VoodooShield/Cyberlock

No, I am not joking at all!

 

Yeah, I realize that the users on here are from all parts of the world. But it will be fine, we will figure it out!

 

Thank you, I will look at this issue asap!

 

Yeah, good point. I guess the offer should be anyone who posts on this thread, and has helped in some way with developing VS!

 

How funny .

 

Cool, thank you for letting me know, I will check into these issues!

 

Sure, thank you Kardo!

 

I am not sure what is going on with the log issue, that is odd, I will have to look into that. By the pop up disappearing too quickly, are you talking about the balloon or the user prompt? Thank you for letting me know on these other issues, I will look into it!

 

Thank you for letting me know!

 

Thank you for letting me know. I will look into these issues asap!

 

Are you running the latest version? I would uninstall VS, reboot, and download the latest version, it really should work. I will start using version numbers on the next release. Thank you!

 

Thank you, I really appreciate your guy's help! I will look into these issues asap. I am not sure about the VT uploader, we can look into it. VS does not use the VT uploader anymore, we use an API to upload the hash of the file. That is why the scan is so quick... it is almost too quick, so we have to figure out what to do about that, so that it does not just flash and disappear. Thanks again!

 

Sounds great, thank you for letting me know! Yeah, we could have an Allow button when a threat is detected, but we were just thinking that it might be safer to not have one. Then if a user does want to run something with a known threat, they could just click on VS to turn it OFF temporarily. Yeah, the VoodooShield service will run whether VS is running or not. The problem is that GUI's are not supposed to start services, and since the VoodooShield service is so small, we just let it run all of the time. We can actually make the GUI start and stop the service when the GUI starts, but it does not work for Windows 8 or 8.1, so we just let it run all the time. Thanks again!

 

Dan - Checked and Registry entries and dll's are there. No file folders. It was just one incident, clicking again explorer.exe ran and opened file folder.

 

Registry entries exist and dll's are in appropriate place.

Cheers,

because you use Webroot SA , it has a kind of "Pagefile bug" that increase the RAM usage of explorer.exe and some other softs. remove WSA and you will see VS ram usage lowering.

 

V2 logs almost everything. Is there some way to limit what VS is logging?

 

cpn32.dll, and cpn64.dll are accounted for in the registry, and the system folders.

I'm not able to run registry editor with VS protection enabled. VS will not allow the registry edit command (regedit) to start Registry Editor. VS prompts me to block, install, or allow. VS blocks the registry editor command no matter how many times I click allow. I'm using Windows 7X64 Ultimate.

 

Confirm same here, I need to disable protection to run Regedit. Forgot to mention that earlier.

Also, tray icon works but can't open VS from Windows desktop icon.

 

It's good to see i'm not the only one. It should be easier to fix then.

 

On my Mini-laptop, Win8.1 upd 1 x64, real system, 2gb RAM

i have them

I don't have them so i assume i'm good ^^

observations summary:

1- installed and rebooted , VS crashes on startup, restarted again, all went fine.

2- set VS to "Always On":

a- launched some safe exe , balloon appears, did nothing , exe was allowed to tun , is it normal?
b- launched some Win8 tool (regedit, etc..) and safe exe, balloon appears, clicked it , VS run the scan (popup appears) , tried to select an option ("allow", etc...), scan popup seems frozen and stay on-top (cant click any of the choices), after some repeated clicks on it, VS shield turned red, scan popup still there. note: balloon repeatedly notify that VS seems to block multiple time the same exe.
to fix it , i have to restart VoodooShield.exe process in Process Hacker; then VS shield turned blue as expected. Maybe due to my slow system. (2gb Ram)
c- launched a .bat file , files is allowed to run without any notification.
d- launched an exe (safe beta but unknown yet software file ), balloon appears, clicked on it, scan popup flagged it as malware (as expected), ask me to block or quarantine the exe (no allow choice), clicked quarantine, file still in its location, normal? (unless i misunderstood VS' quarantine function)

3- User Log screen empty

Impressions:

i am a new user of VS (but i read about it) so it is a total discovery for me; from what i feel it seems to be a very effective apps with lot of potential. Keep the good works on.

that is all for the moment, i will proceed some more tests.

Thanks.

edit:

- redone situation 2a, issue did not repeat but mouse circling over the window where the exe belong; restarted voodooshield.exe; all exe even those blocked previously were allowed to run.
it seems that restarting VS process undo all previous actions.

- redone situation 2d; if i click nothing (simulating i am afk), then few seconds after observation 2a occurs; then situation 2d appears; weird.

 

Sounds great, thank you!

 

Sounds great, thank you. So is VS blocking exe's correctly for you?

 

Interesting, thank you for letting us know!

 

Yeah, we will definitely fix that in the next version!
