GreenBorder now supports Firefox, Kaspersky, Panda

• Ability to have cookies, browser cache, or browser history erased every time you Clean and Reset GreenBorder or Log Off. Use Set GreenBorder Options… from the tray menu to configure this.

Compatibility
• Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 (However Web Antivirus does not run inside GreenBorder)

sounds awsome. is it usable with my setup?

 

I meant to respond to people who had asked when Firefox and Kaspersky would be supported: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=137913

I think I may have announced this in the wrong place based on the moderator feedback I've received. In the future updates will be posted here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34

 

Hmm, let's see...

Yes - Adaware SE
Yes - Spybot S&D 1.4
Yes - Spyware Blaster 3.5.1
Nope - Prevx
Not Tested - Spyware Terminator real time shield enabled no HIPS
Not Tested - Superantispyware
Not Tested - ewido
Yes - Mcafee persional security suite
Yes - Mcafee firewall set to tight security
Yes - Mcafee Site Advisor

The number of software packages to test is never ending. I guess we can't win them all. The GreenBorder installer should halt the install on your PC.

 

oh well i'll stick with what i have

 

Sorry to dig out older threads but I thougth this was the appropriate place. I installed the GreenBorder demo. And since then my system runs insanely slow. It takes a REALLY long time to boot. Firefox takes ages to start and CPU usage rocks up to 100% percent. Only other security program I use is Kasperks Internet Security. Even got KIS compabiblity mode on. Im really considering buying GreenBorder, but the thing thats stopping me is the PC slowdown I experience.

Anyone knows what I could do?

 

wir.sing,

If your running Windows XP, try defragmenting your drives (the Disk Defragmenter bundled in works well for basic uses). Improves performance and efficency well. Also, maybe get something like CCleaner where it removes old files that don't do anything anymore (like you uninstall something but there is still some remnant files from it).

(On the side note, whats GreenBorder ... ? Just curious since I know nothing about it.)

 

My Computer runs smooth without GreenBorder ^^

Its GreenBorder causing something here. Might be some sort of program conflict.
Did some more testing and they seem to support that guess. Installed KIS by itself. All runs smooth. Installed GreenBorder by itself. A small smalldown. But guess you gotta expect that, since its virtualising quite a lot. Installed KIS and GreenBorder. HUGE slowdown. Programs can become unuseable. Intresting thing I noticed is that if you install GB before KIS instead of the other way round the slowdown is abit smaller. But still a HUGE slowdown

And GreenBorder is a Sandboxingtool like BufferZone. If you want to try it out download the demo on their Homepage.

 

The latest build of GreenBorder, v2.9.2 build 9716 (available on CNet's download.com) now supports Previx. So now the list is:

Yes - Adaware SE
Yes - Spybot S&D 1.4
Yes - Spyware Blaster 3.5.1
Yes - Prevx
Not Tested - Spyware Terminator real time shield enabled no HIPS
Not Tested - Superantispyware
Not Tested - ewido
Yes - Mcafee persional security suite
Yes - Mcafee firewall set to tight security
Yes - Mcafee Site Advisor

Wir.Sing, feel free to contact support at support@greenborder.com, you're eligible during the trial period. Also see http://www.greenborder.com/support

Also you are correct, GreenBorder doesn't slow the computer, the instances we do see slowdowns are with software conflicts.

 

Someone once asked why Greenborder was less popular here compared to various competitors like BZ, sandboxie etc.

I think the reason is that for a long long time, it worked only with IE (lots of people here use something else as their main browser) .

Also there was the perception that Greenborder was very sensitive and conflicted with many security programs because it couldn't run with many popular antivirus.

In fact, the idea I got (which I suspect was not uncommon) was that unless Green border says otherwise, you can expect a conflict. This might be unfair to Greenborder, since you always take a risk when you mix and match (particularly niche HIPS products) .................. and Sandboxie seems to cause problems on some systems as well.....

Of course this is a bad image to have on a forum where people run multiple security programs not all of which is main stream.

 

well I felt free to contact your support on a couple of other questions (not the slowdown issue in combination with KIS. At least it runs. with BufferZone and KIS I just get a BSOD. But yea wouldn mind seeing that slowdown aka the compability problems removed and then I would become a willing customer). Send the support ticket 3 days ago. Still waiting for a reply

 

LOL. Thank you for choosing GreenBorder.
