Ransomware n poor protection by HIPS

Out of curosity, I tried Sandbox in EQS v 4 beta and it seems to protect against GPcoder and Arhiveus trojan and EQS sandbox seems to protect against these

 

My apologies aigle and others for completely overlooking this file intergrity checker too, but as soon as i found my old version i hunted up the author's website to share this with you all. it's name is INTEGRITY CHECKER~

Might very well be as handy if not more so than FINGERPRINT, at least this way we have two of these to conduct comparisons for better accuracy.

Some of you might already know about this app, but for those who don't, it not only does a DIRECTORY tally (any), and pls save it as NOT a text file, although you can if you wish, but close that out on finish and use the top menu SAVE AS for the .ic file. You can also integrate it into your right click menu to on-the-fly check file tally & integrity.

The best part i admire with this app is that the results ARE COLOR CODED! Green equals NO CHANGE! Red equals either CHANGED OR DELETED.

Listed as software #2, there are other apps there too, i'm going to see if any can be useful for my purposes in addition to IC!

Last little *BUMP for any members who might have missed this other Integrity Watcher (color-coded) (Reasonably Fast) (Accurate + Option For Right-Clicking Integrity Check)

Enjoy EASTER

 

Easter, thanks. Looks cool. I will add it to my tools.

Seems nice find, though i had not yet got time to try it.

 

Hi,

Sorry OT
Easter, Tiny watcher do the same. Did you stop using it ?

Well Pete, point taken, i Googled your GPCoder and see what your eluding too, so it looks like back to HIPS, SandboxIE, Returnil, Power Shadow, etc.

In fact it all comes back to square number one as always as the only sure integrity of files that could be (ZAP!!!! LIGHTNING STRIKE!!! ) compromised by virus infections, and thats our restores from imaging apps.
