Hi, is defensewall 3 out of alpha stage yet and ready to be unleashed for the experianced but not expert users?
Thanks :)

It's under private beta test.

OK thanks Ilya :)

Hi,

I use Defensewall with OA++ (wich contain a firewall) will this new version still compatible with OA++ or any other suite containing firewall?


Thanks,
Atomas31

As always- it should be compatible.

WOW! Thanks Ilya that's good news! Also, that means another layer of defense will be apply and compatible with other security application including other firewall


Keep up your great works Ilya, you totally rock!

But, I suppose, DW will be much simpler in use then OA. As usual, too...

Hi Ilya,

Since the door has been opened I will step through and ask the question.....how long before a public release, beta or otherwise??

Thanks,

ds

Right now, it depends on how long skinning library will be under development. Unfortunately, it's out of my control.

So i guess DW 3 is looking pretty good apart from the skin ????

Yes, it's much better then v2.xx builds. Also, it brings up new, innovative, revolutionary firewall protection approaches.

Sounds good, I'll definitely give it a try when it comes out. Any chance I could get a copy of a beta? Thanks.

Currently, it's under tests of the DW users who are with me for a long time and actively participating. Don't worry- I'll give other users enough time to play with public beta.

Good news indeed.

Great.Waiting for a stable BETA.I hope it will work without problems with Highspeeds from utorrent.
Many software firewalls have problems under these conditions on my PC

Waiting for the public beta here

I have no problems with uTorrent at my computer at all. My speed is 2 Mbit/s.

My speed is also 2Mbit/s and I can only confirm what Ilya wrote - no problems here with uTorrent, CPU usage is still on the same low level (as before running uTorrent) without any high spikes - tested few minutes ago. Good job Ilya, as always

Looking forward to the release, Ilya, I am sure it will be a great addition to an already excellent product and the wait worthwhile!

Any screenshots of the new version?

2Mbit is not very high speed,100Mbit is high,on 100Mbit with utorrent-Outpost using about 8-12% of my cpu,ZA Pro about 15-20%,Sygate Pro about 18-25%,OA Pro 10-15%,and only Look'n'stop and Comodo about 0-1% cpu...
My cpu 2core Intel E8500...

Have some patience- I just got back home.

Any signs of this beta release being made public in the near future?

I start my work with getting skinning back. Hope, will be able to finish it soon.

Great news, really looking forward to trying and using the new version :)

Just one question. If I'm not mistaken, version 3 will include a firewall. Will this firewall be compatible with other firewalls? I'm currently using Avira's Security Suite, which includes a firewall. Will I have to disable the firewall in DW or can I use both firewalls simulateneously? I do hope DW will be fully compatible with other security apps.

Hi Buddel,

Take a look here: http://gladiator-antivirus.com/forum/index...showtopic=92869

Thanks for your help, darthsideous666. So I suppose version 3 of DW will be fully compatible with all other security apps and firewalls. That's good to know. Looking forward to version 3.

Thanks for your reply, Ilya.

remember alitle more than a year i go i met Defensewall and after i learned how to use it i decided to dump my antivirus software,i noticed my pc speed up alitle:):) now that defensewall is building a firewall to it's program i am already to dump my firewall as well:):)

I'm not going to dump anything - neither my anti-virus software nor my firewall - but I am definitely looking forward to the next version of DW HIPS.

i did cause it is old technologgy which is not up to date againts malware,firewall adds more confusion to my familly whose always get scare to see firewall pop up,i love the simplicity of DW plus pc runs way faster,i did a test and i put an antivirus software and Dw and for more than a week and the antivirus pick up what it recognize leaving some nasty stuff i easilly deleted with Dw roll back,
note:some malware were runing in my system and the antivirus was greeny saying my system was secure when in fact was not,so dont really trust them anymore,i put an effort to learn how to use the rollback feature and to say that very nicelly remove malware myself"good for me":)now i am testing DW personal firewall and i am training everybody here how to proper answer a Dw firewall pop up,it is very simple ligth and strong:)

jjmonge, I have always believed in a layered approach to security, and nothing's going to change that in the foreseeable future. At least for the time being, I do believe that anti-virus software is essential, and so is a firewall. Running all my security apps simultaneously has never caused any problems, so there is absolutely no reason for me to get rid of them. It goes without saying that I don't want to miss DW, either. I love this app.

i also belive in layer but i personally dont use some thing midiocre as antivirus,and yes they are very helpfull and usefull but how many times did i clean infected computers with real time antivirus running:):)now i tell you yes i believe in layer protection on top of DW i also use a hips program to complement DW real time protection,and i know that DW alone is more than enough but just to feal litle paranoid i run a clasical hips program:)

So is there any news about a potential release date or, at least, screenshots about the beta version?

No news. Skin library is too raw and have to be polished.

take your time Ilya

I already made all the work that depends on me. I'm waiting for the contractor to improve the skinning library.

good to know :)

Great news that all of your work is finished on version 3.
Looking forward to this when skinning is finished :)

I have one question- would you like to have skinning switchable on and off?

For me the answer would be yes as i will most likely have skinning turned off if i have the choice.

Is this a vote? If so, yes, switchable on/off!

Easy for you to say since you already have the beta!

yes if it is posible why not:) i like to be naked some times:):)

i dont know why but i feel faster with this skinless program :)

Switchable would probably be best, particularly if it runs faster skinless.

If the skin is the only thing holding up the public beta, I don't think your current users care too much if that is missing.

My thoughts exactly

In fact- yes, I'd like to introduce the full packet. Also, one more thing is important here- Chachazz need to have its interface full-featured to write the help file further.

Yes, that would definitely be a plus.
