    This is an amazing little program, I'm very impressed.

    Is it ok to make wording suggestions to make some of the dialogue less ambiguous? This is a top-notch app, and I'd love to see it look its best.

    Great job on the updating :)

    Looking just about right I would say. Wording on Close All Untrusted
    is good.
    One small error - isn't there always - in the install dialogue
    first page. It should read 'DefenseWall is a strong...'

    The Add/Remove Untrusted section is perfect :)

    Nice one

    I'd like to see examples of what the Secured Files section is about and
    how it is used.
    Seems a little baffling to me.

    It might also be a good idea to have some sort of indication that there
    is now a process explorer when you click the bar above the Close All
    Untrusted Applications button. This isn't obvious at all.

    Are there any extra skins yet?

    :)

    The files and the folders you can not access form the untrusted applications.
    Will be described in help file.
    No.

    Hi guys.

    The DefenseWall is released. The improvements are:

    1. Help file.

    2. Build-in support of the Mozilla Suite/FireFox and Opera browsers as untrusted.

    3. All the folders are protected now (not only %windir% and %Program Files%).

    4. Rooles are now active for the .cpl files.

    5. Multiple symlinks error fixed.

    6. Internal improvements.

    7. Bugs fixed.


    Great thanks to all my beta-testers! I LOVE YOU! Without your help the product couldn't be as good as it is now!

    P.S. I'm looking for the local area resellers.

    The start of this thread.How do you get the 100 years rego and stop the popups.

    Can't understand why a lot of other people aren't trying your software out and telling how good or bad it is.

    Well for a newbie trialing your proggy,all I can say is goodgye all resource eating software.With a router firewall and Defensewall anything else is not needed.

    But still have Ewido and E-Trust as on demand just in case.

    I don't know. I can only guess why. As I suppose, the people are too inertive and trust only in PR'ed soft. I have no resources for the massive PR company for now :(.

    Yes. The program is designed for the very low-resources computers as mine one.

    Anyway, I'm trying to make my job the best and to make the best protective software for everyday use for everybody.

    BSODW.
    Just got around to checking out DW, version 1.11, sounded great....
    BSOD on reboot during install and every boot after that.
    Used last system settings that worked to get in and uninstall it.
    WinXPsp2. Ms-antispyware. AVG. That was all that was to boot up with this testrun of DW, and it BSODdomized me:'( :D

    This looks very good. Each release is an improvement. The interface is looking polished. Documentation is improving.

    I'm running it with jetico and antihook and everything seems to be "co-existing" nicely.

    Pretty impressive so far. Thanks for the opportunity to participate.

    cheers

    On the SoftSphere site (under "about us") there's a reference to an official forum. Any ideas as to where it is? Can't find it anywhere.

    Thinking of purchasing but am reluctant with such new software.... and little things like this also put me off.

    Otherwise seems great :D

    Puddingalien!

    Did you use v 1.11?

    Did you mail support? Normally you get a quick answer and if its a bug you probably will get a fix also quick enough.

    Best Regards

    There was the forum, but it was switched off by the hoster during the phpbb-worm epidemic. I just have no time to rise it up now. All my time I spend to improve the program and to work with the users anwering questions.

    As about the purchasing- that is your choise, but I'd like to note, that only this will help me to fix all the "little things" and to continue hard work under the project.

    Well I did just place my order & am waiting on my key. The software impressed me too much to pass up :)

    In the future, a dedicated forum would be nice/helpful, however I understand why resources may be focused elsewhere.

    Thanks :D

    So far it seems excellent. I'm still learning.

    You might consider putting the web-site address somewhere on the main panel. Make it easier to locate you :)

    "You might consider putting the web-site address somewhere on the main panel. Make it easier to locate you"

    That's a simple but good idea. Also could the interface be resizable?
