New Antiexecutable: NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro

That's awesome news! Welcome back Andreas! I can't wait to try the latest beta of ERP when it's released. I hope you don't change the UI too much though. I don't think there is anything wrong with the current UI. I really like the tabbing design in ERP, it's so easy to navigate through the settings.

 

Grrreat news!!!

QUESTION: Which Windows versions will be serviced (XP, Vista, 7, 8 10)? (I hope XP is included.)

SUGGESTION: Keep the present version free, but the new version should NOT be free.

 

Thanks! I indeed installed 579 build of HMP.A. Thanks for clearing that up. And apologies for blaming ERP!

 

+1. Yes, I hope it doesn't get too complex. The simplicity of ERP is one of its attractions.

 

from what @novirusthanks (Andreas) said, they will redo it from scratch , which is a good thing. However, it will surely take lot of time and testing.

 

+1 on that important suggestion!

 

-1 for that

seriously, you want dismiss the main strenght of ERP? or i didn't understand what you meant ?

Personally, i won't like that. Hash is the only way to differentiate a legit file from a counterfeit one. Hash is the file's DNA. I know that ERP is chatty when it involve vulnerable processes but no way i would dismiss it.

Without hash , how can you differentiate weaponized cmd.exe from legit cmd.exe ?

 

I had added about 150 entries in the Advanced>Vulnerable Processes list, based on Jeff's (hjlbx of old) AppGuard posts re hardening the xml.
The trouble is when there are Windows 10 upgrades like AU, the hashes change and essentially one has to re-add all the vulnerable processes.
I noticed this because after upgrade to AU, I was no longer getting the vulnerable process alerts, and on investigation found many if not all hashes had changed. I am sure others can confirm this?
I have now reverted to just the default vulnerable processes in NVT ERP, as I am now covered by AppGuard with those processes set as User Space=Yes.
But I was hoping there may be a way Andreas could 'intelligently' update the hashes, rather than having to re-add the processes with the new hash after each major upgrade.
Sorry, I should have been clearer.

 

What the hell, this is very exciting news! I do hope it will still have a user friendly GUI, so it should be nothing like Smart Object Blocker. What I like about the current ERP, is that it's so simple. I also hope that "install mode" will be improved, it should not alert about vulnerable processes. And if possible, it should have "strict parent-child control" as an option.

 

I know you did , but Jeff list isn't supposed to be used in other products, only on AG. AG don't have a vulnerable process list , hence doesn't alert for each them. AG just function by user and system space.

Indeed , each modification of a file changes its hash. hash is a unique signature. you change one byte of the file hash will change.

i understood why you requested it, but by asking it, you would reduce ERP effectiveness (the way the actual ERP manage it)
from what Andreas said earlier , he will do it, some other softs can do it; so i guess ERP would do it too.

 

@novirusthanks can you also update regguard service for Windows 10?

 

But for those who don't use AppGuard, ERP Advanced>Vulnerable Processes is a possible mechanism for implementing the list by Excubits' Florian / Jeff ...

Indeed we wouldn't want to compromise ERP effectiveness! I hope Andreas can work some magic.

 

Welcome Back! Glad to hear the exciting news about NVT and of course anxious to test any new builds

 

Yeah, wow Shadow Defender like return from the wilderness just when most had given up. Welcome back. Hope this also means a future for other NVT products including my favourite Smart Object Blocker but will settle for Win 10 friendly (for me at least) ERP .

Cheers

 

Here we are.

No one put much stock to when I mentioned he would make his return IN DUE TIME.

Well, lookie who it would be

Really looking forward to the NEW improvements! Oh, of course (I knew all along anyway) WELCOME BACK!!

 

yep, should be good.

In the mean time, anyone on windows 10 who thinks ERP is not initiating properly at system startup, just look in your hidden icons. You will probably find it there. ERP likes to hide, but is always running.

On an unrelated note, sometimes ERP will glitch out in a Standard Users Account. Hoping Andreas will fix that.

 

you should still get the regular prompt for a changed file, like you would even if it was not a vulnerable process.

 

Should I accept the hype and hold my breath? The plans above sound like a lot of work, especially re-creating from scratch. When would a realistic ETA actually be for first alpha/beta build? Hoping to hear from @novirusthanks regarding progress.

 

Perhaps NVT started rewriting the software since some time ago not just yesterday or a FEW days ago.

 

Andreas is surely aware that he has all this audience of fans to this NVT program (and others) that are pent up with even more anticipation than ever now.

Microsoft sure didn't make it very easy on developers when they fudged up a bunch of things on the previous and last releases of the O/S.

 

I hope that's the case. There has been a lot of chatter on Wilders regarding the future of this product, words like "abandonware" being thrown around frequently. It would be nice for the members here, as well as publicity for NVT, to keep us out of the dark. We're talking months of people recommending the switch from NVTERP to VoodooShield. If NVTERP 2.0 has been in development for some time now, it would've benefited them to speak up and stop us from assuming the software is dead.

 

I think the versioning number would be 4.x since current one is 3.x.

 

Clearly you're missing the point if the "2.0" figure of speech has you hung up.

 

Ah ok it was a figure of speech, alright.
