thanks alot xiolin

 

Sweet!
1, I like the log entry colors for distinguishing between file, reg, process and network.
2, The command line was definitely needed also.
3, Not too sure what this means yet - 'Added support for selecting a group as rule object in Alert dialog'.

Overall very nice, keep em coming!

 

This just keeps getting better

I also have the same question as tony62 I can't figure it out.

 

Malware Defender 2.1.0 beta installed and running fine here.
Great work xiaolin.

 

Sorry for my English.

If you click the "..." button to modify the rule object, you can select a group as rule object now.

 

cant try the software.....
cos i have installed and uninstalled previous version 1.2.X several months back.

 

Thanks for the update, xiaolin.

It's getting better everytime but...

There's 3 things i fail to understand with v2.1.0 beta:

- In the "Edit File Rule" window, modifying the write permission will change the create and delete permission
- The priority mechanism: rules must be made in reverse order (first rule or group of rules in last position, etc.)
- In global registry rules, there's no separate create and delete permissions (only "write" which strangely include create and delete)

 

anyone can help me?

 

No problems with your English at all.

Yep, I've figured it out now.

Thanks xiaolin.

 

This is annoying when building network rules through the Alert dialog. I have mentioned this to xiaolin here

 

This design will make it easier to change write, create and delete permission together. But you can change create and delete permission to different setting.

Normally, create and delete permission should be the same as
write permission.

I think it's not necessary to distinguish write/create/delete actions of registry.

Thanks,
Xiaolin

 

You need to try the software on another Windows system.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Hi xiaolin,

can you please see post #31 in this thread. This keylogger seems to have its way even though low-level keyboard access is denied by MD. Can anyone else conform my findings?

 

MD can pass the first test only. There is no protection for screen/clipboard capturing yet.

 

Thank you for the confirmation xiaolin! This does not, btw, cause me to lose faith in this terrific program

 

I see, so is this maybe planned to be added in another release?

 

there are several versions till date.
how u guys have been trialing till now?

all of you bought the license?

i have tried it once before the network thingy is introduced.....

 

Paid version here.
Trial is time limited.

 

i see.

how is it? one of the better HIPS around ....
Thought of purchasing....

 

i think that MD is one of the best hips

 

yes indeed pound per pound

 

I had an older version installed also but Still have three days left on this new beta. It is a nice program.

What I would like to know & you all have heard me mention this several times before. At what point did beta software become more then that? The general rule before was until it was a released product it remained free to test. Even Microsoft now allows the public to test is OS's for free until they are released. Although back then they didn't have public beta's per say. Only a few were chosen and when the product went live, the "beta Testers" would get a free copy for all their work.
