    The issue you are seeing with the "shielded apps" counter is known:
    http://www.zerovulnerabilitylabs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22

    Only Acrobat/Reader and Foxit are supported PDF readers.

    No support for browser outside of the ones mentioned in the "Shields" tab of the GUI.

    Yes the right-click behaviour minimizes the GUI to traybar, it's by design.

    Thanks for testing! ;)

    1) Will this conflict with my current AV by any chance? (BullGuard Internet Security 2013)

    2) I am not to keen on installing a BETA 0.7 :(

    I wouldn't install it unless I were planning on Beta testing it, although it does look promising!

    I see that the free version (browser edition) is protected mostly java, pdf and flash player.
    IF the program protects against exploits java script in some way?

    can the developer verify if ES protects the beta version of java that is Java 8 build 59 available in openjdk.java.net

    Is it safe to use beta version of java?

    Yeah I like to keep my job. :)

    Besides I don't want to give out an exact example so it won't be copied and used for spearphising e-mails.

    Has anyone tested Kaspersky Anitvirus 2013 which comes with a similar feature call Automatic Exploit Prevention, can someone do test and tell how does it compare with exploitshield?

    i tried ExplotShield for several weeks, but decided to uninstall it because it was interfering with my legitimate internet use.

    here's one example: i tried to sign in to a university site using my online banking creditials for ID (a common practice in my country). ExploitShield stopped the Java dll launch that handles the bank sign-in and "protected" me from verifying my identity for this legitimate service (until I killed it).

    fwiw, i'm in Europe. maybe ExploitShield is better suited for US customers.

    The vendor might have been able to help you sort that out. Another option would have been to just turn off ExploitShield (ES) when visiting that site until the problem is fixed (perhaps in the next beta).

    Hi

    Is a conflict SpyShelter Premium 6.5 with Exploit Shield beta of 0.7. When the programs together, ,,cooperate'' I can not run a web browser. The function, AntiNetworkSpy'' in SpyShelter block hooks in browser. After turning off ExploitShield operating normally.

    So, this thing looks pretty nice. I will definitely be keeping a watch on development here.

    Question re: the Chrome exploits listed on your site as having been stopped by ES. Are these exploits actually considered to have "Pwned" Chrome's sandbox, i.e. written to disk or been able to access more than their intended low privilege aka "toothless" form? The reason I ask is, while the protection of other applications (eg media player, doc readers) offered by ES sounds really useful to me, I was not under the impression that Chrome suffered from nearly this number of exploits. I was under the impression that the number could perhaps be counted on one hand (before this year, there were NO exploits AFAIK, and the bundled Flash was finally Pwned this year).

    (NB: ignore Chrome Java exploits, which are not protected by the Chrome sandbox, and I wouldn't touch Java with a 10 ft pole anyway :D).

    Doesn't block execution through tcpip.sys overflow and flash and java ROP..

    Another security product by security professionals..

    Obviously a false positive by SpyShelter. They should allow ExploitShield to inject.


    For those vulns to which we don't have access to it's hard to tell anything from the Google Chrome vulnerability descriptions. Unlike the rest of companies Google is very shady in their vuln descriptions.

    It's not supposed to block execution through tcpip.sys. As it name implies ExploitShield Browser Edition blocks execution through browser and browser components. Regarding the flash and java ROP can you post some example(s)?

    For those of you on the fence about ExploitShield, I am running it on my five Win7 x64 systems and it has not caused any problems with the functioning of these systems. I will probably be purchasing a copy of this software once it is released.

    So will there be a lifetime license for home users for the corporate version? (I imagine the corporate version will be subscription based for enterprise use).

    I am not sure if it is required or not but ES is not using ASLR in Windows 8 RTM Enterprise 64 bit.

    Try running Process Explorer with elevated admin priviledge to see if you get the same thing.
