VoodooShield/Cyberlock

I think this might be because I had the installer remove the 3 .dat files (snapshot, settings and userlog) during the beta test, just to make sure everything ran smooth (ha!), and that there were no issues with the database. The new version that I will release soon does not do this anymore, so please let me know if it continues to happen! Thank you!

 

Great! thanks

 

Thank you Tarnak, good catch! Yeah, I will have to fix that. I know exactly what is wrong, but it might take a little while to fix. In the meantime, whenever you need to start the Windows Installer Service, you will need to turn VS OFF (Disable Protection, Training Mode, Smart Mode (Web Apps Closed) or Always ON (click to turn OFF). Thanks again!

 

Ok, I THINK this is the answer, if not, please let me know. I just tried installing VS with Revo and it would not let me. Revo told me that it did not have access to the VS folder in Program Files, so I then uninstalled VS and deleted the VoodooShield folder from Program Files, and it worked. Please try this, and if it does not work, let me know. Thank you!

 

The new sandboxing feature is almost ready! I am not that familiar with sandboxing, so I was curious if someone who was familiar with sandboxing could answer a silly question for me. What happens when a user tries to run an installer sandboxed? Since the installer typically has to do things that require admin privileges, it probably is not a good idea to run an installer sandboxed, correct? So how should we handle this? I was thinking, if it is just a normal exe, then VS can run it sandboxed, but if it is an installer, then we should prompt the user that it cannot run the installer sandboxed? Am I on the right track? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Glad to help...I worked out that the only way to bypass the problem was to exit VS, via the systray icon.

 

I noticed this, too....Should I do anything?

 

Hi Dan no it's gone but it will not play nice with my new VPN service as it uses Appdata Temp folder and a new Temp Folder and file everytime I start it so it's never the same name so I can't Whitelist it when ever I start it and VS just freaks out per say so do you have any Idea's? Here is the VPN service https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/

Thanks,

Daniel

 

Yea I seen that to, is it alright Dan to remove the Items on there if we don't use the programs?

TIA,

Daniel

 

I have another one, but it lists, additional software running on my system. I don't I need do anything with the others, at the moment. Dan, will let us know.

 

Hmmm, I am not sure what to do about this. I tested under XP and could not get the processes to repeat like that. The code is written so that it ignores duplicates, but obviously it is different under XP . I will see what I can do, thank you!

 

Hey TH, I tried to download the software for the VPN service, but it looks like they do not have a trial. What is the exact path of the appdata temp folder (I realize that it changes)? Does VS block it, or does it do something else freaky? Thank you!

 

Yeah, definitely! I just added some of the more common web apps, but you can modify them however you want! I am sure a lot of users are going to wonder that as well, but I would like to leave them in because most users will not modify these settings anyway. I should put some instructions on that tab . Thank you!

 

Hopefully my last post makes sense, if not, please let me know!

 

Here is 2.41... there are several minor bug fixes and I added C_E's Disable Protection icon... I can change the look of the icon if you guys have any ideas on how I should change it. Thank you!

Well, that is different... after clicking through to allow, I then got an instruction to close VS, which I did...but then nothing...It looks like the install, just stalled. I will reboot and see, what happens with VS.

.....

 

What exactly is the web apps tab for?

 

Just what I thought, after the reboot...still VS 2.40 is installed. This was showing in the logs.

 

I have a problem with 2.4. When I go to add an app to the web app panel, VS in TM shoots up to 28% and the machine slows to a crawl making it impossible to make any changes.

Win 8.1/64

Will what happens in 2.41 later today.

 

I installed 2.41 but it will not start...

 

Yeah, we have to figure out the best way to get users to choose Install instead of Allow when installing new software. The Allow button is meant for exe's that are not installers. The installer should have prompted you that VS was running, and that you have to right click and choose exit before installing the new version... I will check it out though. Thank you!

 

The Web Apps tab is where you can add your own unique web browsers, email clients, etc, so that VS will toggle in smart mode with them .

 

Yeah, I tried to dial it back a little, but then the polling interval was a little high. So 2.41 will do the same thing, but I have some other ideas I can try. Thank you!

 

Hmmm, that is odd. You might try to uninstall VS, reboot, and then reinstall. Please let me know if you continue to receive this message! Thank you!

I see that v2.41 is available so will install that and see if I can reproduce this...just thought that you should be aware.
