    Please, can you add a button for updating the list of drivers found in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ from the interface of DRP.

    It would be useful for install/update of applications with drivers. :D

    I uploaded a new build that can be downloaded from here:
    http://downloads.novirusthanks.org/files/DrvRadarPro_Setup2.exe

    What's New:

    + Optimized the About window
    + Added option to Import/Export the whitelist
    + Added option to purge old hashes when a file is whitelisted
    + Added new protection modes: Lockdown Mode (Default), Learning Mode, Trust Mode, Disabled Mode
    + Allow user to enable a protection mode for 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, until reboot, permanently
    + Minor fixes and optimizations

    When you click on WhiteList->Add, you can select if add multiple files or scan an entire folder (by default it is selected C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder).

    @Sampei Nihira

    You're welcome :)

    This is grrreat! As a stubborn continued-user of XP, DR is a key part of the security fortress I have erected.

    XP forever!!! :ouch:

    caused a BSOD after few minutes of running and prevented my machine to boot so had to remove it from startup inside safe mode and then uninstalled it.

    windows 8.1 x64 update 1
    emsisoft AV
    MBAM 2 pro

    I have an issue with Aida64 www.aida64.com

    Aida64 has need to create a AIDA64Driver.sys driver in the temp folder of the user but I can't add the file through the main window of DRP (the entry 'add to the whitelist' in the contextual menu is grayed). :sick:

    For creating the driver, Aida64 use 2 special files that can be found in the folder of the application :
    kerneld.x32
    kerneld.x64

    These files must be whitelisted and I can add them but not AIDA64Driver.sys.

    Thanks for the feedbacks :)

    @genieautravail

    I will try Aida64 tomorrow and I'll report here.

    @woomera

    I have installed DRP in Win 8.1 Update 1 64-bit with startup option disabled.

    I will install Emsisoft AV and MBAM Pro 2 in a few to see what happens.

    Did you whitelist all the Emsosoft and MBAM-related .sys files before the BSOD happened ?

    @jmonge

    I may add the option to password protect the changin of protection modes

    After installing NVT-DRP (latest setup2) on Win7 SP1 every time I open DRP I get an error message box stating "Failed to retrieve driver handle". This happens with the startup option enabled or disabled. Fwiw I'm also running Webroot SecureAnywhere.

    Yes, that should be normal probably because WSA blocked DRP from loading the driver.

    Can you check WSA logs to confirm this ?

    Yes, judging from my WSA log DRP is (U)ntrusted. I will send a copy of my log to Webroot, but it would be more effective if you were to contact them! :confused:

    No more issue with Aida64 (I'm using the zipped version).

    I have done some cleanup on the computer and there is no more AIDA64Driver.sys file in my Temp folder... Perhaps a remnant of a previous version (I use Aida64 or Everest since several years on this computer (both setup and zipped versions) ?

    kerneld.x32 wasn't in the whitelist because the file doesn't have an extension (.sys). I had added to the whitelist all *.sys files that I have found in Windows and Program Files folders.

    Aida64 is running fine now only with kerneld.x32 and kerneld.x64 files whitelisted. :D

    I got one time the error message box stating "Failed to retrieve driver handle" because DRP was starting twice with computer !
    Check the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] for duplicate entries.

    Nope, that's not the problem (at least in my case) - it's pretty clear that WSA doesn't trust DRP!

    What about an option to start DRP "minimized" when launching manually?
     
  21. Nice freebie for XP.

    I uploaded a new build that can be downloaded here:
    http://downloads.novirusthanks.org/files/DrvRadarPro_Setup2.exe

    I added the option "Search Hash on VirusTotal" on RMB on Events TAB, plus I added RMB options in the WhiteList TAB, and some other minor improvments.

    How to Update ?

    1) Close DRP
    2) Uninstall DRP
    3) Install the new build

    A reboot is not needed.

    @TomAZ

    Sure, that can be added soon.

    @Scott W

    Have you solved that issue with WSA ?

    I tried DRP + WSA in a VM for few minutes and it worked fine.

    Awesome, thanks Andreas
    Would it be possible to add an alert mode so one can whitelist or block a driver rather than drp blocking it because most of the time it's safe.
