Okay, here are my wishes


1. An installer recognition with warning

2. An option to allow a specific application to the secured files, for instance
a) WindowsMediaPlayer is an untrusted program, but I would allow it to access the folder "Paid music downloads"
b) Outlook express is an untrusted program, but I would allow it to access the folder 'My mail" and the file "Addressbook" with all my e-mail contacts

3. The text Go banking/shopping, also in the main window (below the close all trusted processes)

4. An untrusted files search/list (sort of file manager)

5. A trusted sofware vendors list, adding software by scanning a signed process or a reading a executable in a specific directory

99999. A build in WMP just to let you know one of the strongest HIPS is on air, (because it is so quiet on pop-ups)

1. An installer recognition with warning

I second Kees first suggestion and would like to see not only a warning but also the possibility to switch off untrusted mode inside that message dialog for the file being installed.

Ilya,

Is it an idea use this tread as a sticky?


Members, thanks for the endorsement

[Ilya Rabinovich]

I have not enough rights to do that. Admins, what do you think?

[Kees1958]

Some of my family members are not that sophisticated when it concerns PC security. To lower the threshold, I would like a quick access link with the DefenseWall Go shopping/go banking. So may be DW should accept a commend line (go shopping + preferred browser) or even usier friendlier, DefenseWall could also generate a link and ask where to store this (or put on the desktop). I would fancy a IE, FF, Opera Icon with the okay circle of DW on it.

I'd like to see some sort of visual indication on a file's icon (e.g. the icons on the desktop) as to which are untrusted, along with a right-click menu option to "Add to trusted", rather than just having the "Run as Trusted" option

I'm not sure this is warranted. If an application is listed as untrusted then quite obviously it is untrusted. If it not listed as untrusted then it is trusted; there is no trust list, only an untrust list. Is that your suggestion, that there should be a trusted list?

[n8chavez]

I would very much like for DW to treat applications and/or folders that are on the 'secured' list to be secured from not only processes that are marked as untrusted but those that are not as well. This would prevent process termination even if the terminating process was not caught by DW. Of course I'm thinking more a long the lines of putting your AB and firewall here.

No, that's not what I'm saying. If you download a bunch of .exe's to your desktop, some of them you might trust (e.g. Adobe) and others you may not. All of them will be downloaded with the status of untrusted, however the only way to trust something is to run it as trusted. You cannot mark it as trusted (or rather, not untrusted) and have a visual indication on the applications icon as to its status. GesWall has this feature and it is rather useful. Before you launch anything e.g. a PDF, you can see whether it is trusted or untrusted.

A simple request this which could be implemented before V3....on the Alarm Notifications it would be useful to provide a recommended action, particularly for keylogger behaviour that is detected. e.g. "......reads keystrokes via RegisterRawInputDevices. This behaviour is highly suspicious and may be due to malware. Terminate is recommended." Whilst the existing alarm text would enable many DW users to assess the threat (or otherwise), more novice users are likely to click "OK" and allow the potentially dangerous activity to continue.

I think that maybe can be interesting to add the possibility of monitoring an application installation without restricting it, in order to be able to run it later as untrusted and being able to add all its resources automatically to the ?Resource Protection? section.

Yep I endorse that.

I often try out a few programs, thnm roll back to me pre-test image. Would be nice to have it, allthough many main stream users would not use it.

An option to include certain files in the UNTRUSTED application area eg. "Setup.exe" in general or *.exe or *.rar
