VoodooShield/Cyberlock

Further details shown by WAR...

Spoiler: screenshot

 

I had RAR on XP . But, don't know what comes with Windows 10. Must have built-in compression. Not sure how/what to test on Surface Book.

 

I don't know if this happening before or is new?
Every time PC is (re)started I get this message:

 

On my secondary machine, Adguard also updated successfully with VS 3.51.
But - I had forgotten to set VS to 'Disable / Install Mode' ... it was in 'Smart Mode', issued a block message, and when I clicked it to Allow, VS crashed (Shield and taskbar icon disappeared).
So not sure what happened there, or if there may be a bug.

 

From memory you will get a pop up like that on Fridays with the free version.

 

Dan,

On my main Win8.1 x64 v3.52 is causing lag for Sandboxie processes and Excubits drivers (FIDES and MZWriteScanner) still. Just like v3.51 did.

See PM.

 

I've seen these pop ups about VS not detecting an internet connection since a few versions back. Somewere the result of an entry in HOSTS file but I never tracked down the culprit. I still get these pop ups on occions but not that often. Anyway regarding your question "Even if you are connected to internet.
does VS retries or how many times VS tries to connect to cloud for verdict?"

As far as I know there's no option to retry for a connection. If you know that the file is safe you can allow it. If it's something new that tried to run you should choose "Block" then scan the file using other methods. You can also edit whitelist / command lines in VS to unblock the file then try another scan with VS.

Anyway the point is that internet connection detected or not detected - if VS prompts on a file you should investigate before allowing.

 

the only time I saw that was when my firewall blocked it.

 

Highly questionable and hypocritical actions from members that are personally trying to achieve maximum privacy here.

Thanks for the new version, @VoodooShield. Can't wait to see what Alex is cooking up for us.

 

I did not know Dan wanted to remain anonymous. I just thought is was a good video. only found while browsing youtube videos on protection

sorry Dan

 

Thanks Dan, trying out 352 now.

 

Thanks Dan, 352 is much better with regards to the number of command lines I'm seeing when I open any content using Firefox flashplayerplugin_24_0_0_194.exe.

I used to see a new line for every new instance... now I just see one for the first instance then no more after that.

I have tried adding the plugin when it's running to be auto detected in the Web Apps thinking this would remove the need for any command line to be created but I still see that first one every time even with it shown as a running Web App. However just to get the one now is a vast improvement on the situation I was seeing before with the multiple command lines being created on each new instance that the plugin was required.

Great work as always and looking forward to any future developments.

 

Hi Dan - 351 is working well. I'm seeing a lot of UAC elevation now, surun is picking it up and being pinged by VS like so:

This one is in response to a click on a magnet link. I have made sure surun.exe and surun32.bin are whitelisted, but... I use surun because it gives my elevation while keeping my own user identity instead of being changed to Admin identity.

 

@gorblimey You should try 3.52.

It may not solve your problems but it's the latest version and well worth trying.

 

Hi Krusty - What's the best way of upgrading? Some programs do it seamlessly, but others have functionality changes. The last upgrade to 351 I disabled everything in sight, and did a full clean uninstall/reinstall, but that gets tedious after a few
And I did remember to toggle JS ON for this reply--you can maybe tell I forgot it in my last There's a couple of sites that get annoying if I let them have the JS

 

Just install normally. It will overwrite any older version.

Using 3.52, everything fine here.

 

Salutations/Greetings!!!

Is VS protection against the newest Cerber ransomware / Locky ?
What about satana? And Fantom?

Kind regards,

 

VS is a Lock so unless you let it run (Allow) then Yes it will protect you!

 

@Triple Helix, thank you for the answer!!!

What about boot time protection? If the a ransomware that forced the PC to reboot?

Anyone?

 

To force the PC to reboot it would need to be executed. If it can't, them is not possible to force reboot.

 

I could be wrong but if ransomware got to the point where it actually rebooted your computer, I think game would be over unless you were using a program like shadow defender and you were in shadow mode when it happened. All I am saying is VS should be catching it before that point. According to a few testers here VS has been catching everything thrown at it.

 

Right! The point is to STOP it from running in the first place!

 

I can assure you that if it was executed, it's process would be suspended and you will have an alert from VS to quarantine or block the execution. This application as mentioned many times is a computer lock. You would literally have to allow the execution before you would find yourself in trouble.

 

This. Open Process Explorer, run an executable, watch it become purple/suspended until you choose a prompt from VS. This process has been 100% consistent for every file.
