The unofficial Shadow Defender Support Thread.

Cruelsister did a test and it survive Petaya Ransomware.

Thanks Cruelsister for test and LunarWolf for sharing...excellent result. BTW shows that SD is not pointed as the protection against data-leaking...it's thing that users often forget.

 

Yup, then I recommend WFC (Windows Firewall Control) to control that leak...

 

Best match for SD is either WSA (with antikeylogger protection)/ BD free with zemana free antilogger + WFC / Panda free with zemana free antilogger + WFC /Qihoo 360 TSE (no local engines enable with antikeylogger protection) + WFC

 

The "best"?...it's SS

 

I've had problems with Zemana and Shadow Defender compatibility in the distant past. I can't remember what the issue was but I think Zemana caused a problem with Shadow Defender.
I'm only mentioning it casually, in passing.

 

The thing is not about best AV. Is about using a cloud AV (so that one does not need to update + a good firewall/firewall control + a antikeylogger)

Kudos to Tony!!!

 

What does he mean @ 2:23 "We'll also have to do a hard reset for this one"?

He also recommends using an outbound alerting firewall. Is there a particular firewall that anyone can recommend that doesn't slow things down in Windows 7, that serves this purpose?

I also tried EXERadar Pro and it ran pretty smoothly. Does anyone here use it with SD?

Thanks for the video.

 

Shadow Defender 1.4.0.623 is now available.

http://www.shadowdefender.com/download.html

 

v1.4.0.623 (2016-04-14)

Code:

File     : SD1.4.0.623_Setup.exe
Size     : 3.18 MB
SHA1     : 1A17FFB4B00951CD16724B954A414594AA0AEF40
SHA256   : 1A34C26F8292053AC2CE5BB253CA0492D6A3800B4DDCEB023B325574F5E32188

 

Caspian-

1). The reset- just meant that the reset button must be pressed to boot back into Windows as the normal Start menu button to do this no longer existed.

2). The Outbound Firewall- this is really a necessity for anyone that does not have one. As any data stealing malware must connect out to do any damage, such a firewall will alert you to this fact and give you a fighting chance to remediate.

3). And it's a She (trust me).

 

Respect...

 

So I updated to the latest version 1.4.0.623, and just to test it out, entered Shadow Mode, this message came up though.

Now I don't use SD often, in fact almost never, but I don't ever remember seeing this message before, and nothing was running in the background and a reboot doesn't change things, I still get the same message. Are others getting this too?

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit if that matters.

 

Thats a message you can safely ignore. Its just to remind you to close any file or program that you might be running. And dont worry, you might see it even when nothing is running. I never see it in W7 but see it often in XP, despite nothing running. You can click OK or cancel. I usually click Cancel and after a few seconds, reopen SD, and get in Shadow mode.

Okay that's a bit reassuring then, are others seeing this though, I'm pretty sure I've never got this before, because in my mind a message warning like this is a red flag, like when you need to reboot and it asks to close/save things first.

This could of course all be nothing, and maybe my mind is just being forgetful, this could have always been the case from the first time I've used the program, and only now I'm wondering about it.

 

Hi Special, 1. Its been like that forever. I use old version 1.2.0.346 in both of my computers. 2. What Pete and I are telling you is 100% correct. Relax and have fun.

Bo

 

Okay I'll try to relax.

 

Good . I felt like you the first few times I saw that message.

Bo

 

Thanks so much for the tip. I'm going to give Emsisoft's EIS a try and go ahead with a purchase to EXERadar Pro.
