Let's Talk About System Safety Monitor:):)

Thanks. I forgot about that change.

 

Thanks noone_particular for sending the key.I had no choice but to put forth the email address because of the nature of PM for newer members.
Anyway the license is for which version:
1).SSM-2.4.0.621.exe or
2).SSM-2.4.0.622-beta.exe

I have downloaded the beta.But it is not a signed version. Is it safe to install it. Will this key work on SSM-2.4.0.621. Which is more stable SSM-2.4.0.621 or SSM-2.4.0.622-beta.

Thanks chinook9 I was not aware of that.Is there any way to remove my posted email-ID/post to avoid junk mails.

 

I will be thankful if you either remove my email-ID or the post containing it.

 

The license will work on all 2.4 versions. The primary difference between 621 and 622 is the beginning of Vista support, which is the reason for the "beta" status. On XP and older systems, they're stable. I've used both and have had 622 installed on my 2K box since its release.
If it helps, here's the MD5 for 2.4.0.622.

I have installed SSM on my Windows XP Pro desktop and is working just fine. It is now my one of the most liked programs.

Unfortunately its development is stopped. But I can bet that if its development continued it could be the most powerful HIPS program

At present I also use Comodo Internet Security(CIS 4) on my another PC having Windows XP Pro OS. Its Defense+ is also very strong HIPS program. CIS is now available with Sandbox technology. But I don't use Sandbox. I know this thread is for System Safety Monitor but I want some answers/suggestions. I would be really thankful for your precious suggestions.

1). Can I install another HIPS program after disabling my previous existing HIPS program ? (for example disabling CIS 4 Defense+ and installing SSM and vice versa)

Can they co-exist stably(without modifying other) in a PC with one enabled (and another disabled) at one time ? I am asking this in context of two strong HIPS programs.

2). Can I install WinPatrol PLUS alongside SSM ?

3). Can I install WinPatrol PLUS alongside Comodo Internet Security (CIS 4) ?

I think since WinPatrol PLUS is a light HIPS program so it can be used alongside a strong HIPS program. But I want your opinion about it.

Actually I want to use WinPatrol PLUS alongside CIS because of the features which are not in CIS.

Thanks.

 

1: I never would advise it. The HIPSs install in a very low level in the system, in the kernel, ecc..., and in many ways: it is not always possible to disable completely an HIPS and, also if it is disabled, it inhabits again the system. This can limit or block the second HIPS, or make a conflict.

2 and 3: I believe yes, but I don't see the benefit: WinPatrol isn't an HIPS, and his light functions are much better assured by an HIPS.

If you want to enhance your security, get another different layer, like a virtualising or sandboxing program.

 

Using two HIPS won't give you more protection. On the downside you make your system vulnerable because of possible conflicts. Am I right?

 

Nobody knows what the outcome will be. That's the issue. The potential for conflict, both seen and unseen, is arguably high. In practice, some HIPS may work ok together, but you can never really know whether they are or aren't. So avoid it where possible.

 

yes it is posible to disable but first disable the hips from the tray icon all protection posible then disable the service and start up program(gui) using msconfig tool reboot and then install what ever you want,i have done this with no problem.

yes you can run winpatrol alond side with any hips or any programs with out any isues

note:yes some times you can have to hips for example i run MD and Pe Guard but the heck with alot of pop ups they both made drunk after seeing all pop ups infront of my face

note:some hips may cause alot of harm to your system even worse than a virus,so if you do want to try be cautious at your own risk

 

very nicely said..

 

the best way to learn is try or before frying listen to others

 

Hello Ujjwala,

To answer #2 - I'm running SSM alongside WP+ on a XP SP3 system without any problems. And I agree that it was and still is one of the best - wish the development could have continued, miss it on Win7.

To answer your other questions, you should post a new thread asking about CIS and what actually happens when disabling Defense +

This thread probably won't attract enough CIS users since SSM is not widely used.

 

When more than one security app uses kernel level components, there's always the possibility for a conflict. A combination might work on one system and crash the next. There's no way to know for sure without trying them. Just make a system backup first. If more than one such app is used and one of them auto-updates, it's entirely possible for an update to cause a conflict in apps that got along earlier. When AntiVir first added their rootkit module to their AV, it worked with SSM just fine. That week they updated it. The day after, I had 3 PCs that needed to have that rootkit module removed. There's no way to know if or when it might happen.

 

i need ssm key plz....
