Zemana AntiMalware 2 BETA

EXACTLY!

 

Restore from quarantine does not work for me, anyone else having the same problem?

 

I'm using the paid for version of Watchdog Anti-Malware Premium v. 2.60.186.1 (a rebranded Zemana Anti-Malware for a US marketing affiliate/authorized seller). After reading the latest in this thread I noticed that what is being complained about in this beta forum has already been made a part of the paid Watchdog: namely -- no more choice of Deep or Smart Scan and no option or even an alert before deleting files. I was shocked to see that, without any type of notification to me, WDAM had REMOVED a totally legit set-up file (Netgear Genie Set-Up.exe) and is blocking Game-First,an integrated component of ASUS ROG-GRs' set of gaming enhacnements.

The only way I learned of these actions was by clicking on Real Time Protection under the Settings Menu. Although the page now says that these actions were taken as far back as July, today is the first time notiification of them appeared on the Real Time Protection Settings page. There is as of today a new section on that page named "History" There were two updates to Watchdog yesterday. In other words, WDAM had deleted or started blocking two programs months ago and today was the first time there was any indication of them. 00

There is no record of these actions in the Logs, although they are listed as active links in the new History Section, that take me to the logs page.

The merging of Deep or Smart Scan happened I guess yesterday, as I frequently scan and just noticed the change today.

So it appears that what we don't love is here to stay.

 

Evidently Zemana is uninterested in our views. Ah well, there's always MBAM, wot?

Maybe.....

 

Friday

Monday: New update not released yet..............

 

Just bring the "ask user" option, thank you!!!

 

My lifetime version turned into free version (I am using portable). I tried reactivating license and that did not work. I sent feedback to developers last week and no response. Tried stable rather than beta and still it is "free version."

Thanks anon. Hopefully it will be restored in next version. Will see what happens.

 

Regarding license activation problems, we are aware of this and it will be fixed in next release probably today or tomorrow. This happened while trying to make portable version always being free and setup version with option to activate real time protection. Some tiny thing slipped by, but it will be fixed.


Regarding ask user option:

This is because we have moved real-time detection code from user-mode to kernel-mode for security and stability.

To suspend process in kernel-mode and wait for user input in user-mode is not a good practice, this is why many security products including Windows Firewall do not show question dialog for waiting kernel events (Process creation, Network connection etc.)

Anyway your feedback is important for us and we'll think how we can implement it in a proper way and bring it back. We are monitoring this thread very closely and our software continues to grow with every bit of feedback that we receive.


Thanks again!

 

Thankyou very much for your input. I'm sure your comments about bringing back the 'ask user' option will be greatly welcomed by members here who use ZAM (like myself).
Thanks again for an excellent product and for listening to us.

Thanks for the explanation, good to know there is a reason beyond 'simplification'. Hope there is a way it can somehow be implemented.

 

+1!!! The explanation brought me back to the ZAM booster squad!

 

Zemana Antimalware is detecting a Firefox file which doesn't seem to be included in previous version of Firefox, but is present in the latest version 50.0. I have uploaded the detected file to virustotal, jottis & metadefender which produced zero detections. Why it is considered a PUA? I've tried doing some searching, but I'm unable to find out anything about this file and what it does. I've chosen the action "report as safe" (based on the results from virustotal etc), but I would like to know what the deal is. Copied from the log:

It's actually in Program Files (x86).

 

That should be fixed Thanks!

 

Yup all fixed. Thanks!

Zemana folk - thank-you for detecting the FF & Chrome WOT addons. If it weren't for ZAM detecting them they'd still be installed in my browsers & I'd still be completely unaware that my non-anonymised browsing history was potentially ending up goodness knows where. Your detection made me do some research, and I found an article on ghacks, and then a thread on here. I also saw the addon was pulled from both the Chrome and Mozilla stores, but they were not pulled from my system. Nor was anything communicated to me by WOT. Thank-you for being on the ball!

 

hi:

please fix UAC warning issue with zemana antilogger. Each time I reboot the pc the win 10 UAC warning asks to allow zemana while other autostart apps load fine without triggering the UAC. Thanks.

I just ran a scan, and it found the following to be suspicious. I did a search in Google, and nothing comes up. I don't want to delete this unless I know what software it relates to.

Expected decision...

 

Removing "Deep Scan" option, removing "Ask user" option and now
removing Pandora from portable version, removing the ZAM Premium portable version complete.

I and many others we are waiting for the new version of ZAM Premium portable.
And what we got? A slap from Zemana instead! Nice!

For every one which wants to use the ZAM for on demand scan only =
ZAM portable: without Pandora, is a half baked product.
ZAM desktop:
a) Use so much RAM for nothing.
b) Starts when windows start.

 

IMHO portable version should be a scanner only.
