    Maybe I'm missing something here, but if you have the Master Password option enabled, doesn't it seem like disabling it or changing the password should also be password protected/confirmed?

    Does ERP still rely on the Task Manager to start with Windows?

    Thanks

    Same here. Reactivation has not worked for me since version 2.

    Still on version 1.3.6.5.

    @chris1341

    ERP has been updated to use a service.

    @Blackcat @KelvinW4

    A quick workaround to fix the reactivation issues with the actual system:

    1) Make sure a firewall is not blocking EXERadar.exe
    2) Restart the modem/router
    3) Open temp folder and see if there is a file named erp_activation_error.log
    4) Contact us at support(at)novirusthanks(dot)org and tell us the activation code, we will see if it needs to be unlocked

    Everything is looking great, you're doing an excellent job. May I suggest something though?

    I know it's not an easy task to code/transition to 64-bit, but why exclude 64-bit compatibility in the free version?

    It's not really taking away a feature, but taking away an environment capability. In my opinion, it would be a better move on your part to offer 64-bit compatibility in the free version as well. Judging by what I see in your comparison chart, you already have plenty of other features/options that justify buying a license...why take away 64-bit? In my opinion, that is enough to drive existing customers to other options.

    I've seen this happen with other products, I just don't want it happening to you. It's up to you if you want to make that move, since you are the developer and all.

    You don't have to take the advice I give, it's your choice.

    Just my opinion

    Maybe thats their way of urging free users to want the pro one.

    I can see that being his way of thinking, as most would. But, I've seen and heard many complain and move on about products that do this sort of thing.

    The trial should be their way to urge customers to buy a pro version, not the free version. In some cases, the customers that use the free version want to stay free. Those interested in buying a license will more than likely download a fully functional trial.

    Is there a way to export-import settings in the free version,or it's a paid version privilege?

    How is this different from free HIPS offered by Online Armor, Private FW or Comodo?

    It is not a HIPS, it is an anti-executable.

    but HIPS already is anti-executable by default. so this is a just a program that offers less features than HIPS?

    An anti-executable simply prompts what "unknown" software or exe etc. wants to run and gives you the option to allow or block. So indeed, it is for those who do not want much popups, but still have a fair level of protection since you know, malware cannot perform tasks without being executed first right?

    Yeah no problem. Once you make all the rules, and set it up to lockdown, it would be pretty powerful :thumb:

    I have Online Armor in my PCs.

    In that case i need or i don't need this (or other) Antiexecutable?

    I'm using it in one PC and i like it but i have some licences of OA and next month i will format that PC and install it W7 and OA too.

    So i wondering if i need an antiexecutable in that PC.

    Thanks.

    Not really, a HIPS will do the same thing an anti-executable does, but HIPS will ask a lot more and cover a larger range. But you can always buy a license to support them ;)

    But once you allow an exe if it's a virus there is not much more that NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro can do, right?

    is there a portable version of the the Pro version?

    Yeah there is nothing much you can do after that. Just hope your AV catches it :cool: Currently there is no portable version.
