VoodooShield/Cyberlock

It would be pretty easy to implement SmartScreen into VoodooAi, and it would make an amazing combo. We still might want to alert the user if the VoodooAi score was greater than 0.9500 or something, but this would be really cool, assuming that there are very, very few false negatives with SmartScreen.

 

I think the only issue with this is if MS ties in Smartscreen with Defender, those of us that Disable Defender
would have issues with VS. Until we see where MS is going to go I think this may not be as good an idea as you
think Dan.

 

Yeah, please, you're baffling me further with SmartScreen over here. I just got done likening Windows 10 to a hamster in the MRG Effitas thread, I need a break. lol.

 

I just tried Run-By-Smartscreen on Windows 8.1 with WD disabled, and it worked... but we might run into other similar issues. Also, there is probably a good chance that we will not be able to implement SS on Windows 7, because it was not system wide... something like that, right?

It was just an idea, hehehe, I want to find a really great whitelist to combo with VoodooAi.

 

Hehehe, is SS that bad? I really have no idea if it is or not.

 

By the way Dan, the VS gadget does sometimes disappear when watching DVDs [in full screen mode] with my media player. Sometimes it's there, sometimes not.

 

There is an option to hide it, as well as an option to keep it on top of other windows if I remember my settings off the top of my head.
Have you checked in there ?

 

Hey Krusty, what is your setting for "Hide the desktop shield gadget when another program is full screen" (In UI Tweaks) set to?

If it is checked, and the DVD app is truly full screen, then the gadget should disappear in about a second. But if the DVD app is not completely full screen (but looks like it is full screen), then the gadget will not disappear.

 

Yeah, kinda like windowed mode but not true Full screen, a common gaming setting where the window is stretched
to the borders but not full screen, I know what you mean.

 

If it was a setting it should be consistent though, right?

 

maybe I missed something in between the lines? VS does get VT results, that's some insight. I also check every file or its hash at VT and now often at Kaspersky App Advisor. And when more curious, run it thru Cuckoo which VS makes easy to do. perhaps I'm not novice or average now (depends who you ask) but I was more so once upon a time. people learn, can learn. then again I do know, and have helped, people who are clueless and don't care to learn. I did that for my "fun" but realized it was not worth the effort. I put VS on my wife's pc which gives me peace of mind. And get this, the IT guys at my day job blocked VS access to internet at their firewall, so I can't really run it there. just seems dumb to me.

 

I ran CFW a long time ago, didn't like it then, could have been the user. I just put CFW10 into my relatively new hardware WITH CS proactive settings, and so far it's been excellent and not bothersome at all. She is the first to say, run it at default settings at your own risk, and the more posts I read about folks unhappy with CFW are not using her settings. Default, probably sucks.

 

helped me that this rig has 2 monitors. I slowly crawled thru the video as I adjusted the CFW settings. Doable, but you have to want to do it.

 

I see VS a tad differently. I don't test malware and go to nice sites so the chance of me getting attacked is a black swan. If I install a programme it is well-known and from a reputable site (no cracks), hence I disable VS for the install.

VS is there, in my mind, to catch the black swan of a nasty, clever person spoiling my day by trashing my PC through a surreptitious download. If VS pops up when I am not consciously installing something, it's time to confirm the block, followed by some research.

 

+1

 

VS at default settings has more built-in exploit protection than CFW at CS settings.

 

How did you come to that conclusion.

 

Dan has many posts on this thread that explain the hard-coded exploit protection of VS, which provides comprehensive protection for web apps, and more limited protection for other vulnerable apps, such as MS office.

Compare that to CFW 10 at CS settings, and you will readily see the difference. I am not putting down CFW. I have often used it myself, and it is indeed a great product. But my personal preference goes to VS, for various reasons.

Now, you can argue that all this extra exploit protection of VS is unnecessary, overkill, etc,, but it is there.

 

I will not argue anything because comodo firewall configured CS way is very simple and very effective with no evidence of it being breached by any of the stuff you are speaking about no evidence but it is what it is. Thank you.
That being said VS is a solid product which i love,and Dan does awesome work. Thank you

 

Just some (proven) very occasional mistakenly whitelisted malware by the cloud look up, undetected because the no HIPS at paranoid mode.

 

Both products provide great protection. VS does not suffer from the very occasional mistakes of the Comodo cloud look up, as @guest pointed out.

 

should be correct Krusty
now just make sure your in actual fullscreen and not a stretched "windowed mode"

 

I haven't used SBIE in a long time, but I remember that you need to use a specially crafted template in order for other security apps to work within the SBIE virtual environment.

 

3.59 running ok here since release, but it does flag up updates from Sandboxie and Avira surely should know about them by now. Also keep getting Nvidia flagged

 

Just curious: if I disable windows script host by registry hack, and VoodooShield is installed, then when I reboot, I get this error message.
Does VS run a script at startup?
