Hey folks, the previous thread "what album are you listening to" was closed, but I felt like starting one up again with a few brief rule changes so it won't happen again. You can share one song or one album per post with a video or direct playable other share, unlike before where sometimes people would post like 10 videos in one post. If the video thumbnail image has nudity, or any kind of graphic material such as drug use, just find another video with a different image. Anyways, let me...

But, it can happen that I frustrate some members, because their requests they made to me, I can't find them anymore.....
It's not my fault unfortunately, hence this topic.

Hey Guys,
Here is the first VoodooShield 7.0 beta. The new Contextual Engine is almost 100% complete, but there will be a few blocks, so please let me know if you experience any unwanted blocks. Overall you should see a significant reduction in blocks, but I am certain that I am missing a few things, and we simply won’t know what they are until VS is ran on other systems with different software.
Once the Contextual Engine is 100%, I will update DefenderUI Pro to have the exact same...

Hey Guys!

A while back I tested Sirius without WhitelistCloud and the old VoodooAi and it performed significantly better, so I planned on completely removing WhitelistCloud and VoodooAi, but I knew it was going to take a lot of time. Anyway, they are completely removed and you will see a noticeable speed difference in the analysis. But keep in mind we have a whole new database for the new Sirius, so there will be a lot of results that are...

A few things regarding the video:
1). If you just want the setup, that starts at 6:20
2). I left the HIPS disabled throughout the video. Although having it enabled would have alerted us to the threat in the Firewall Security configuration part, as I can think of no valid reason not to switch to proactive Security Config I did not want to belabor this point.
3). I did not elaborate on the various Sandbox levels, nor the differences in Safe vs Custom Firewall modes since these topics have...

As the title says have you changed the default site permissions on your Chromium based browser? When why? When not, have a look at AI's advice.
In below table: the advice is when it mentions ASK or BLOCK is that you can set it to block, when the mentioned use cases don;t apply. I am using no web-apps therefore I block all app related "ask or block" (file access and apps on your devices), because my mail and browser run in sandboxes, I have set protocal handlers also to block.
