    Hi Dan

    Can see and use the Edit Snapshot feature but now the Upload White List to Cloud and ability to go to the website and see the Whitelist online is no longer available? Plus I do not see a Sandbox button, and I am running Win7?

    Final, once again the system runs like a dog when .59 is active. I have reverted back to .49 and the system is back to it's snappy self.

    Apologies for reporting bad tidings...:(

    Regards, Baldrick

    In view of the bad tidings by Baldrick, I have decided to give v2.59 a miss.

    Hehehe, well, I just really want to finish VS 2.0. It is extremely close now, so I will be taking a break and sleeping soon! As soon as the cpn is fixed, I am certain it will run extremely well, and there really are not too many more features that I would like to add. VS is not meant to compete with traditional antivirus... it is meant to complement it. As a matter of fact, I am going to look through all of the features and see if there are any we should consider eliminating. For example, now that we have hash comparison, I do not think we need to include the feature that does not whitelist appdata items. If anyone can think of any other features we need to eliminate, please let me know. Simplicity really is the key, VS is just a simple computer lock.

    Hey Baldrick,

    Yeah, I put the cloud white list button back to where it was in settings. The sandbox button will only appear if the file is non detected as an installer. I will have to research this a little more, but without advanced virtualization, I do not think it is a good idea to run an installer sandboxed. But like I was saying, most viruses that I have seen have never been actual installers.

    I will go back to .49 and see what the differences there are, and see if I can figure out why it is slow on your system. Can you please describe it in a little more detail? I bet anything that it is the cpn issue, but I would like to look into it, just in case there is some code that is not just right.

    Thank you for your help!

    hehehe, you guys crack me up! Just wait until Vegas, then you will see a real zombie ;).

    BTW, I wasn't all that concerned with finishing VS, I just wanted to go to Vegas ;). Obviously I am kidding, or am I? ;).

    Sounds good, I will try to figure out why it is slow on Baldrick's system. Although I think I already know the answer.

    Hi Dan

    Thanks for clarifying the Cloud Whitelist & Sandbox button queries...appreciated.

    Regarding the slowness I can only say that it is a general, widespread issue...normal tasks like clicking on options in dropdown or context menus, closing windows, expanding windows from the taskbar...all seeming to take much longer than under .49 (and I am now running that again and the system is spritely). Not sure that is any help...other than to say that I did not run .52 and I assume that .59 is built on .52?

    Regards, Baldrick

    Hello Dan!

    All of the issues I have said to you on email are gone in this release! Hurray!

    Only two things:
    1.) Saving of settings/setting passwords take a much longer time compared to VS 1.30.
    2.) When logged in to one Windows account, logging in to another Windows Account really take some time... but now, it does log in and the VS Desktop gadget are shown on both desktops!
    3.) VS says it blocked a command line, but the notification window tells no name. It is rundll32.exe, based on the log.

    Great! almost finished!

    Thank you Baldrick and ifacedown! I believe our C++ guy has the cpn fixed, so I am just waiting for the code from him, then I will test it and post the new version. Also, we are working on a Kernel Mode Driver version, which should be ready within a couple of weeks. I am going to try to make it so the user can choose during installation whether to use the current Create Process Notify method, or use the new KMD. They are both great methods, and I think the CPN method will work better for users who also have a traditional antivirus, whereas the KMD version will probably work better for users who mainly just run VS and Windows Defender / MSE. I am just guessing, we will have to test and see what happens. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the heads up, Dan

    Sounds promising...I am looking forward to testing the cpn fix and then the KMD version vs the CPN version...just to see what the difference is...I do not run either Windows Defender or MSE...but it would be worth seeing what the diff is.

    Have a great weekend.

    Regards, Baldrick

    Does anyone want to buy a patent on a toggling desktop shield gadget / computer lock, when it is issued ;).

    Obviously I am kidding, but this has been a little more difficult that I ever thought possible. I have gone through 3-4 girlfriends in the process because I thought it would be better to work on VS than to hang out with them. Obviously I was correct ;).

    But I seriously never would have continued if you guys did not see what I see, and supported me along the way.

    I will let you guys know what is up as soon as I can!

    Thank you!

    No problem, Dan...but just send the ex-girlfriends over...you know that one is supposed to recycle these days...;)

    As we have said before...the wait has been and will be worth it...so take your time.

    @ VoodooShield

    Can you tell a bit more about the "sandbox" function? :)

    Well, it is a newer Microsoft method that basically runs the process as a low integrity process, so it runs it with limited rights. I always wondered what the LocalLow folder was in AppData, but from what I understand, that is what that folder is for. I asked one of the developers if I also needed to use isolated storage, but he was saying that was not necessary with that method. So while it is not a full sandboxing method that allows VS to run installers sandboxed (because of virtualization), I think it is a great start to a sandboxing feature, and we can always expand on the capabilities a little later. Basically, it works great for our purpose for every file except for installers, so who knows, after we test it against a lot viruses, we might find that is all we need. As I was saying, I personally have hardly ever seen a virus packaged as an installer, but I would be curious if other users have.

    Also, if you are going to test the sandboxing feature with real viruses, I highly recommend that you do it on a test system or a VM for now. I still have not had time to test it too much, although I think it will do really well.

    I just now figured out how to fix the silent blocking feature that has been a pain for everyone the last couple of months. It turned out to be a bug in the cpn, more specifically the interface. I have it working in the C++ code, but since I am not familiar at all with C++, it will take me a couple of days to translate the code to the .net interface. Then we will be good to go!!!! Thanks again!
