Crystal Security - Discussion

@Tarnak Thank you for the feedback.

PS. Emsisoft alert is strange...

Kardo

 

Hi Kardo...You're welcome.

P.S. Perhaps, if you PM @emsisoft or @Fabian Wosar from Emsisoft , they can have a look.

 

Okay. Thanks!

 

I just tried the search, with just one letter, then two letters. Seems more work is needed with that...sorry.

Hi Kardo,
Thanks for the newer version.
I am still having some issues.
1)I'm using the newer portable version and already getting the .net runtime error again. I'm wondering if it is a conflict with CCleaner as it seems to occur often when I start CCleaner.



2)Although I don't see 2 taskbar icons now , I'm still seeing a CS icon momentarily in the taskbar when booting up which quickly disappears before the UAC prompt allowing CS to run.
3)I'm also still seeing 'Cloud connected' even though a firewall rule has not yet been set up.

regards
Gordon

 

I clicked on settings, and the system froze. See screenshot that shows the clock at 11:47 pm. After about 5 minutes, I tried the Windows + L key combination.

That got a response after about a minute, and it brought up the login screen, and I entered my password.

So, that allowed the first screenshot to be completed, and a further two screenshots to be taken at 11:53 pm and 11:54 pm, the last showing the settings UI, that I was trying to get initially.

Spoiler: Screenshots

 

About a minute ago, while the settings UI was still showing, I clicked on the 'protection' tab, and the program just disappeared off my screen.

 

I know why it disappeared off the screen. It is because had pulled the USB stick from the my tower when I had the system freeze, I mentioned above. I thought I was going to need a complete reboot, but as described above, it wasn't required.

All is well, this time when I reconnected the USB stick to my computer, and restarted Crystal Security, I was able to go straight into settings this time, and no freeze. I think, maybe WSA had interfered somehow. This time I took the precaution if disabling the WSA "Realtime Shield" component. So, all is Ok...I think.

I didn't have the time to extensively test but search seems to filter only the file name not path.

 

@Tarnak

Currently search filters out only the file name. Should I add path filter too?

Kardo

 

@ghodgson

Gordon, Thank you for the feedback!

Hmm.. I'll try to find solution - It is possible that I'll send so called "Developer version" of Crystal Security to re-produce your issue and also find source of the problem.

I'll look into it.

Seems like cloud connection checker is not working.. Will be fixed.

Kardo

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

 

@Tarnak Thank you for reporting the issue.
I'll look into it. Will be fixed.

When changing custom settings the reset button acted as apply and the apply button acted as reset, therefore it is impossible to add folders to be monitored. Is this bug fixed?

 

Hi Kardo...info from SG...your page is blocked by Webroot as unsafe

 

Hi,

@Windows_Security
Yes, it is fixed. Please take a look how to add custom scope via Settings (attached screenshot).

@ichito
Thank you for the information.

Regards,
Kardo

 

Thanks Kardo, I see you have been busy.
Downloaded new version and will give it a whirl, I'll get back to you if I come across anything.

 

Hi Kardo, - guess what ? - .net runtime error again, (straight away after opening the portable version).

 

@ghodgson
Hi Gordon, Thank you for the feedback. This is known issue and is under investigation.

Another user also reported this bug and I re-produced it yesterday after update.
Now I am focused on this issue and hopefully will be fixed with next version.

Regards,
Kardo

 

Hey kardo. Remember vaguely about a future version with no .net framework requirements so how is the development on the none .net version going? I have the same problems as the reported before. Seems .net is causing way too many problems.

 

@Pedersen

Hi Pedersen,

Thanks you for the interest.
Unfortunately there is no plan for the none .net version. Currently I'd like to work out
all features, fix most of the bugs and so on based on .NET 3.5.

.. but let's see what the future brings.

Regards,
Kardo

I hope you like it.

Hi Kardo,
I've had to stop using this version of CS because of too many .net errors stopping other progs such as CCleaner from running.
I noticed at boot up that I don't get a second icon in the task bar anymore but CS doesn't allow anything else to run in the task bar either until I allow CS with the UAC prompt, then the other stuff loads. ( Windows firewall control and Volume controls ). This should not be happening.
Regards
Gordon

 

@ghodgson

Hi Gordon,

I'll create a "Developer version" ASAP.. so we can work out your reported issues.
Maybe I know the source of this issue - "errors stopping other progs such as CCleaner from running".
It is possible that it is caused by Digital signature verfication feature but I am not sure at the moment..

It would be nice if you could make a video of this issue.

Finally, I hope that your reported processes detection and other issues/errors will be fixed in the
next Beta version and you can continue to use the program.

Regards,
Kardo
