Shadow Defender 1.1.0.258 and other minor change releases

To me, it is still the best product for 2008, and we still have 6 months to go. I think the next 6 months will be interesting, especially at the pace he is working.


Moral: Piss someone off, and you just never know how fruitful they can become. LMAO

 

v1.1.0.264 conflicts with MapleStory game, get disconnected with message saying "due to attempting to hack, etc"

Uninstalled this version and revert back to v1.1.0.259 which is working well with MapleStory. No more disconnects, hacking messages, etc.

Version 1.1.0.265 - July 7, 2008
Fix: Force Shadow Defender not to run as a limited user.
Fix: the installation will not be finished correctly if enter shadow mode immediately after installing softwares.

 

Hi,

New build again ? I just updated to 264 couple days ago.

The fashion SD is taking to update itself looks like beta version evolutions.

By the way, I learn from other forum that all SD versions released up to this date are ALL betas, is this true ?

 

I must admit that I like this progression by tiny increments and the involvment that allows. It gives the opportunity to feedback as it grows and develops. It doesn't seem like beta software where maybe parts are missing and you don't have a fully working software sometimes. I like this "finger on the pulse" approach.

 

As a SD newbie on the 30 day trial, can the new builds be installed over the top or is it an un-install / new install job?

Real SD-users might give you a different answer, but I would never install a new version of SD over an older version of SD, not with this type of software. So I would uninstall the older version first and then install the new version.

 

I agree...complete removal and fresh install for me.

 

v1.1.0.265 installed okay and working well for me now

 

I have a few questions regarding SD. I have two internal harddisks :
1. System Partition[C:] = Windows + Application + SD
2. Data Partition[D:] = documents, spreadsheets, emails, etc.

I noticed that SD handles more than one partition. I know how it works for [C:], what about [D:] ?

If [D:] is frozen :
I assume I can change anything in [D:], but all changes are gone after reboot ?
If a virus infects my data files, all infections are gone after reboot ?
If a virus would try to destroy [D:], something like killdisk, will it succeed ?

Do I have to reboot to change [D:] from "frozen mode" to "normal mode" or can I do this without reboot ?
Do I have to reboot to change [D:] from "normal mode" to "frozen mode" or can I do this without reboot ?
After all [D:] is not a system partition.

 

I would very much doubt it. All unshadowing with SD will require a reboot.

 

Wrong. Only the system partition requires a reboot. All the others can enter and exit shadow mode on the fly. No reboot is needed.

I had requested this feature from Tony back on settember and was extremely happy when it was implemented.
It can be very usefull if you shadow your external usb harddisk and then you want to unplug it without rebooting.

Yes, everything is gone. Even the fragmentation that occurred during that session.

Yes.

Maybe. SD protects from some types of malicious tools. And Tony is doing a great work to keep the program updated.

No, you don't. You can freeze/unfreeze no system partitions on the fly.

 

WOW !....didn't realise it. Happy to be corrected, that's one step closer to exit shadowmode without reboot.

Sir EricAlbert find it interesting to protect his data drive, enter and exit shadowmode on the fly provided he truly wish it

 

Pandlouk,
I changed my data on [D:] in "normal mode".
If I go from "normal mode" to "frozen mode" in [D:] without reboot, I assume changes are done and all changes after frozen mode are gone ?

Actually you have the freedom to choose if you want to retain the changes or to discard them all.

Take a look at the attached images.

 

Panagiotis, that is good news, I didn't know about that function.

 

Hehe,
You will love this ability.

ps. I edited my previous post for modifying the images. Pay attention at the partition [D:]. It is where I have my temp folder and this is the reason I had to select force dismount volume. And all was done as I was navigating in the wilders forum.

Panagiotis

 

Could you explain what this means.
If i check (or uncheck) this option when deactivating shadow mode in C: (System partition), what´s the difference??

 

Pandlouk,
Thanks for the explanation. I always seem to forget that "commit"-function in SD and Returnil. (not available in FDISR)

 

Hi, I have been using SD 1.0.0.130 with no problem.

When I tried to upgrade to SD 1.1.0.248 or later versions, there were numerous Application popups during startup ( Windows - No Disk : There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR4, etc). Cancelling the popups enabled loading into windows. It seems to be related to USB ports when no USB is inserted.

The highest version upgraded without the above problem is 1.1.0.246. Has anyone come across such problem and how to solve it ?

My computer is Compaq Presario Desktop PC, installed with windows xp home sp3, outpost firewall pro 2009, avast 4.8 pro, power shadow 2.8.
