VoodooShield

[ichito]

Here is 3.56 beta!

There was only one beta tester that was still having issues with the new lock down self-protection method, but him and I worked on it together in the background, and I think it is working 100%.

Assuming that it is working 100% for everyone, it only took 11 days to implement, so that wasn’t so bad now, was it? The really cool thing is that we now have a total lock down mode, that only allows processes that are absolutely vital to properly close your apps and shutdown / restart Windows… which I am sure there are other uses for. BTW, for now, the program files folders are also allowed… we can play with this later… long story.

If by chance your computer is acting funny, especially on reboot / logging off / switching user, etc., please send me your DeveloperServiceLog.log and it will be an easy fix.

Either way, if you are running a mission critical machine, I would skip this version for at least a few days, until we know how well it is running for everyone.

Also, Kees requested that we add a feature that automatically allows a new item, if the digital signature is in VS’s tiny, customized whitelist. We could never get away with doing this if the entire drive was whitelisted, but since VS has a tiny, customized whitelist, it should be perfectly safe. And Kees was correct… as far as I can tell, this adds a whole new level of usability to VS, from what I have seen the last day or so that I have been using this feature… Thank you Kees for the suggestion. You can find the new (updated) setting in Settings / Basic… it is called “Automatically allow items that match a digital signature in the whitelist snapshot”. That description will work, but if you guys can think of a better way to describe this feature, please let me know and I will change it.

Also, there was a small bug in the blacklist scan, which is now fixed. Basically, if the file that is being analyzed was already part of the VoodooAi cloud database, there was a bug, and VS would think that it was an unknown file. So if you guys have seen a lot of “Unknown Files” for the blacklist scan, it is fixed now.
