is this beta?or regular?

 

That's good. Give it time to iron out all the bugs. Then i'm more then ready to become a consumer statistic in it's market.

Watching this closely.

It is a brilliant classical HIPS, like EQS with groups like Comodo's D+ (only easier to implement) with a an active and dedicated developer (like OA, DW, SBIE, PrevX, DS)

Cheers Kees

 

Not beta, v1.2.3 is final.
Up and running w/ no problems here

 

only this HIPS give me hard time , its service going all of the sudden to 90-100% cpu usage ...

i did it on a clean only win installed same results....damn weird.....that happened when change to mode normal

 

Is Malware Defender as extensive in it's protection as the likes of D+ and OA?

 

all the same goal difference gui

its more like SSM look like but missing net protection yet , so its kind half useless

 

Ahhh right thanks for that.I keep meaning to get around to trying this out due to all the positive reviews.

 

OA does it all for you. So is in a different league.

D+ is a do it yourself. Malware Defender is as extensive as D+, only with some smart options of groups (D+ only has application rules per group, file protection and registry protection is applicable on all groups, MD offers this on a group basis, making it easier to fence/contain higher risk aps in a classical HIPS allow/deny environment).

 

I disagree, it has the option to protect aps from spawning/access by others. So with a simpel outbound rule of TF it passes all matousec (except recursive DNS calls) or any other simple firewall it will protect you (e.g. ZA free)

 

Interesting indeed,I'd not considered that Malware Defender was quite so advanced,definitely worth a look cheers.

 

it got no network protection mate , and all the "get along" stuff doesn't look good niter professional .

it should be buildin in future according to its builder

 

I was disagreeing on the fact that it is half useless, you are right it has no network protection. But I pass all matousec stuff with TF's outbound rule and MD (except recursive DNS call).

 

yes u can do it Np but also make your PC memo usage much more grater if it was bee build in from the first place mate

 

I was problems whit this also.I played more too.

Then added Kees's some rules (Thanks Kees)

Also added Malwaredefender.exe and mdservice.exe to Child Applications on explorer.exe (there was no)

After 10 days learning mode now it is working with no problem now.

 

mefer i look at your screen shoot , i cant understand its point



and the most disturbing issue , why MD owner doesn't fix this BUG ? or why MD doesn't put this files as it suppose to work ?

 

Have you sent Xiaolin your System Information NFO file?

Nick

 

no i didn't , been emailed him about this and he didn't success reproduce this problem again.

how can i send him my nfo info?

i did test MD on clean os , nothing install unless drivers (on VM) and it stuck also....making cpu goes out of the blue randomly to 90-100% cpu usage

i try mefer suggestion "Also added Malwaredefender.exe and services exe to Child Applications on explorer.exe (there was no)"

lets see what the hell is going on with this software

 

Go Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information. Then go File > Save.

If your system can handle the extra load, you could try running Sysinternals' Process Monitor for a short interval while MD's CPU usage is high.

Nick

 

10x a lot for the info , i don't much like the idea to expose my pc info coz of MD

anyway i did try mefer idea , adding MD to child appz , it doesn't help , MD keep stuck my pc randomly

 

I did not expect it to work. I run MD on four systems (Vista and XP) and MD's processes are not listed as child apps of explorer.exe. I would give Process Monitor a try.

Nick

 

Demoneye,

Sorry,may i ask how many days did you stay MD in learning mode.
And when in learning mode all protection enable or not?

 

i d'not know is there any objection but i am trying to stabile with my system.coz my system was a lot of freeze.

 

i don't understand what is matter the time pc was in "learn mode" and MD stuck ??
if new process is on the run , i can add him easy to "trusted application"... so learn mode time isnt a factor in this issue

the time is about 2-3 days , till i made in purpose all action , so MD learn fast
