the ability to change from trusted to not trusted while in browser session would be handy. Perhaps a drop down in the title bar?

maybe it possible to change the remark "defansewall status= untrusted" to icon ? (maybe red one)
that because some title are long or in some situation the window holding the warning is small and u cant see immediately the status

cheers

In such cases i always look if there is a star * at the begining.

Yeah but i think it is the same rule as in Sandboxie where you have hash #, in DW we have a star * :)

Hi

new to DefenseWall and appreciating it so far :)

I'd like to see the possibility to change the title bar indication to something less intrusive (if you parden the pun...). The star is enough, IMO.

Anyway, thanks for a great product and from what I've heard and what I read on these forums: Thanks for great support!

[jjmonge]

cool ideas:)

[TexWiller]

I'd like to see some sort of visual indication on a file's icon [..] as to which are untrusted...

...I would also like to see the pop-up notifications colour coded to indicate the possible severity of the detection...

Application execute permission control.

A very cool DefenseWall desktop image and screensaver.

I would like to see a couple of new features...

1. A search option for the untrusted list so that a an item could be searched for in the list instead of having to scroll down through it item by item.

2. Perhaps the same feature for the trusted list.

3. A filter feature for the untrusted list so that I can optionally NOT show old items, uninstalled items, only new items, or only built-in items, etc..

4. Perhaps a similar feature for the other lists that might get lengthy.

5. A filter for the pop up messages so that only critical would show. This would keep harmless "Xprogram reads keystrokes" messages from popping up on harmless items.

6. A feature for the tray icon so that it could be set to only turn red for items in the untrusted list that are not filtered, or that are able to connect to either the internet, or a program that can.

Just press "F3" or Crtl-F.

2. Perhaps the same feature for the trusted list.

Such the list is not exists.

3. A filter feature for the untrusted list so that I can optionally NOT show old items, uninstalled items, only new items, or only built-in items,

How to determine if an item is "old"?

5. A filter for the pop up messages so that only critical would show. This would keep harmless "Xprogram reads keystrokes" messages from popping up on harmless items.

You can already filter them.

6. A feature for the tray icon so that it could be set to only turn red for items in the untrusted list that are not filtered, or that are able to connect to either the internet, or a program that can.

It turnes red for the messages are not filtered already.

Well I learned a few things here. Thanks Ilya.

No not if an item is "old". My untrusted list is several pages long, even maximized. It seems that everything I install or download goes in there. It's like a junkyard of old, perhaps not even installed anymore. Any pruning of the list has to be done manually an entry at a time. It would be nice if the untrusted list were a little more savvy about what is put there, or for how long.

If DW were told to monitor the install/uninstall files of a program, and I uninstalled it, DW would then drop it from its lists.

If the only things in the untrusted list were the built in list, and those programs that can connect, then everything else could be filtered so that it would not show in the list, unless a user wanted it to.

Thanks Ilya!

[Ilya Rabinovich]

With upcoming whitelisting (yes, limited by the digital signatures and "known as good" list of software vendors, but, anyway...) the list may decrease automatically by removing "known as safe" apps from it.

[Mercurybird]

It would be helpful if DW had a reminder feature to it...

Sometimes running an installation routine in "Run as trusted" mode doesn't work, due to the fact that the installation scheme is in more than one routine. The end result is a failed installation.

So I disable DW long enough to take care of the installation. The trouble is, I sometimes forget to re-enable DW's protection. I have gone online at such times before and did not notice my mistake.

If there was a message popup that said, "DW's protection is disabled. Do you still wish to launch the program?" This could apply to just the programs which connect to the web, or just browser and email, or even all untrusted.

Very helpful feature.

[Ilya Rabinovich]

With the V3, there are three additional features are involved to simplify software installation. The first one is whitelisting, allow you to move untrusted files to trusted automatically and on its launch from within "Download Areas" folder. The second one is dynamic mode selection on the "Download Areas" file launch. And the third is "disable protection" with timer. I assume, more then enough to feel safe about "oops, I forgot to switch defense on!".
