SpyShelter Firewall, Premium, Free v8.5 Released

What is new;

Notes from me;

-Numeric key encryption problem has gone. KeystrokeEncryption is working fine with numeric pad now.
-There were 56 sonar, Now we have got 57.
-Antikernelmodekeylogger is working on 64 bit systems now. This is revolution for SS. v1to8 didint support Antikernelmodekeylogger on x64.
-Some GUI changes; Drag and drop is supporting transparency now. When you drag SS, it will transparent.
-Version numbering changed. All SS product has same numbering system now.Sory for that, i was tried Fw 8.5 Private beta but final version still v2.5.

Update;

 

Fantastic news...thanks Guest for info and Datpol for developing of SS

 

Thanks guest, updated

Rules.

 

Does this firewall also sport a user configurable HIPS like Outpost where you can add selective registry/file locations?

I'm at all not familiar with SS but read many favorable reviews by users/customers.

Thanks

 

It's not similar but :

Rules.

 

Yes, SpyShelter Firewall v2.5 is the actual version, not v8.5, which is SpyShelter Premium. SHA1 hash of new fwsetup.exe is 44B56E03181467079A3412BD459D7379F508F623.

 

Sure wish the free version supported 64-bit systems...

 

I second that.

 

Well free version has a nice HIPS module, when you auto allow Microsoft and set deny all for explorer, office, chromium, pdf, flash dll, etc, it can be made a nice three zone HIPS (allow OS, deny all user programs, ask others)

EDIT: after trying out the premium, I added the free version as a re-placement for UAC (elevate Admin silently). Since I have a deny elevate to unsigned programs, this is a nice 3 zone policy control.

The perfect HIPS for a minimalist, adding just what need, see my crazy rule set

 

I will give it a try.

EDIT: feels very light.

 

What's the difference between "Allow All", "Allow only Microsoft" and "Allow All automatically"?

 

As far as I understood (documentation not clear to me --http://www.spyshelter.com/download/manual.pdf)

- Auto Allow high security
Allows programs which are internally whitelisted (selected signed and unsigned), ask for others

- Auto Allow Microsoft
Allows all binaries signed by Ms, ask for others

- Auto Allow medium security
I guess all non-siged binaries of the internal whitelist plus all signed applications, ask for others

- Ask user
allways asks user

When you set to AUTO block suspicious behaviour, all asks in the above lists become a block when you have selected an auto-allow. Don't what conflicting "ask user" and "auto block suspicious" will do together.

 

Seems that the experimental driver for kernel mode keylogger breaks SandBoxie....

 

I liked the software, but is this company trustworthy? I try to use only softwares from very known vendors, like Eset, Kaspersky, Microsoft, Google, specially security softwares.

 

Nice update, and as always is security focus.

 

I´m planning to buy a new PC soon (I´m still on Win Xp), and this sure looks like a cool tool.

Can someone perhaps post a screenshot of all "monitored actions"? TIA.

 

List of monitored actions

 

Thanks guest, that was fast.

I´m currently trying to figure out what my new setup will be on Win 8, and this seems to be the only tool that offers total control together with Privatefirewall.

I´ve always been a fan of classical HIPS, I´m still using System Safety Monitor + Neoava Guard.

 

Would Spyshelter Premium be overkill if I installed it with my current setup (in the signature)?

 

Yes, Outpost covers most, just add a free encryption solution for your browser or reversely drop Outpost and use SpyShelter FW

 

I recommend you to add Zemana Antilogger Free.

 

hi,
Avast! Free+SpyShelter Firewall is enough

can anyone reproduce this on windows xp pro sp3 x86?
1.open main window of SpyShelter Firewall from systray
2.on task bar you must see button of SpyShelter Firewall
3.right click on SpyShelter Firewall task bar button and select close context menu
4. now open task manager and check SpyShelter.exe is running or not

 

thnx for your reply,
could you give me an example? Should I look for a Chrome-encryption-addon? What would you recommend?

 

Thanks, but why would you prefer Zemana free over a premium license (I own one) of Spyshelter (don't own one with the firewall)

 

WoW, Neoava Guard ! A blast from the past I was on 98SE @ the time so couldn't try it, but i did use SSM, which was Very good, mostly !

My motto is, if it's good & works, why change
