    Yes, it is "NOT" reasonably reliable or for that matter accurate and is for all purposes obsolete. Still some sites, like in this case, subscribe to a tendency to leave old comparison tables sit beyond newer versions and findings that have vastly improved so that table cannot be relied on IMHO.

    On another note, i run a chain of tests (Closed EQS, although installed), and with RTD "allowed dll injections" whereby old CyberHawk immediately stepped in to cover and terminated the dll injections. As for me, that much is proof enough for the time being old version Cyberhawk is still a reliable Behavioral Blocker which can safely and accurately intercept in the event something of this nature would escape RTD, which by the way, DID NOT!

    Nice work, RTD.

    If a review of my present SSDT table (Ice Sword) can be of any use for anyone studying deeper into this, i screened this view for overview and examination of just some of the hooks. The list for RTD hooks (not seen because of length) is immeasurably much more then i ever noticed before with other versions which again indicate to me more coverages per interception ratios.

    Opinions anyone?

    I tried it on my test image (Thanks to Leapfrog!) and sadly it slows down my browsing quite a bit. Some pages would even take a few seconds to open. Removed it and everything came back to normal.

    Does any of you experience the same problem? maybe it does not like my system.I must say that I am running very light right now, only defenseWall, Kerio 2.1.5 and the old version of Cyberhawk. My computer is running quite fast, so maybe it's normal that I see a difference?

    I also try it on a FD-ISR image.

    I have a dual core and I don't see any difference at all.

    Ref: browsing speed, how can it slow down Internet? I don't understand, try with another browser to see.

    Yeah, I know it's odd but I tried it with Opera and Firefox with the same results.Anyway I may try to reinstall it once more and test it again later this week.

    I'm using Real Time Defender: no problem with KIS 7.0.1.325, and no problem running Opera or IE 7. It seems a bit lighter than PS 1.43.
    I forgot: no problem running Returnil 2.0.1 too.

    AFAIK it was very ambitious of them to iron out some bugs and release this.

    I must admit no slowdowns here with a slight exception when i briefly teamed it up with EQS as a dual HIPS test. Didn't try it with FD-ISR so that might be another matter that made for what was experienced.

    I will say that in tandem with a reliable old CyberHawk version, it runs smoothly for my enemic 512Mb memory module on XP Pro SP2 and doesn't hinder CynerHawk's behavioral blocking at all when allowed to pass RTD's alert here.

    on my last post (#35) I said that went importing my File Protection rules the path have changed from "C:\WINDOWS" to "%systemroot%". I'm not sure it's a bug but if the path is set to %systemroot% the rules do not apply to sub-sub folders.

    As example I've set a rule to "Ask User" for "*.bat" files in C:\Windows + match all subs directories. With "%systemroot%" as path I got a prompt when I create a .bat in "C:\Windows\system32" but NOT in "C:\Windows\system32\*\*". With "C:\WINDOWS" I got a prompt in all sub directories...

    Same goes with %systemdrive%.

    Would you mind expounding a bit more on this? As to exactly where you are finding this new change and can that be an issue at all of concern? This HIPS, is new to some of us, especially after a long run with EQSecure.

    And i don't suppose theres any setting or rules that could guard folders like EQS is able to do is there? I mean you can set any directory, system or otherwise to be monitored in EQS to watch for any file entries whatsoever and alert immediately to it. And is it accurate to assume RTD is a mostly execution protection HIPS at the moment an executable or other file is launched, which it does seem to jump at and suspend.

    Thanks EASTER

    Hi,

    there is no redirecting to various sites anymore at rtdefender.com.
    Instead this line is shown
    "Website is under construction... Real-time Defender Inc."

    Cheers

    reported the issue to RTD team, they confirmed the bug, will fix it ASAP.
    Please set the path back to "C:\WINDOWS" for security reasons.

    I spoke too-early :( . Does someone try RTD with KIS 7 ? I installed RTD in the right way - I used PS some times ago -, and after the reboot I turned RTD in normal mode: it regularly sees new processes and new applications running, but if I run a file .exe stored in my data partition ( D ), to install a new sw, sometimes RTD sees and stops it and send to me an alert, sometimes no. The setting is all right, I compared it with a friend who run RTD but not the KIS: we have the same setting, but RTD in his system runs perfectly and sees all, in my not.

    Note: when I used PS 1.43 with KIS 7 I had not this problem - and in the RTD installation I 've given to the KIS all the permission for RTD.

    KIS has a HIPS module. Is it running? If so, it may be arguing with RTD.

    I'm dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to RTD johncage, is there a screenshot you could post to better indicate exactly where this change should be made?

    Thanks whatever you can do, and nice find.

    EASTER,

    Simply go to the "File" menu / "System Folder" section and in the right panel the rules + paths will appear. Double-click on any rules to change the path from "%systemroot%" to "C:\WINDOWS"

    Yaa, but I enabled only the application analyzer. But the point is, as I wrote, that when I used PS 1.43 I had the same KIS versione and the same settings, and all runned regularly. This is the reason for I posted.

    I am trialling RTD 1.0 with my current setup in a FD-ISR snapshot now.
    Have used Prosecurity 1.43 before.
    My setup is using OA AV+ (131) and BOClean and Linkscanner Pro.
    I use Firefox with Noscript and Adblock Plus and Firekeeper.
    (Note: have just bought and started using Sandboxie as well now).
    Running smoothly after installation and will put it report back.
    I have always preferred PS over other apps such as SSM etc
    and always believed in and loved OA.

    regards
    phil

    Maybe KIS 7 updated something caused a conflict with RTD. RTD team didn't change a lot of code in v1.
