Has anyone given this beta a spin yet?

If so, how is it running for you? I am intrigued by some of the added features and like th edirection the program is going. Thanks.

Stable and working well.

Same here. Actually I just bought license. 35$ is real bargain for a lifetime license.

 

Just installed it myself and so far so good. Like this small, functional program.

Well I had the previous build 30 working fine I think (didn't test much) then I installed this version and I kept getting random NTFS.sys BSOD errors. I just thought I'd try it out, but SD hasn't been a fan of my PC configuration.

Would someone just briefly explain not for product comparison sake but in your honest opinion from your own results if this app is more preferred than say SandboxIE?

Plz feel free to offer your satisfaction of the advantages in comparison, if there are any.

I know i'm touching on somewhat different methods here to achieve the same expected results, but am still optimistically curious nonetheless.

Thanks In Advance

Simple enough and forthright answer Pete. Thanks.

As you might know i am already and been a very satisfied camper with SandboxIE combined with FD-ISR (Genuine), but was curious anyway since i know little of SD nor feel any need to add anything even remotely similiar to PS/Returnil seeing as Deep Freeze is already my chief Boot-To-Restore routine.

Still, including yourself, users/members of it seem SD is exceptionally well suited to their complete overall protection strategy.

Again Thanks.

Did you ever try the new feature that can save the changes when exit the shadow mode?

I met the similar issue when I try that feature. it said the ntdll.dll is incorrect in the black screen.

 

Actually I got the BSOD ntfs.sys error not even doing anything. It was just random and it said it was a hardware error and since I have RAID0, maybe it doesn't like my motherboard's Intel ICH5R driver. I had an incident with the previous build 30 where it messed up my partitions in my RAID0, but don't know what happened there either. I did get to install build 30 without an issue once and it ran fine, but like I said, didn't test it much. I don't have time at the moment to try this beta out again but I will later.

hi all

from the way i see it , its very stupid to run SD or other similar (returnil etc) in beta/alfa condition.

leaving your pc for the "good luck" of those beta is irresponsible

ps. this new beta act in some part wierd like reboot pc when its run out of space in its protected (shadow) drive

i top install them check for some times remove and install a final ver of one of them ( in my case is DF)

cheers

 

Yes....tried the new feature to save changes when exit the shadow mode.
Working well for me but I don't like the long time it takes as it saves the entire windows session rather than the changes made.

Other than time taken to save, there is no other problems....working well

 

You can choose not to use the beta but please refrain from calling stupid users here who volunteers to test their beta. Lucky for you, this is not the Returnil thread where betas after betas are being tried and tested. You won't be spared there for making such a comment.

Again, it's your choice to make, nobody's forcing you and likewise you should not force a "stupid" tag on those who choose to.

 

LIKEWISE.

In case it eluded you, if not for the Beta Testers there wouldn't be such STRONG innovations with the same EXCEPTIONAL improvements that you enjoy yourself demoneye.

Consider that before knocking the membership and discouraging against trying betas.

Today's BETA'S are for more safe than in years past anyway due to INCREASED KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE.

I would have voted in favor of <snipped> to such remarks.

 

yo mann aint call noone "stupid" so plz dont say what i didnt say.

i said is stupid to use beta as a prime line of defence. i said install for testing objective and when finish reinstall the final ver of any of them ( my case DF)

i also report on bugs i found in SD to owner. but never leave security beta progs on my pc and go to sleep

cheers

 

After reading this I agree with Demoneye that he wasnt calling users stupid, but the practice of using beta as your only line of defense, stupid. Which I agree and disagree with. Some betas are not a issue and some are.

 

in such protection like SD and similar the matter of time is forsook.
its not a firewall u have to leave it and check logs and resistibility etc...

with SD its a matter of playing on line and see its instant react for modifications.

cheers

 

yes pete this is 1 way to check on VM . .. i always check on the real pc or in my sec pc. always keep latest image backup just in case

 

Have anyone else somekind of memory usage problems with nvsvc32.exe? It's a process that belongs to the NVIDIA graphics card drivers. It uses almost 290MB memory ATM. Actually I can disable that service easily but I just want to inform others and ask if someone else have same kind of problems.
