD to x64. But it will take some time.

 

i gave 5 starts in download.com this app deserve 5 or more starts

 

The Russian version of MD is released. Thank STaN++ for the great work.

I was wondering, has anyone tested if "windows automation software" can be used on a PC running MD ?

... If yes, which windows automation software are you using alongside with MD ? I am looking for a good automation software pgm which includes both a macro recorder and a "task scheduler" to replace windows task scheduler and allows a successor job to wait for the predecessor job to complete and can test the predecessor job had an exit code of zero (otherwise don't execute the succesor job *and* also have no conflicts with MD.

 

Hi Joseph,
i use Bat_To_Exe_Converter.exe, AutoScriptWriter.exe and AutoHotkey.exe, without any problems along with MD.
http://www.autohotkey.com/ is Freeware and very easy to use.

AutoIt v3 which is also free and probably the most powerful, however there is a steeper learning curve.

 

JosephB I agree with Tony above, I use AutoHotKey the last 6-7 years and I don't know what to do without it. AutoIt is very powerful but I have settled with ahk. However ahk uses windows' scheduled tasks.

 

I also had performance problems a few months ago when I tried MD. This was because I had some read file monitoring rules set. I really don't want to have to avoid certain rules due to limitations of the program. EQS does not suffer from these performance issues at all.

 

I will try to resolve this problem in next release. Thx
