VoodooShield/Cyberlock

Interestingly enough Cyberlock can block most attacks straight out of the box, and you can tailor the auto responses by mode & security posture options, so the 'too many options' do not need to touch if one does not want or need to. But as you say...which one uses is a matter of taste.

 

Oui!

Yeah i know what you mean about CyberLock...for fun i started to test some security combos with PC Mark 10 free version, to see how different security combos affects overall system performance. While testing Windows Defender+DefenderUI+CyberLock combo, i had a lot of CL popups during the test and crashed PC Mark 10(because of CL asking allow or not or doing whitelistcloud check).
But in terms of system performance while maintaining high level security and according to PC Mark and my personal experience, at the moment, WD+DefendUI+Cyberlock combo is blazingly fast.
It's crazy how the system is so frigging responsive, i was like wtf, did i just get extra cpu cores or what happened...after using Sophos Home.
According to PC Mark results, Sophos Home was average 15-20 % slower, which is a lot. Whole system was like in forced slow motion mode(soap opera effect in some TVs). However, i did additional test with Sophos Home. Disabling Exploit protection (aka HitmanPro.Alert), PC Mark results were a lot better and the system was more responsive.
About three weeks ago, i downloaded trial version of Sophos Home. I noticed that it installs very old (2022) version of its exploit protection(aka HMPA), of course i reported it. It took two weeks at Sophos to "upgrade" their Sophos Home installer with the latest version of HMPA(cryptoguard). Sigh.

 

No option to disallow popup. I don't use Skype!!!!

I guess I'm simply not into whitelisting anymore, that's why I also dumped EXE Radar. OSArmor isn't a whitelisting tool, but it will still easily block exploits and malware that abuse system processes like PowerShell. But yeah, it's a matter of taste.

 

Yes, I'm not into those annoying popups, I assume they are related to whitelisting. I just don't like the concept of CyberLock. Also, I never had any slowdown problems with HMPA's exploit protection enabled, but then again, I didn't test it for that long. I believe HMPA's exploit protection might be a bit too aggressive, while you can achieve about the same with CyberLock and/or OSArmor, they simply block processes launched by exploited tools like the browser.

 

Showing how to use Windows Sandbox on Windows 10 Pro for Workstations using Cyberlock scan.

 

@Triple Helix

I have always run software live all these years, and have survived, i.e. systems have. So, I think I will just keep doing it that way.

 

You do whatever you like I was just showing you how to do it if you want in Windows Sandbox using Cyberlock.

 

I appreciate your guide.

 

@Triple Helix

I have Webroot installed on one laptop, as you are aware, but it runs like molasses on it.

But, as you have shown me with your guide, I will give it ago and install Webroot on this laptop and see how it goes. However, it is after midnight here, so I am going to bed, now.

 

@Triple Helix

I got Webroot running sandboxed. So, to exit I just close the window?

Then if I want to run it again, I just start a new Windows Sandbox?

 

Correct using the Cyberlock scan and run in a Sandbox like I posted above!

 

It has gone.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Thanks @Triple Helix for the Sandbox tip.
