I'll wait 2 days and if no problems it will be released.

@Defenestration

Thanks for the new suggestions, I wrote them all in the todo list so I will add them in the next version.

 

good job Andreas

 

I was wondering how soon ERP starts in the boot process and when does it start enforcing the rules ?

What happens if a rule doesn't exist but ERP cannot display a Allow/Deny dialog to get a user decision (eg. during boot, computer locked etc.) ?

 

Suggestion for GUI text changes.

Change the words order in two attached screenshots:

1.jpg: "Protect the execution of processes with a password"
2.jpg: "Protect the execution of command-line strings with a password"

Replace text in brackets (2.jpg, 3.jpg and 4.jpg):
support wildcards -> wildcards are supported

I think it sounds better...

 

Another text correction....

Open GUI, go to Advanced and select Temporary Allowed Processes tab.
We can select only one item but when you make right click there is "Remove selected items" option.
It should be "Remove selected item".

ERP loads rules as soon as possible and then it waits the PC is correctly booted.

 

Hahaha!
That was fast, Andreas!

 

Working fine here windows 7 64 bit and vista 32 bit....

 

Hi,

I'm glad that you appreciate it, thanks.

About my suggestion, just to make it clear, it would be nice if you could right click on the trayicon, and could immediately choose (one of the) lockdown (or disconnected GUI) modes. So it should be a separate entry, without having to navigate to Protection Modes.

If you then double click on the trayicon it will go into alert mode, another double (or single) click opens the GUI.

 

That was exactly what I meant, this way you don't have to allow all apps from the Program Files folder.

Yes I know, but that's not what I meant.

Btw, what do you think about adding a behavior blocker module to EXE Radar Pro? Would that be something easy to do, or would it be complex?

The reason why I'm asking this, is because I've been testing SpyShelter Firewall, and it's a real disaster when it comes to configuring the app.

The GUI (not the look and feel, but usability) is horrible. Same thing goes for Zemana AntiLogger (Pro version).

And then I look at ERP's GUI and I start dreaming.

 

I think it will be attractive to have a program like that

 

The older versions had a behavior analysis and Andreas decided at one point that it is not needed any more.
I already asked him about this....he wants ERP to stay simple and not bundled with too many features.
But maybe he could revise his attitude?

 

I'd like to see support for multiple user accounts. One global config with an Admn account required to manage ERP.

And I also agree to keep this lean and mean AS-IS.

The behavior blocker is the grey matter between the keyboard and chair.

 

Suppose the rules have been loaded and a system process is not in the whitelist - will ERP stop the process from executing, or will it allow it because the system hasn't finished booting ?

ie. at what point does the protection become active ?

 

AWESOME!

 

Well, it should of course be optional, so if you don't want to use, you don't have to.

Yes, but that wasn't really advanced, if I'm correct?

 

@ novirusthanks

About the Sandboxie problem, right now I have to disable ERP when I'm sandboxing apps, so that's why I asked.

It would be cool if you could give Sandboxie (or other app) the ability to execute any app, even when it's not whitelisted.

 

It can be either the first, or the last line of defense. It should be the first in most cases

 

It all depends on how it's designed I suppose.

For example in both Comodo and SpyShelter Firewall, you can disable certain modules, you wouldn't even know it's there.

That's true but to me ERP feels like a product that's quite "finished".

 

Absolutely

Until it supports multiple user LUA on Windows 7+ with admin-only accessible global config, it is not. I think this would be a function in the core design of this product, given it's primary feature.

On another note: perhaps it would be a good idea to start a new thread with each major/minor release? If I was to come here from a search engine, I might be lost in a sea of discussions under this one gigantic thread. It could drive

Good job so far. This great software.
