@moredhelfinland

What is your next step and/or steps to keep this from happening ?
Thoughts/Opinions ?

You may try CryptoBuster Anti-Ransomware Solution, if so let us know
the results, please! post here....

 

I tested G DATA two years ago, and found a serious bug in it. Reported it and their Tier 1 team could not reproduce the bug, but their Tier 2 team was able to.
Now after two years i installed G DATA again, but the bug is still there. Reported it about two weeks ago and they replied that it will be fixed on the next software update.
It is a feature called "Monitor critical folders in particular".
I've adjusted the virus monitor settings, so it checks the files "only check on execution" and i set "Monitor critical folders in particular" to check %appdata% (read and write, so it overrides only check on execution setting).
If you close the GUI, then re-open the GUI, the "Monitor critical folders in particular" is resetted. I really hope that they fix this serious bug, because i really like G Data and its DeepRay and BEAST features.

Yes im kind of a G Data fanboy, so i made a slighty modified wallpaper (lol)

 

@stapp
Oh sorry, like they say in Star Wars "Stay on Target".
You can delete my post.

 

I subscribe to SpyShelter (SS) Premium. Five days ago, I submitted a support ticket for a relatively minor question. After receiving no response for 5 days (SS Support usually responds within 1-2 days), I started to write a "hurry up and get on the ball" follow up. However, I belatedly remembered that SS is home-based in Poland, a nation which is directly next to an on-going war. Further, Poland has born the brunt of receiving millions of refugees from that war. So, instead of a gripe, I sent them a message of support and understanding.

Surprisingly, SS Support replied within an hour. I will paraphrase the gist of their reply:

"Thanks for understanding and boosting.
We are still ok, helping neighbours.
Though I fear ... our country might become a battleground.
Strange times have come."

 

SpyShelter 12.8 Released (September 5, 2022)

Announcement

Hi,
Spyshelter silent does not work on my win 11 home, could not load driver. Its something about driver thing!
Just to let you all know!

 

I still have a lifetime license, but I don't use SS anymore because its driver is not compatible with Windows 10 and 11 core isolation. Disabling core isolation solves the problem. But this is something like choosing between a knife or a stick to defend yourself.

 

I suggest you send them a support request. They have always answered my requests promptly & helpfully. Yours, too, I hope.

Strange, looking at Spyshelter's website I don't see the Firewall version anymore.

 

Select other language, can still see the firewall version.

 

I see that, strange not in English though.
I know it was there not long ago.

 

Changes at SpyShelter (SpyShelter Firewall Discontinued)
October 12, 2022

 

@mood

That's a bummer.
Thanks for the info.

 

@mood -- Dropping their firewall (FW) is a very wise move for Spyshelter. Windows has a built in FW plus there are many 3rd party FWs that are based on Windows internal FW apparatus. That is the very reason I chose to subscribe to Spyshelter Premium version (it does not include the FW).

Spyshelter Premium offers strong security, using methods that are either missing or under-powered in AVs and other security apps.

 

I have to disagree because when it comes to anti-spyware apps, they should always offer a basic firewall which can block outbound connections. Also, the network monitor is one of my favorite features in SS, so it would be a bad move to remove this. Why not simply discontinue SS FW and add the features to SS Premium, this would make more sense. I would like to know Datpol's motivation for doing this.

 

not good but what about Spyshelter Internet Security!!!
i think they will make new thing then if it is its better drop Premium

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SpyshelterInternetSecurity_is1

 

The name "internet security" it's a deep history of SS and been appeared before first build of offical FW version

 

@ichito

Do you have a link for the beta and does the beta require a lic.,key?
Keep us updated!

always the best,

 

thanks for info ichito
i hope change their mind
we need someone create petition for it
if they just remove restricted app and firewall tab then there is a not much problem
and still good to use but not other feature.
they should keep
Application Execution Control and registry,User Defined registry key
but i am still looking for that missing actiontype

 

Hi people, here is official statement about SS what actually covers our suppositions and speculation about SS future. Info isn't so informative as I could expect

Mentioned beta version is from 2011 and I don't know if I have it in my archive

 

@ichito
It is just me, but, I stay away from over software that over a few years.
But , truly appreicate you letting me know that is from 2011.

Kind regards, again thank you!

 

@Moose World -- SpyShelter is a LONG time out of beta. Its latest updates for current releases were issued just several weeks ago, in 2022.
