    There are bugs in the implementation of MD's file protection. I will fix the bugs soon, and will redesign it in the near future.

    Thanks,
    Xiaolin

    Maybe I should have used the word "superior" rather than "strong".

    This is simply because AV vendors prefer usability than HIPS vendors do,rather than that AV companies do not have great programmers to write an effective but noisy HIPS. You may argue that HIPS can be not noisy,but to average Joes,it is not only noisy but also confusing.

    I think I've got my point here. The fact is that we have far more "wrong hands" than "right hands" in this world. Hips provides more security than AV. That's for sure,because few people try to break it. The advantage we have to average Joes is the knowledge we have,not the programs.

    Guy's this is a great thread. Lets not get into the HIPS vs AV debate, doesn't really belong in this thread.

    One user said he hoped the thread stayed open. It will if we stay on topic and avoid the big no no, personal swipes

    Nick S, did Xiaolin send you this beta link? I'm a registered user and the last email I got was for 2.4.3. I'm hesitant to install this one.

    Xiaolin only posted the link in the Chinese forum. No email here either. That said, I've been running 2.4.4 beta 1 on my laptop since its release with no problems. My desktops still run 2.4.1.

    Thanks Nick. Weird how no word from Xiaolin here or via email about this release. Where is the Chinese forum for MD?

    Thanks arran. I'm currently enjoying the avatars and animated gifs, not to mention trying to make sense of Google's translation. :)

    The beta1 version does not fix all the bugs. I will release a new beta version soon.

    Thanks.

    It's an uphill battle finding sense in the translated bbs.kafan.cn forum pages.
    The translation fell apart in handling idioms & phrases, I suppose.
    "sand table" == sandbox ?
    "cattle people" == cowboy (renegade? maverick?)
    "rice card" == o_O

    A few of the stickied threads atop the forum hold some promise
    title: md rules file and folder scope
    and
    title: Malware Defender resource index

    LOL :argh:
    Sorry for OT.
    "Cattle people" means people who's got skill. Literally it means someone who's strong like a bull.
    kafan is the short form of "Kaspersky fans". The forum was founded for Kaspersky fans at the beginning. But now it becomes a general security forum.
    Rice has the same pronunciation with fan in Chinese,and ka is somehow translated to card by google... o_O
    I have no idea what sand table means. I'll try to figure it out. :D
