No screenshots possible (region/window/freehand/full screen/...) I think it's effective in protecting the screen. At first the memory usage was 30-40MB but it grows up to more than 140MB (within a short time)
Interesting, perhaps he can combine it with GhostPress, to make it an "all in one" portable anti-logger.
ScreenWings v2.6 Released (July 1, 2019) Website Spoiler: Changelog v2.4-v2.6 https://schiffer.tech/software/screenwings/changelog.txt 2.6 #Autstart GUI did not show up fixed #Ghost mode does not require an .ini file #Decreased executable size 2.5 #Autostart now shows the GUI if not minimized in the previous session #Improved exception handling #Minor UI updates 2.4 #Windows 10 close crash fixed #Rare taskbar protection bug fixed
Saw the 2.8 update and was considering using this for just my internet facing apps after looking at the small help.pdf where it says Needless to say I was skeptical so I created two standard users to test from. One to run ScreenWings and another to run the screenshot tests from. So I used runas to start up screenwings under the first standard user, activated it and minimized to the tray. Used runas again and started up the test program(s) under the second standard user. They all were able to grab screenshots as I had expected. Redid the test via switch user with same results. I did find that it was functional if both programs were running under the same user or if ScreenWings was run as admin. Short recap: Sure you can RUN it on a public/untrusted computer but its not going to actually do anything except block programs running under the same account as you are (which might be good if a previous user left something running under the same account) so it has limited helpfulness this way as it obviously won't stop anything the provider has pre-installed running in the background from capturing them either. After that I was still considering adding it to my system and simply running an instance for each internet facing app (which already runs under it's own user account) using the -ghost command to hide the tray icon & interface but that doesn't even work and instead I get an informational alert In addition it seems the program is designed to only allow one instance, which means I'd have to end up running it as admin so it works for all standard users, even if the -ghost mode worked but I only wanted to use it for specific internet facing software as a just-in-case. All in all it's not a bad offering (it is free after all) for most users and while it came close it's not going to work in my setup as I had hoped it might. =(
2.9 +Hidden feature adapt UI to Windows UI; AdaptDesign=1 #Improved memory manipulation guard #Fixed possible false positive detections @syrinx ScreenWings protects against the most likely scenario: The main risk is that another third party runs spyware in the background after secretly running it on the same user account. If you worry about the Administrator watching you or the public computer grants Administrator privileges, you should not use the computer at all. Beside of addition risks e.g. exploits, hardware screen grabbers, ... ScreenWings still covers the most likely risk. Anyway, we never recommend using a public computer for private or personal purposes at all. More protection layers will be published in v 3.*. If you are using it on your computer simply use the -autostart parameter instead of the -ghost parameter.
