VoodooShield/Cyberlock

I just installed VS and don't see the ON or Off Icon or the Sys Tray Icon.

 

I have seen it once in a while just open Task Manager and kill VoodooShield.exe not the one with service and click on the Desktop Icon to restart it or just reboot again.

Ok, so once VS no longer toggles with sandboxed web apps, it will then work flawlessly with SB, correct? If that's your def of flawless then I guess flawless it will be. VS 1.30 is still available for download and it blocks downloads and driveby's from sandboxed web apps if you would prefer to use it instead. Here is the link: http://voodooshield.com/download/versions/Install VoodooShield.1.30.exe
How will I know VS is ON when you update gadget to OFF when sandboxed.
Edit: And besides, I have to be perfectly honest... I have a lot on my plate, and to even consider worrying about petty things like the SB quote from 3 years ago is just kinda silly . Your site your product. It is what it is.

 

Thanks for the reply but i already uninstalled it. I am not sure if i need or should use it anyway. I have ZA Firewall with App Control and AppGuard that seem to work good. I might try it again soon just to see how it works.

 

Cool, I think I have the automatic parent process idea figured out and it is working really well, it is a lot like the publisher feature. I can always add a manual parent process feature, but I do not think we will need to because the automatic one does everything that the manual would do. As far as detecting http requests, VS does that with the big button on the web apps page, so I just need to build that out a little more. I will have a version for you guys to try with the new features soon. Although, I still need to figure out why the service is not starting on some computers. It will actually be easy once I get a little more info. Thank you!

 

Very cool, thank you, we are getting there!

 

Yeah, sorry about that . I did add the non-English to do item to the list though . Thank you!

 

Please select the web apps you would like VoodooShield to toggle and protect.

I see what you are saying, then to me that reads that VS would toggle the web apps .

So how about: Please select the web apps you would like to toggle VoodooShield in Smart Mode.

Thank you for your help!

 

Cool, thank you, I will add The Bat asap.

Does anyone have any other web apps they think I should add?

 

Very cool, thank you, I like it! I am curious what everyone else thinks as well! Yeah, I just now noticed the pixelated icon in the taskbar, I will scale the image properly. Thanks again!

 

Yeah, VS does not block activex's, just payloads .

 

Your pic shows very clearly that the folder is: C:\ProgramData\VoodooShield

Correct, there is no "Profile" folder... that folder is basically the All Users Profile folder.

Man, you seem grumpy, I thought we were going to be friends .

I would prefer to spend my time being productive and discussing relevant issues, and fixing the last couple of bugs. I am not going to take down a quote from our website that has been on it for 3 years just because SB and VS do not act the way YOU want them to. If however, VS 2.0 had a known conflict with SB, that would be an entirely different story.

I like to have fun working on VS and interacting with the users on here, and we have been doing so for 3 years this Sunday, and have had a great time.

Why would you even bring up the EULA on Wilders when you know that our legal team is updating it? The only reason I can think of is so you can start a negative discussion about it, along with the SB quote "issue".

So if you have something productive to say, I will be more than happy to respond. If you have a legal concern with our website or EULA, please email our lead attorney at legal@voodooshield.com. The new EULA will be ready soon, and I will post it as soon as I receive it. And I have made it extremely clear to the attorneys that we want to assure our users that we take their privacy very seriously and we do not mine data. We are trying to protect our users.

 

Sorry about that! This only happens on a few computers and I am trying to track down the problem. Is there any chance that you could PM me the file names of the files that are in C:\ProgramData\VoodooShield? And if there are any files, I might see if you could send me those as well. Thank you!

 

Thanks for the help TH, we will get to the bottom of this soon!

 

Earlier today, I thought I saw an email from someone want a VS Pro account, but I went to set up the account and I cannot seem to find the email. So if someone needs and account, please email me again - support@voodooshield.com. Thank you!

 

Thanks for this tip TH. I normally delete the shortcut to VS since it seemed it didn't do anything. But now knowing to kill VoodooShield.exe then launching from shortcut, I'll give it a shot if it happens again.

Best regards,

Hi Dan, just heads up on the testing...all running well apart from those couple of minor points I have already sent you. However, have had a couple of occurrence of the 'could not connect to service' messages on boot up. Checked to find the voodooshield service not started. Of course, the moment I started the service manually...hey presto, everything running as it should...thought you would want to know.

Will see if I can narrow down the circumstances in terms of anything happening tin the boot process that is not normal...and will post back re. what if anything I find.

Do get some rest this weekend...VS is nothing without you...

Regards, Baldrick

 

Hi Dan

You might want to add this one in

Dan, I see what you're getting at now. How about turning your sentence around to read:
To invoke VoodooShield in Smart Mode select or deselect from the following web apps, or add your own.

 

@Dan
FWIW ~ How would I know VoodooShield folder is deemed Profile.
Beta testing is gathering feedback. Beta testing is providing feedback.

FWIW ~ Perception is always subject to interpretation as is all verbal and written communication.
I feel I am offering end user observational feedback with no intent to pick a fight. It's just my two cents.

FWIW ~ I feel gadget should not be altered from your intended design. VS as all software has limits and offered "AS IS".
VS gadget is your baby. Please protect your concept from casual feedback.

FWIW ~ While writing this reply VS SysTray pop'd asking me to allow a Norton process. VS is ON while Sandboxed with compatibility for supported processes.

Respectfully submitted

 

Can someone explain to me as to why anyone wants to or needs to run antimalware programs in a sandbox? And even if they do allow it to run doesn't their sandbox stop it from doing any damage in the first place?

 

Ok so Peter , even though you are safe in your sandbox , you still want to be notified of malware trying to run? ,, Like ERP does?
I think that is something only techies would want not home user. Since I ben on this forum I have always advocated for home user usability not you Technical people. Of course I have to add I must not be a technical person as being one of the original 1000 members here right?>
And so Like Dan said he IS interested in home users and not techies.

 

That's a great perspective and I respect that. I was initially on the side of the fence, so to speak. But since I don't use sandbox software I misunderstood, personally. But I agree, I would certainly want to know if something malicious is running that shouldn't be, regardless of where. Particularly because there would still be the risk of data theft, like banking passwords and such. I respect your viewpoint and also respect how you often speak as a user as opposed to just speaking as a Mod all the time. Thank you, by the way. That actually did open up my mind a bit regarding sandboxing with regards to other security software. That makes sense too, since the majority of other security software developers do quite often work closely with Sandboxie developers to ensure proper compatibility.
