    Bolded part by me. I'm afraid that will be out of the question. That way this thread will come very close to sort of an Official support forum - and that's not the way it works over here, sorry ;) .

    That said: this thread stays open as it is, and good luck to all involved ;)

    regards,

    paul

    Hi Ilya, will DW protect users when IE runs the Java VM?

    Thanks.

    DefenseWall HIPS v1.20 is released! Online Armor compatibility issues are fixed, the program's speed is improved, enable/disable protection feature is added. So, I start to work under the online update module.

    Thanks Ilya. That's great news for OA user like me. I will give DW 1.2 a quick test and see how things go.

    I'm very sorry, I've found the system memory leaks inside the driver's routines. Nothing horrible, everything is fixed. Just re-download version and install over.

    Excellent - I did havesome problems with the release version of 1.2

    but I switched the driver with the beta of 1.20 driver you sent me and that seemed fine.

    I'm terribly sorry, I've fixed mshta record within v1.20 and just found out that "Add/Remove Programs" is mshta script. So, it will be runned as untrusted within v1.20. I've just immidiately fixed it and released v1.21. Now it is OK with this window!

    I'm interested in testing and making constructive suggestions.
    Is this registration offer for testers still valid?

    Thanks Ilya for all the quick fixes. I was watching my system going down inexplicably after installing 1.20 and scratching my head. Now, it looked fine.

    Test program is temporary closed, because I need to earn money to continue my work. Test program will be continued later.

    Cheers for the update :)

    had to use Enable/Disable the other day - worked fine

    also had a worrying change of crc for defensewall.exe shortly
    before I updated. Not sure what caused that. I keep backups
    of all my important exe files so it wasn't a big deal

    DefenseWall v1.30 is released. The number of the registry keys controlled is increased, DefenseWall's root registry key is unaccesible for the untrusted processes, now there are two work modes- regular mode and expert mode.

    DefenseWall v1.31 is released. As usually, it is bugfix version. System Safety Monitor compatibility issue, short names within start process routine and occasional freezes of the untrusted processes are fixed. Also Disable protection feature is improved- restart is not in need anymore.

    Already from v 1.00 I added folders A: and D: to the untrusted list. When continuesly upgrading I checked and they were still untrusted every time, but now I went from 1.21 directly to 1.31 (expert mode) and suddenly those folders werent untrusted any more.

    Does this mean that in the future I will have to - manually - check that all apps and folders I have myself added to unstrusted are still there and if not I will have to add them on manually after every upgrade. I hope not - I need to be able to trust that my settings are not changed by an upgrade.

    Best Regards

    Aha, thanks a lot, it was a bug within the driver, I haven't noted it by myself. I'm very sorry. Now, I've already fixed it and you can download new bugfixed version- 1.32.

    Might be just me .... a bit scewed up but .....


    After installing the new version and rebooting I noticed that none of my untrusted processes had the defensewall titlebar - untrusted

    Protection was set but......

    I needed close all processess then toggle protection: off - on

    restart processes to get protection o_O

    All seems to work fine now :thumb:

    My 1.32 install worked fine.

    Your probably much more savvy than me - but - when I downloaded and installed DW I used IE as trusted and set PG in learning mode. I once installed without PG in learning mode and that caused problems allthough I manually allowed everything PG asked for.

    I could probably use IE untrusted during download and then install DW as trusted, but still PG in learning mode is a must.

    Probably info of no use to anyone.

    Best Regards
