    Disabling Real-time Protection and Disabling Starting with Windows, then a system restart seems to change it back to how it should be.

    So is the wifi thing a bug? If so I will wait and not install this new version.

    @Krusty

    Glad to help. :)

    P.S. I have tried just disabling Real Time protection, without trying "Disabling Starting with Windows", and then restarted my laptop. Still seeing the same thing as I posted above.

    We reproduce the issue. It shows the network provider's path instead of the name, but having no effect on network connection. We will try to figure it out and fix. @Tarnak @Krusty

    WMI firewall Only supports Windows 8 and above. There is a tooltip when hovering over this option.

    I'm pretty sure WMI can be enabled in Windows 7. :doubt:

    My bad, it should be WMI firewall not WMI.:rolleyes:
    WiseVector StopX can always detect WMI based attack. With WMI firewall, the detection can be much more stronger!

    Can WiseVector StopX be installed to a different drive/folder (example: D:\WSVX)?
    If so, how (during installation there seems to be no such option)? Thank you.

    Just what I was looking for (missed the little down arrow). Thank you for this great soft!
    One more question. Are all the config settings etc placed in the program folder?

    No worry. It just shows the network provider's path instead of the name.

    are these changes implemented in the base WSVX , the ones not requiring the firewall, eg Detected malware which modify system VBR, disk partition tables.

    I am still using base WVSX

    WiseVector v303 is installed on two Win 7 machines (in D:\Wisevector) with identical configs.
    I am able to get "streaming" updates on one machine but updates keep failing on the other!
    Q1: What are the update/config files called? In which folders/subfolders are they placed?
    Q2: Can I simply copy" these" updaded files from one machine to the other? Thank you.

    My v3.03 has not updated. Does it have to be installed over the top? It won't download on it's own?
