AppGuard Solo Install Instructions - AppGuard

Great discount! Over 50% off normal price.

Even with 50% discount people are bonkers to buy AppGuardSolo when this alternative is available for free: AndyFul/Hard_Configurator

Too expensive for the yearly license. I'm still using v.4.4 lifetime on my Windows 10. Very effective and cost saving. I will never pay the price for the yearly license when I can still have a lifetime at the same price.

Ha, ha. Fortunately, they do not compete with each other. The H_C is suited/intended only for the home environment and AG is intended for businesses (although it can be used in the home environment too).
If one likes the H_C approach, then he/she probably will also like the AppGuard in his/her business firm.

It requires a significant amount of know-how to configure it and use it properly.

 

[Andy Ful]

It requires an advanced user to configure and occasionally help the average user, similarly to H_C.

 

[oldschool]

similarly to H_C.

No, because AppGuard doesn't offer the level of support that you do!

 

[shmu26]

It's a good thing it is still a little too expensive, because if it was cheap enough, many unsuspecting people would grab the offer, and seriously mess up their systems...

AppGuard is good for enterprise but not required for home use. As said by others, H_C is an excellent alternative to AG. Another free and excellent alternative is Simple Software Restriction Policy. I use SSRP on Windows 7 and H_C on Windows 10. I still have a lifetime license of AG 4 but don't use it.

You have here at MalwareTips a detailed guide how to set it up and configure it properly.

It will indeed help a lot, but things do change as time goes on. The guide is probably outdated by a couple years.
For instance, Windows Defender now runs from user space, and Office 365 and other apps now need special configuration in order to run properly. AG is already preconfigured for this, if you have an up-to-date version of it, this is just an example of how things change and evolve. There are new vulnerable processes and new malware techniques. Also, AG has certain features that didn't exist when the guide was written.
There are probably other important changes that took place over the past year or two since I stopped using AG, so I am not an updated source of information on the subject.

I posted in the other thread how I set it up and have no issues. I don't use malwarebytes or wd .

There's also Tech Fortress by AOL which is a rebranded AppGuard for 5 bucks a month including a trial. Like others said, be careful though!

I once tried to get it, I think it is only available in US and UK.

I would not trust AOL with my security. Yes it is cheaper than buying Solo but I would rather run a official installer than a rebranded one. Reason is if you get pwned you can be sure of the source and trace back the source of the exploit to the official company installer. With 3rd parties it is always a risk.

 

[Burrito]

I see that Tech Fortress is now $48 a year... which is still more than getting it from AppGuard directly.

AOL used to want $9.99 a month -- which was ridiculous.

When AppGuard was owned by Blue Ridge Networks.... Blue Ridge decided that the consumer market was too much trouble.

Customer service may be 'interesting' for a product that can be difficult but is being marketed to regular Joe..

Customer service

You won't get any.
I mean, you can buy it, you can cancel a renewing subscription, you can even ask for a refund within 30 days (I assume that still applies) but no one is going to troubleshoot your config or hold your hand to cross the street. You can just forget about that.

Does this product do anything much different than Kaspersky's Trusted Application Mode ?

It is closer to Hard_Configurator. It is totally and completely different from Kaspersky TAM.

Just to inform you:
Trusted Application Mode (TAM) has been removed in the upcoming Kaspersky 2021, according to @harlan4096
