The unofficial Shadow Defender Support Thread.

I find this product to be a great compliment to Sandboxie for reasons mentioned above. And since my setup is very static (I've downloaded everything I could ever want by now), using shadow mode is plenty practical for me. About the only time files are ever added/modified on my box are when I update everything once a month.

Wish I had found this years ago, but better late than never.

 

Hi,

I wonder if SD is as strong as it used to be? After all it's not supported for sometime now. And it's kind of old. Any malware could bypass it easily?

 

Hi Amit,

Thus far, I haven't seen any evidence proving SD can be bypassed.

Unless you have any [some] proof of bypass and name the type, I do no see why or how you can say that?

got it man! thank you.

 

Indeed, Shadow Defender has a good concept against malware, so it would be difficult to be bypassed, even though undeveloped.

 

SD is bulletproof.Read and learn before making statements like this please.

 

Shadow Defender 1.0.0.311 32bit have problem with USB on WIN 8. When I plugged USBs, my computer couldn't recognize them. After uninstalling SD, they can work normal again! @@

 

The same with me! WIN 8 32 bit

 

Ah thanks a lot. I've added it to my setup.

 

I am not claiming the SD can be bypassed or something like that. I was simply trying to learn from you guys if it could be since it was not supported for this long. But I'm assured from posts here.

 

I'm learning. I had just stated my confusions and worries.

 

We are all learning.

I had the same fears as you when I first used SD. It has never let me down. It even works on SSDs if TRIM is turned off.

 

Hi Amit

Misunderstanding on my part.

SD is like a few programs that have no development [or little that is know of] any more, but are still among the best of their type.

i.e. [IMO] L'n'S.

I'm now using SD. Nice to hear you had the same confusions and worries. I'm more confident with SD after reading your post.

 

Ah thanks for the assurance. I am loving SD. I definitely feel safe.

So is L'n'S not supported?

 

Hi Amit

Glad to be of some help to strengthening your feeling of being safe. [But safe you are in Shadow Mode]

To save any more misunderstanding , That is not what I am saying [wrote].

Okay got it now.

 

SD 1.2.0.346 is now available for download!

Reported changes:
Added. Use RAM as write cache.
Fixed. USB related issues.

TS

 

Nice man that's interesting...I would really like to know wether it can be used on a Windows 8 machine coupled with SSD...

Ram write Cache Looks nice.

 

Great.

 

already did a quick test in vmware. slightly changed Interface. Option to write into Memory works according to the Interface. I set Memory write Cache to 2GB and it wrote everything into Memory.

I guess I will do another test with Windows 8 Enterprise Trial in vmware to see how it does.

 

Does that (SD) work in vmware? What about Oracle's VirtualBox? How can testing SD under vmware really tell you anything? I'm really curious what you find out. Keep us posted.

 

TS,

Thank you for spotting this! I have two questions (for anyone who may know)...

1. What are the advantages of SD using RAM as write cache?
2. Does this new release support SSDs?

Thanks Shadow
I've downloaded it and tried it, seems pretty much like the Shadow Defender we all know with the addition of the ram write cache and a slightly different look.
I'd be interested to know what the ram write cache does and how it is used.
Well done Tony.

best wishes

ps Just written to Tony to congratulate and ask about the new addition. I've not had a reply to my last ten emails and think either my mail is being blocked or I'm "Persona non grata" for some reason unknown to me.
