Realy?? Two questions: - how many time a month have you wrote to him? - there was different issues or always the same (process hollowing?) BTW...what are the apps that correctly detected process hollowing?
1. It was only a few times per month 2. Different issues reported as discovered 3. ESET, Emsisoft, HMPA, Vipre, etc Hollow process is essentially code injection, but SpS has a problem with consistent detection and prevention of code injection on 64 bit systems.
Im using Spyshelter Premium and im quite happy with it. Its only software, when, for example Steam is doing its update and of course when steam.exe is changed, it prevents steam to start until i tick "allow". On ESET, the same behauvior causes a pop up that an .exe has changed, but in the background steam updated itself and started and that ESET "do you want to block it" etc...So, ESET is an excellent AV and Firewall. For HIPS and Keylogging Spyshelter and HMPA for Exploit protection rather than ESET one. Personally i prefer layered solution, so if your AV or IS easy to get killed by a malware, you still have 3rd party kernel based keylogger and hips to prevent direct disk access, combine that with Vlad's and Dan's VD you're pretty covered i think
He's not using SS anymore, but it's mostly useful to protect certain apps against exploits. If they don't have access to certain parts of the file system and registry, it should be difficult to successfully run malware. But I got annoyed by it, because when you need to save files, you obviously need to make certain folders writable. Yes it's a good product overall, I've noticed that when I block certain things when installing software, it really does block them. So normally speaking it will also block malware that make use of the same methods.
Yes that's a pity. You would hope that support would be more open to bug reports and requests. Actually, they are open to this, but sometimes it feels like they are too quick to dismiss reports. No way, I will never use Comodo products again, they might be technically quite advanced, but I always had weird problems with it. That's why I decided to settle for SS, which might not be perfect, but is quite stable and will block most stuff. Actually, when I switched from Win XP to Win 8, I ran without HIPS for 3 months, because I wasn't happy with SS, but there simply isn't a better alternative when it comes to a standalone HIPS. PrivateFirewall is too clumsy and Zemana has decided to kill the user controlled HIPS, and now acts more like a behavior blocker combined with a cloud AV.
Yes...it is...but SS has also the feature to protect folders. I didn't test such way but I think those certain writable folders you can add to list of protected with "personal" attribute so it will means that only allowed processes can read/write the content of it. The rest will be prompted.
Using the latest free version on my Asus Transformer, (auto-allowing Microsoft+auto blocking susipicios behaviour, only HIPS enabled) a) Chromium "open other process with update intend (40) is not shown anymore" b) Loading of driver of ProcessExplorer is not blocked anymore Not mentioned in the release info, but they must have implemented some changes of the HIPS
I think Datpol is silently making changes to the HIPS - instead of posting what exactly was fixed and on which bit systems in the release change logs. Why Datpol would go that route I do not know - because advanced users that are interested in knowing about fixes are essentially left in the dark - unless those users are willing to put forth real effort to test the soft to determine what might have been fixed.
One month ago we were talking about this issue on our Polish forum...it started due to my fault but the finish was quite surprising and maybe this is answer for your question https://safegroup.pl/temat-spyshelter-firewall_4263?pid=209531#pid209531
"Don't even bother to try"...sorry guys...still have big fun while reading yuor comments Place, don't feel ofended
Just for you Attempting to sumarise ichito's post there. In [square brackets] are my comments. On Vista I used about 30 versions of SS since v9 ... When I use SS I don't need anything else except few on demand such as Shadow Defender, no conflicts. I installed new version and looks like SS keeps up with my writing [my note: communication with SS or typing?], perhaps the cause was Firefox where versions newer than 47.1 don't have CoolPreviews which is to me useful. Two things: Delay of typing just started - see attached [my note: I'm not logged in there, cant see, looks like ProcessExplorer] Another issue - strange behaviour of SS, which I told SS about, is that it does automatic block of PRocessExplorer, even though it's used by many and now comes from Microsoft. Loading and registration are blocked, but the process itself is allowed for two further actions [my note: image is of SS log, and I have trouble translating the last sentence] Another, Third issue - headers of log are in English. ichito - what the heck is "sterownik" in English? Driver? I never learned computer-speak in Polish, hence my troubles.
I think yes. sterownik = driver sterownikowi (sterowniki (?)) = drivers niektóre sterowniki do = some drivers
I have installed SpyShelter Firewall 10 and have problems to start VoodooShield. When I deinstalled SpyShelter, VoodooShield starts automatic with Windows 10. When I installed SpyShelter, VoodooShield do not start with Windows. It is also not possible to start VoodooShield manual. You see a little work at the mouse pointer but VoodooShield do not start. When I close SpyShelter it doesn't help. I have to deinstall it. Do I have some special configuration in SpyShelter?
SpyShelter and Voodooshield are both HIPS and will conflict with each other. I have seen SpyShelter do this with other softs with HIPS functionality - like Webroot. Anti-executable is a specific type of HIPS. VS is an anti-executable.
No, I suspect not, but I have never tried a SpS-VS combo. SpS prevented other HIPS-like softs from working properly though...
there is no conflict here between SSF and Voodooshield in windows7 backup spf rule try full uninstall spyshelter and Voodooshield reboot install SpyShelter Firewall -reboot-set in ask user then install Voodooshield-when spyshelter ask or allow deny allow them or go to install directory of Voodooshield and allow its all exe i a enjoying from spyshelter and how very well it work
i know that's why i put windows 7 if it not work on 10 he must contact support so if it is really bug they will fix it
Datpol will recommend to remove Voodooshield. It is stated on their homepage that SpS might interfere with other security softs that have HIPS-type functionality.
https://www.spyshelter.com/help/#spysheltercomp anyway it work here as i tested and restarted pc Voodooshield seems to be only command line blocker and anti exe
