Thanks for the response joey! I will soon be looking for good encryption software, so maybe I will check Dekart out.

 

dja2k does OA 3.5.0.36 work with Windows 7?

Thanks.

 

That sounds pretty damn cool. I'll remember that possibility and saw your method mentioned in another thread.

What are the "appropriate start/run/internet restrictions"?

 

Windows XP:
See sig


Windows 7:
Vista Firewall Control
GeSWall (free)

 

ur choice for software to test is pretty limited if ur using a Linux VM. other than online banking its not really the best OS for software testing due to incompatibility...

 

We're working on it.

If the less popular OS:s supported all games, I would probably not be a part of this forum at all.

 

We're working on it, but we have it partially functional on Windows 7 32-Bit.

Thanks for the information

 

yes i know what a VM/sandbox does...

Will give that a go as my sole realtime protection when it does.

I intend to test Mamutu (replaces Avira, eventually) and run my system in a LUA-sort of environment (will first test suDown to see how I like it, replacing DW).

 

Wanting to test something on my own image

Therefore wife's image now runs
- Mamuto (gizmo freebie, with Iron explicitely guarded)
- MBR Guard
- AppGuard (same applications also under LUA with XP Pro, except Iron)
+ drive by protection
+ Iron excluded from D:\ (my documents) the privacy option

 

NOD32 v4
Prevx 3
Windows Firewall

 

Looks good !

Just about the virtualbox . Did you need your original windows cd to create a virtual PC use that ? I'm still learning this stuff and trying to find something that doesn't need that. can't find mine.
