I would have liked to see Shadowra test it this way too. Along with An Adguard extension for Edge and Using FAB set to only allow in and out connections for Edge and just MS Defender.Sure.Lifetime also, latest version. I am using it with it as if Appguard misses something SD will rollback the changes. So far for SD was not the case to do anything.
You can add trusted publishers to allow needed signed programs.
This is true but, in my case, all are deleted except for Microsoft and Appguards.
Then you might as well save some money and run WDAC in windows only mode for user folders (add allow for Windows & Program Files 2x) with Microsoft Defender on MAX
No I have not, but when your life time lisence ends
you might as well save some money and use WDAC when your config is limited to Microsoft only plus Appguard signed. Less is more.Hey Zero. Yes i used Voodoo for a long time and my free lic is still good till 2025. Also used Andys great programs. I guess I have used them all beings I was one of the original 1000 members @ Wilders. Why wouldn't have I ? LOL
I agree but update, I installed AGsolo about 3 months ago, somehow I paid $39 for 1-year license, within 24 hours it updated to version 6.7.65.4. I emailed support a question and they replied with an ok answer within 12 hours. AG does block lots, so I set it to record its events without bothering me. win10 22H2 is running fine with AG with ESET for AV. Not sure I'll renew for $89 though.
You shouldn't have too. I haven't had any changes to the original Covid price I paid so far anyway. That may change though in future, who knows? The cost of renewal should cost the same as signup. Check the FastSpring link in your order summary/delivery. It should state the cost per year, renewal date and your payment method .
charging you more each year for renewing licenses (looking at you AV/AM companies who do this ), the backlash from people towards practices like that is huge.
...that's the link I used a few months ago to buy for $39, but tonight 22 Feb the price is $69.
Thanks! I hope you are correct about the renewal remaining $39. NOTE the blueridge link mentioned earlier for the $39 price is $69 tonight, 22 Feb.You shouldn't have too. I haven't had any changes to the original Covid price I paid so far anyway. That may change though in future, who knows? The cost of renewal should cost the same as signup.

And if they do change it and charge you more just do a charge back on CC/PP. It's also very scummy
yes understood, I'll look for for that email. The point, tonight a new license is $69 at blueridge url.
Yeah, I understand
bad for people who haven't already got a license. But as others have said, AppGuard is not targeted to home users more corporate.
Yes my experience too. The first few weeks of using AG, all the blocks, eg, MS Edge being blocked from so many things, was a concern to me, but overall seems not to affect Edge or win10.I am wondering how meaningful AG's features like memory guard and guarded applications are at this point in context with current Windows development. There are times when these features can interfere with useful functions. There are so many blocks reported by AG that you have to assume that some beneficial things are being blocked - especially since their support for AG Solo is so limited. (Sidebar- looking at the AG activity report, MS Edge must try to read the memory of almost everything.) Last November, I emailed them to ask if AG supports Windows 11, and this was their reply - "We are currently rigorously testing windows 11 with AppGuard Solo. Many customers have used it without any issues. We haven’t announced official support until the testing is over, but if we do find anything it will be patched in the next possible release." I realize an app like this doesn't need constant updates, but I would expect some tweaks with a new OS version. Three months later, I have to wonder how "rigorous" the testing has been.
current count 5,626 blocked events. but that's since 2 days ago, but then I'm using this vm without AG 98.7% of the time.Thanks for your reply. I was aware of that rule of thumb, but the massive number of alerts lately has made me wonder. For example, just in the last 3 hours AppGuard reports that it stopped 5,348 suspicious activities. Virtually all of them are about preventing Microsoft Edge from reading memory of almost everything in the system (even when it's not showing as open in the tray - obviously still running in the background). I assume that this is standard for Edge, and I wouldn't know about it without MemoryGuard. A stunning amount of activity - it went up to 5,382 while typing this. The other variable is this new machine came with Windows 11, and it's hard to know if AG broke something or just the inherent bugs.
but the Host is protected by AG.my experience was the same as yours until I realized that all of the blocks and suspicious events listed are not a concern unless something does not work as expected. For the past couple of months, I just let it run and do its thing. My usual problem, I forget to reduce the protection in order to install an app, and even then things merely come to a stop, so far nothing broken.
No AppGuard hater here. Hope you outlive your AppGuard lifetime license.It's ok Max, you will be ok. You are not the only Appguard hater @ MalwareTips.
That's a good boy
technically, I think I also have a life-time AG license since somewhere in version 3, but what I recall from several years ago, if you uninstalled AG, and then later reinstalled it, it created license issues for me. I think it got cleared up with support eventually, but then happened again, and finally left AG off my pc. Recently bought the current v6 and luckily it is running smoothly on my win10, and I'm "afraid" to uninstall it for fear of losing my current annually renewable license which may, or may not, renew for $39. (also no reason so far to uninstall it) Looks like I'm holding a copy v4.4.6.1, looks like I have copies going back to v3.3.
Or more of comodo as company is not favored, so whereas AG might be especially if it was more open to home users.I agree. Even though you would think that all of the blocked events would have an impact, I haven't found anything broken either.Yes my experience too. The first few weeks of using AG, all the blocks, eg, MS Edge being blocked from so many things, was a concern to me, but overall seems not to affect Edge or win10.
