Malware Defender - New HIPS from China

The problem seems to only occur if a new release is installed over an earlier release. The file: C:\program files\malware defender\MDservice.exe, must be removed before installing a new release. Actually the MD installer should remove it during the install process, but the current release (1.1.2) does not do that.

Workaround: COPY the folder C:\program files\malware defender\, to your desktop. Some files will not copy, that's OK. Uninstall MD, and reboot. Go to the folder
C:\program files\malware defender\, and delete MDservice.exe. Lastly copy all the files in the new folder on your desktop back to C:\program files\malware defender\, and install the new version. Runs very well now with Low CPU usage.

 

Was My single only issue, apparenty now resolved. Further testing upcoming.

Thanks EASTER

 

easter i noticed that you also have eqsecure,where do i go or where to get the download link,cause i found a link with alot of simbols,i think is japanese or something like that.

Please see member Alcyon's sig. I believe he also hosts rulesets to better help users make the most of EQS.

Regards EASTER

 

ok thanks

 

This is what i'm waiting on before purchasing.
Still no problems thus far.
After network access detection is added, I may try Malware defender and Sandboxie as my only two software defense's and see how that go's. Along with my hardware firewall "AlphaShield" of course.

 

Me, too.

 

Malware Defender 1.1.3 beta1

I decided to release a minor update before releasing v1.2.

download link:
http://www.torchsoft.com/download/md_setup_1.1.3_b1.exe

What's new:
- Added an option to the alert dialog to add child application to group.
- Added support for using DELETE key to delete/kill selection in various dialogs.
- Increased startup speed.
- Fixed a bug of not deleting temporary rules when exiting processes.
- Fixed a bug when scanning autostart entries with same name and data.
- Fixed a bug when creating rules for named pipe by log.
- Fixed a bug when handling the process priority.
- Changed the process priority of MD to "Above Normal".
- Changed the behaviour in leaning mode. If explicit DENY rule is found, MD will not permit the action.

 

Re: Malware Defender 1.1.3 beta1

Thanks for the hard work

 

I'm glad I paid for MD, xiaolin is very active.

Thanks for the hard work xiaolin also!

 

i also send some cash too he deserve it

 

i use SB alone long time ago and all is ok , MD can be a great hips to avoid rootkit attack which most scared me + add general malware defender (lol)

cheers

 

Re: Malware Defender 1.1.3 beta1

can u take alook at HIGH CPU usage this and make a fix for it 2 ?

why did u change it in forward to come ver and no in the older ver? any specific improvement ?

cheers

 

Re: Malware Defender 1.1.3 beta1

About the HIGH CPU usage, I can not recreate the problem. Normally, the mdservice.exe should be terminated when exiting the MD UI.

I changed the process priority of MD to make it working well when other programs cause high CPU usage.

Thanks

 

Re: Malware Defender 1.1.3 beta1

i dont get any HIGH CPU usage here it is as fast as a bird

 

Malware Defender 1.1.3 is released

http://www.torchsoft.com/download/md_setup.exe

The old version is also available for download: http://www.torchsoft.com/download/md_setup_1.1.2.exe

 

Since changing from EQS to Malware Defender, I've noticed a general slowdown of my PC. When I came to my routine checks, I noticed Autoruns and HijackThis now take an age to run. Perhaps it's all the registry scannng these programs do. Just a thought.

 

Uninstalled MD and computer flying again.

 

Re: Malware Defender 1.1.3 is released

Thanks for the update. Running well as usual.

Have you thought about adding command-line-sensitive execution control in a future version?

Nick

 

Re: Malware Defender 1.1.3 is released

Thanks for the suggestion. I will add this feature to my to-do list. But there are other features have higher prioirty than this one.

"put child application in group" only be enabled when creating new process. The "child application" is the process being created.

 

10x for fast reply mate.. so in which group 2 put it ? the first or in the sec?

 

You can put the parent app and child app to different groups. If you do not like to use groups, just leave it unchecked.

 

xiaolin,
excellent app, thank you. waiting on next release before buying. Impressed so far though.
