Thanks Ilya!

Thanks Ilya. Its running fine here so far on XP SP3.

Thanks Ilya!

Running fine here with XP SP3. Getting use to the resource protection.

Question: Can i use it to protect Roboform data or is it unnecessary? I tired but then i cant use it, DW blocks the access. I assume thats what it supposed to do.

If you want to protect Roboform resources, you need associate its data folder with the browser you use with Roboform.

Ilya some questions (because i want to isolate untrusted processes some more)

1. The save DW settings has internal and additional lists. What is saved in what?

2. When I want ot set up some additional registry and file protection and I want to share only this with friends. How do I do that?

3. Do the registry resource protection entries also faciliate wild cards (in registry like * or ?). When I enter a registry key, are the subkeys and all the values in it also contained?

4. Does the file protection also facilitate windows variables (like %windir%)

5. Would it make sense to include HKLM hives (since normal restricted user policy containment would not allow you to change them)?
I gues the HKU and HKCU would make sense

6. Would protection of critical windows files in the root directory, windows and system32 make sense (normally restricted)

Thanks Kees

1. The save DW settings has internal and additional lists. What is saved in what?

Additional: Secured, DownloadArea, ExcludeList, RollbackList
Internal- TemporaryModifyList.

2. When I want ot set up some additional registry and file protection and I want to share only this with friends. How do I do that?

Use "save resource protection" list if you mean resource protection settings.

3. Do the registry resource protection entries also faciliate wild cards (in registry like * or ?). When I enter a registry key, are the subkeys and all the values in it also contained?

Yes, but very limited.

4. Does the file protection also facilitate windows variables (like %windir%)

Yes with defensewall_initialization.txt list, but not the list into the registry.

5. Would it make sense to include HKLM hives (since normal restricted user policy containment would not allow you to change them)?

No, this will cause your untrusted processes die. "resource protection" means "no other untrusted process can get any kind of access to given resources but associated ones".

6. Would protection of critical windows files in the root directory, windows and system32 make sense (normally restricted)

No, it is already here with 2.40 build.

HI Ilya. Emailed you a Dr Watson and an Error Report I had on a shut down. Was taking a couple of downloads off the untrusted list at the time. Hope it's of use to you. Other than that it has been working fine.

[Ilya Rabinovich]

No, no use- all the files you sent me contains no technical information I could use at all.

[Threedog]

Recreated the error and sent you the Dr Watson's.

[Ilya Rabinovich]

Sent you improved executable back. Check it out- in case it still crash, send me DrWatson't log back on.

[Ilya Rabinovich]

Just uploaded new (RC2) build of DefenseWall v2.40 (hope, the last RC). Also, help file have been improved. All the links are the same.

[Threedog]

Still crashing. Reverted back to a XPSP2 image and tried it.

Anyone else experiencing this? What is happening is when I do a download or add an app to the Untrusted Applications list and then open up the Untrusted tab to remove it, Defensewall crashes.

[hawkwind]

The strange thing is i was just going to report it when you did as it seemed to happen every time i removed an app from the untrusted list, but I had to go out for the day and for some reason the crash seems to have stopped now
