    "Improved partner system" - I don't know what that means, but hopefully it doesn't include any adds or pop-ups from some of their "partners".

    I have been real time protection free on my main machine for well over two years without a single issue - No AV, no nothin'. I did test several AVs, AMs while using Time Freeze, but they always slowed my machine down too much for me to actually install them for real.......... Once you get used to the response of a machine with no real time protection, it's hard to go back to any slowdowns.

    Then I tested ZAM and was completely impressed with its invisibility on the system, so it got installed for real. I am an experienced, low risk user, but it is nice having the extra protection of ZAM............. Hopefully they keep it invisible, and that includes pop-ups of any, and all kinds.

    I submitted a bug report at Zemana's support@. And here, with a bit less detail, as an FYI.

    Windows 7 HP SP1 x64 - Anti-Malware Trial

    To begin: when ZAM's not running, these issues do not exist:

    Ever since 2.18.2.519 I have been seeing "blocking dangerous file" alerts thereafter both the Quarantine and Reports panes are empty.

    These occur when working with my encrypted self-extracting 7Z and ARC weekly backup and archives, using AES and Serpent256. And with files created with Steganos Locknote 1.5.2, which uses AES. The system (3rd gen i7, 16GB RAM) becomes sluggish and unresponsive.

    What's worse, after these occurrences, opening a local portable password manager whose db files are Twofish encrypted, a BSOD will occur. Two so far, the first a surprise, the second a test - which I won't do again. :eek: (The only BSODs so far were a RAM stick fail earlier this year and an AMD video driver issue when I built this system almost four years ago.)

    In fact, the Locknote files and the pw manager folder were excluded in ZAM since I started using it. (Their exclusions have been a consistent strategy over the years.) Excluding the Z7 and ARC components resolves some of the problem, but not completely.

    BTW, those alerts go by so fast they're almost impossible to read.

    Today's update to .634 - no fix.

    I think it is something related to the cloud detection (Metascan).

    Thanks for the reply.

    The funny thing is there were none listed there when blocking occurred.

    o_O every 5 minutes? That's way too much, imo.

    Just tested the latest beta release against a fresh of pack malware and it blocked all except one, which in any case looks like a false positive.

    By way of (unscientific) comparison my regular a/v blocked all but three, whereas the "market leader" second opinion scanner failed to identify sixty nine.

    ZAM also blocked the latest incarnation of Cryptowall 4 which is now being delivered as an exploit payload, although it is likely that most other a/v software is now doing likewise.

    Well done ZAM - seems to be getting better with every release.

    RE my post 1429...

    I've exhausted attempts to implement an exclusions scheme that works around the issues when building Serpent and AES encrypted 7Z and ARC self-extracting archives and Locknote files.

    And that Anti-Malware will present a split-second block alert without logging the event is a serious flaw.

    I have un-installed the stable 2.18.2.634 trial because:
    1) the issues described above,
    2) my discomfort with TCP banging OpenDNS (or anything with any in-the-clear protocol) every five seconds,
    3) the incredibly invasive right-now no-choice behavior of the UI "Check Updates" and the right-now no-choice automatic updates on ZAM startup,
    4) the average every-other-day stable and beta releases suggests the development is still in an alpha+ state.

    With regard to four, this is a Good Thing, of course, and ZAM is exemplary. But not for a production machine running critical processes. Like building encrypted backups for cloud storage.

    As for three, it's incredulous this is acceptable to so many Wilders members.
    •Or has this been resolved with "Added an option to ask user" in today's beta??

    In the meantime, I continue to rely on Anti-Logger Pro (and some others) for its protection and wish none of these hair-brained automatic schemes migrate to it.

    Hopefully, a revisit to Anti-Malware in a the near future will be rewarding and I'll keep this thread in my RSS feeds.

    It was every 30. Emri posted up a short while back an anticipated change to every 15. Maybe a mis-info in the changelog??

    Someone monitor the signatures.db in the AppData local folder. That should clear up the pondering in less than an hour.

    Although five minutes is OK.

    Let's do it every second then......... :rolleyes:

    There are some drawbacks if the software phone home every 5 minutes, imo.

    Why does ZAM (portable), latest stable and latest beta, insert 90 Root-Certificates (Half of them expired) in the WIN7 Cert-Store?

    Before I ran ZAM, I created a restore point.
    I tested on 9 machines and 7 where affected.

    Not only RCC showed the questionable 90, they where present when running certmgr.msc

    Restored Windows, and the dirty ninety where gone.

    This is a serious issue, that needs to be fully disclosed.

    I too, run the portable version on XP, and I can't tell whether the same thing has happened, since I can't check with RCC, as it is incompatible with XP. Not good!

    Can confirm your finding. Hmm ...
    Using RCC, 3 questionable certificates before, 93 after running ZAM Portable 2.19.1.502.
    Does not happen with installed version of ZAM.
    Busy restoring.

    I run the latest stable portable version of ZAM on Windows 10 x64, but RCC does not report 90+ certificates on my system (only 2, which seems to be almost correct).
