The unofficial Shadow Defender Support Thread.

For Zoom, I think you need to exclude files "permissions.sqlite" and/or "contents-prefs.sqlite". See if you have either of those files in your profile folder. I dont save any preferences in Firefox so I dont have either file but you might find them in your profile folder since you have Firefox set to save Site preferences. Look at the bottom of this page for Site-specific preferences.

To save phishing in Shadow mode, you need to exclude files "cert8" and "blocklist" in AppData>Roaming and folder "Safebrowsing" in AppData>Local. I dont exclude phishing. If you dont exclude it, it will update for good next time you run Firefox out of Shadow mode.

Bookmark'd link and will commit places.sqlite

 

I have always kept a backup of my bookmarks over the years by saving a copy of places.sqlite, but that no longer works for me. I have to use the import/export feature in FF to back up my bookmarks now. I'm not able to restore them by copying the places.sqlite file to the FF profile folder any longer. I'm not sure if places.sqlite became corrupted at some point, or if maybe FF is not able to handle the number of bookmarks I have accumulated over the years.

 

@bjm_
As I read your posts in this thread I want to ask you one question...if you want to exclude so many areas...do you realy want to use SD? Maybe SD isn't for you?

 

SD 1.4.0.578 & Win 8.1 64 - Is this just me? Rebooting to be not in SM (shadow mode), windows action center Red X, regarding virus protection required. Emsisoft IS reports no problems, check security center service Okay. Reboot again not in SM. And the Red X is gone.

 

Rico, I don't use Windows 8.1 so the only help I can offer at this time is to suggest that you contact Tony by email at supportATshadowdefenderDOTcom or post something to The Official Shadow Defender Forum (link below), someone might pick it up there.

ps Could you let me know if you find anything out about this?

 

I’m using Windows 7 - 64bit. I don’t use SD much, I only use it for testing software.
My system hangs more often when I open more exe files, play more music or video. Sometime, the system cannot even sleep or hibernate.
These problems do not always appear, but they make me annoyed.

I’m not sure whether SD cause system hanging or it conflicts with my Avast 9. Recently, SD was updated new version with: fixed: A memory access violation. But I’m not sure these problems are resolved completely or it still has bugs. So I decided stay with build 325.

 

Hello,

I' m having the following problem.

After the installation of Shadow Defender on W7 x32 and reboot the system, the process "defender daemon" does not start.

If i run the SD desktop icon the process opens and closes inmediately.

also the tray icon is missing.

I've already check the configuration on msconfig, and did a clean uninstall and reinstall but still happen the same.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Hi arimarjul,
I've replied to you on The Official Shadow Defender Forum suggesting that you e-mail supportATshadowdefenderDOTcom

I personally experienced the same problem that you are having many years ago with a much older version (1.1.0.331 I think) and I could not find a solution to it. Tony was not available at that time for me to ask for help.
I was using Windows 2000 when I had this problem and I found that it prevented me from installing any other version successfully apart from an early version Shadow Defender 1.1.0.278. That was the biggest problem that I have ever had with Shadow Defender (I tried everything at the time) and it was only resolved when I upgraded to XP. Things have progressed since then, so contact Tony at the above address

I uncheck the msconfig-startup entry of SD, is it needed?

 

Yes you can. It doesn't affect 'shadowing'. It is used for certain SD alerts, such as when the disk volume is getting full.

 

Please check and post the results. Does SD work normally?

 

Yes, works fine here.

Win 7 64

 

So I will not get those alerts, then what will happen if the disk volume is getting full?

 

My frd gave me the licence & it registered. Does this means its lifetime licence?

 

As long as the licence is genuine, it is a lifetime licence. Your friend should have a record of his purchase to show you that it is a legitimate licence.
If your friend is also using the licence, that is not accceptable and you would need to purchase a licence for yourself.
Keep your licence safe because if you upgrade Shadow Defender your licence might need to be entered again.
I'm not suggesting anything by this, just trying to give the best information that I can. I hope that you enjoy using Shadow Defender.

Patrick

 

How do I know if the licence is genuine or not?
My frd said, he got 3 licence from his frd. 2 licence, he is using on his systems & 1 he gave me.
If the licence is not genuine, it will be blacklisted anytime & I will be asked for valid licence by SD, right?

 

Right.

 

...or you just may see smoke coming from your PC.

 

White or Black smoke?
