FDISR & IFD Test

Uninstalling FDISR Test

Situation :
Snapshot-01 = primary snapshot with ZAF + AVG as security setup.
Snapshot-02 = working snapshot with LnS + NOD32 as security setup.

Test-1 :
1. Snapshot-02 = Active Snapshot.
2. I uninstall FDISR only the program, not the snapshots.
3. I reboot and desktop = Snapshot-02 with LnS + NOD32 as security setup.
4. I reinstall FDISR and reboot.
5. I reboot in snapshot-02 everything was normal but my FDISR-icon was gone.
6. I reboot in snapshot-01 and desktop = Snapshot-01 with ZAF + AVG as security setup + FDISR-icon.
7. I reboot in snapshot-02 still without FDISR-icon.
Somehow the setting of icon in Tools/Option was changed into "No Tray Icon", I changed it back "Always Icon".
Everything back to normal.

Test-2 :
1. Snapshot-01 = Active Snapshot.
2. I uninstall FDISR only the program, not the snapshots.
3. I reboot and desktop = Snapshot-01 with ZAF + AVG as security setup.
4. I reinstall FDISR and reboot.
5. I reboot in snapshot-02 everything was normal and with FDISR-icon
6. I reboot in snapshot-01 and desktop = Snapshot-01 with ZAF + AVG as security setup.
7. I reboot in snapshot-02 and desktop = Snapshot-02 with LnS + NOD32 as security setup.

Conclusion :
When you UNINSTALL FDISR, your ACTIVE snapshot is your NEW desktop and FDISR is gone of course.
So FDISR doesn't keep the primary snapshot like Peter thought, it keeps the ACTIVE snapshot.

There was a little trouble with the FDISR-icon in the first test, but not in the second test. I don't have an explanation for that, but it was easily fixed.

 

AcadiaIt wasn't this one was it ? https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=747738#post747738
If you referred to my comment near the end, I was relying on memory at the time so an up to date test is always great to hear about. Good work, ErikAlbert.

Here's a thread where we got into discussing defragmenting with PerfectDisk from different FDISR snapshots: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=633373#post633373

 

Yes I'm also INTERESTED in Raxco response.

 

Hmmmm, possibly, but I thought that it was longer ago than last month; don't know.

So the moral of this test is :
When you want to get rid of FDISR, the snapshot you want to keep as your desktop after uninstalling FDISR must be your ACTIVE snapshot.

Of course you must be a moron when you want to get rid of FDISR.

 

Thanks to everyone who either tested this, or contacted Raxco ... even though I have absolutely no intention of uninstalling FirstDefense, unless it's to upgrade to a new version!

No need to thank me, but thanks anyway. After all I also like to know these things IN ADVANCE and not afterwards.
The fact that Raxco confirmed it, is reassuring for all of us, including me.
Having Peter as a direct contact with Raxco is certainly an advantage for me.
Calling Raxco is impossible for me and even when I was able to call, I still would have a language problem. I can write/read English, but I'm not so good in speaking and understanding it, that's too fast for me. So we all need eachother.

 

And that's what makes the world go 'round.
