What's new?
- Improved support for Windows 7 rc.
- Fixed a bug when downloading kernel symbols in Windows 7 rc.
- Fixed a bug that does not convert short file name path of dynamic link library to long file name path.
- Changed the status of "Read-Restricted Files" file group to disable for fresh installation.

NOTE:
There may be a lot of alerts of reading restricted files when running MD with other security software. If you upgrade MD from old versions, you can disable the "Read-Restricted Files" file group manually.

 

I've updated to 2.2.2, no problems thus far. Thanks Xiaolin.

 

hi

i just notice something , when i create a rule for application which access the net (add ports:ips to network rules) and i del the rule and than recreate , its remember all the ipsorts from old/previous rule , is that ok??

 

Hi demoneye,

I cannot reproduce the problem. Could you describe the problem more precisely? Did you create the rule in the "Edit Application Rule" dialog?

Thanks,
Xiaolin

 

yes in "Edit Application Rule" dialog.
seems file svchost.exe some how remember the software ipsorts after del/re add action...

i test it on foobar2000 player after add some radio link in "add location", MD ask for each new iport try to axx net (fine and ok) but after del all "foobar" rules using "find rules" to del / re add the issue appear

 

Xiaolin,

When I create a new file (for exemple c\new file.txt), I create a new permanent rule "create file" but "Read, Write, Create and Delete" are on "Permit" and not only "Create".
Is it a bug, by design or ...?

Thanks.

 

MD monitors network connections, but not all the packets. The network connection will not be affected if you change the network rule after the connection is created.

 

Hi,

The default Read permission is permit. And MD set same permissions for Write, Create and Delete when creating rule in Alert window. But you can change Write, Create and Delete permissions manually.

 

Hi xiaolin,

thanks again for the new release and your hard work Would you recommend it's okay to install on Win 7 RC x64, as long as it's installed in the "Program files x86" folder?

 

I have most of my security applications as "Trusted Applications" in MD and have had no alerts.

 

Sorry, MD does not support x64 version of Windows yet.

 

I just reinstalled Windows on my Asus EEEPC 1000HE net book. I am installing GesWall and Malware Defender. I'm looking for a light secure setup and I think they will play nice.

 

good start

 

Heaven Help I hope there is going to be 64bit for windows 7 ??

please don't make me have to choose between 16GB Ram and Malware Defender with only 4GB Ram.

xiaolin can you make it a Priority??

 

I will implement the 64-bit version of MD when 64-bit Windows become popular. The code signing certificate for 64-bit driver is a big trouble.

Thanks,
Xiaolin

 

Can anyone confirm that my understanding about MD file protection filters is correct? I am a bit confused witH Write filter. Thanks

Read- reading any file
Write- creating a brand new file? or modifying an already present file?
Create- creating a brand new file that doesn,t exist before
Delete- deleting an already present file completely

 

the denny for writting is for present and or new introduce files

 

1) Two groups of computer users come to mind:

Group X: Folks who now use 64-bit PLUS folks who are likely to switch to 64-bit early on.

Group Z: Folks who are interested in stand-alone classic HIPS.

2) My OPINION: A high percentage of folks who are in Group X are also in Group Z. And vice versa.

 

+1
I find it a pity that also Tallemu don't spend (many or any?) ressources on 64 bit support. I guess it would result in a noticeable customer increase.

 

I think that most people who will be getting windows 7 would be getting 64-bit because they would also want to upgrade the Ram. we can't stay on 4GB of Ram Forever while everything else is be upgraded. I'm sure if we create a poll when Windows 7 comes most people would be on 64-bit.

I wouldn't mind if you increased the price for a 64-bit version.

MD is the only decent classical HIPS around with decent file and folder rules.

 

agree 100%

 

but this thread isn't about sandboxie. And I really don't care what happens with Sandboxie.

But more importantly Xiaolin said today " will implement the 64-bit version of MD when 64-bit Windows become popular" so there will be a MD 64-bit version later.

When 64-bit Windows becomespopular which isn't to far away now, Venders are going to have to start producing 64-bit versions or they will go out of business.
