It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Thanks, but does it affect software that updates its self like antivirus?
When you Exit "Shadow Mode", there is two options :

- Discard all changes except Exlusion List
- Commit all changes

So yes it can affect updates made by themselves when you are on Shadow mode.

That why there is several ways to use Shadow Defender.

For example : If I only use it to open / run unknown files or test software / malware :
=> when I Exit, I choose "Discard all changes except Exclusion List" (this will cancel all changes on partitions I have selected by checkbox before Enter in Shadow mode).
If my AV has made an update during the time I was protected by Shadow Defender => doesn't matter it cancel it, it will re update later :)

Nothing surprise, any behavior of malware will caught by that simple virtualization.

Still it will take up numerous generation to discover another flaw of concept besides to kill itself when an anti-sandbox detected.

AV Guru- Here and on my channel. I just hope it will be ready as it will have to exceed just running the RAT. Also I have to code (or find) something that in theory may be interesting.

I was thinking that it will be giveaway of AppGurad...looks like I missunderstund post before.

Looking forward next test by Cruelsister and hope that VoodooShield will be included.

Sorry for bad english :cool:
