Katie DriveSentry

rainbow1112,

My copies have just updated and read 2m+ signatures on the status bar so it looks like they have fixed the server issues.

yeahh we are getting the up to 2 million plus

 

My Database just updated but only 1.8m in database

 

check Advisor.

 

Hi, I like very much DriveSentry: high protection, easy to use for friendly users.... So in a next future I think to use it to protect an educational LAN with an Internet connection, in a School.
So I would know: is DriveSentry a continuing project, that will go on in the future ? I ask it because in the past we saw a lot of good programs, like NeoavaGuard or ProSecurity, that were discontinued, and I need to be assured about DS

 

the advantage here is that as i was told by one of the global forum people that drivesentry very soon will be recognize by microsoft as antivirus software
and the other 2 are hips products and the competation is very hard for hips at the moment(some hips products been discontinue)

 

i have DriveSentry running for about a week with no problems and i love it already.now i have a question for people with more experience with the software:i noticed that DriveSentry has a large malware database detention,is it good at removing also??thanks in advance any comments are welcome

 

The DriveSentry icons are ugly! I have been using DriveSentry GoAnywhere on my iPod Video 30GB. The autorun doesn't work for me so i have to start DriveSentry by double clicking on the drive on My Computer.

 

Nice program. After removing all the programs out from the access rules: and setting options for the Advisor Automated Decision Options to No, it still auto allowing so called whitelisted programs. I think personally for someone as advanced as myself I would like to be able to choose what I want to allow, basically create my own white list as I go. I'm guessing that the signatures in the local data base is overiding my wanting to manually allow which programs are allowed. I really like this program though.

 

To me the pop ups are very poor. No good explanation that what is going on, by the pop ups.

 

Hey jmonge, I am guessing that the prior problem between Sandboxie and DriveSentry is now fixed? Used to give BSOD's back then.

it is fixed cause i am running them both with out any scratches

 

Mine works nicely too. Have no problem during bootup anymore and doesn't clash with Defense+.

 

Hi evilscribble have you try fully uninstalling DriveSentry and reinstalling. Use a free tool such as CCleaner to clean the registries leftovers. And what version of DS are you using anyway. The pre-released version works fine now.
Yeah the icon are too large in my opinion.

 

i like everything about DriveSentry except the tray icon,it is kind of ugly overall it is a fantastic software i am running it with sandboxie and i plan to run it with defensewall hips in another machinne

 

Don't get too confident with it guys, It fails the zemana key logger test.

EDIT: I seriously notified them about a month ago and no replies.

 

Kyle1420,

I doubt they would add keylogger protection as DriveSentry is not a full blown HIPS product. I think other users are using Comodo or Online Armour to compliment DS on this type of threat.

sandboxie or defensewall will be a good drivesentry companion

 

Yes, I for exemple: on a pc I use DS + Comodo fw/HIPS.

 

i was trying comodo for the heck of it and defense+ is a really strong and configurable hips very tigthplus it plays nice with drive sentry.

 

How DS works with Online Armor?

 

yuo know what to be honest mmm it slows down my boot up time alot.web surf is fast

 

Well I tried DS a while back and it killed my vista with random BSOD.I waited it out a bit and taken another shot now and So far So very good.Question here though does DS run realtime AV engine where it may have a disagreement with Nod32 at some point in Time.

 

probably but you never know untill you get the blue screen i got yesterday with comodo and sanboxie

 

thanks and Yea I thought it may be like having two AVs running real time,oh well rats.
