That`s the problem with whitelisting, once you let it through that`s it game over.

Makes the the running of a real time AV an imperative when using such programs.

the VS/CL recommendation (best practice) is to reset the whitelist periodically.

Resetting the white list is good practice but won`t help if you allow a compromised app that you think safe through, remember the Ccleaner debacle some years ago ?

AppGuard and CyberLock are system reinforcement software.
They will block unknown software (or suspicious behavior) to help your antivirus software.
Please note: they do not replace your antivirus software!
But they do work differently: AppGuard simply prohibits, while CyberLock goes further.
Let's compare them!



AppGuard :
The software is very light, but it has a way of working that I don't like: it blocks and that's it!
It gives no details and no reason...
It behaves like an anti-exe, blocking anything it deems suspicious. That's fine, because the machine hasn't suffered any damage, but if you download a program from a small unsigned publisher, it will be blocked.
I also find the interface rather austere, not suitable for novices.
Machine is clean (normal, it blocks everything)

CyberLock/VoodooShield :
The interface is much more welcoming and user-friendly, even though it's packed with settings.
I activated WhitelistCloud but it made a false positive which I ignored before testing.
CyberLock blocks all executions during URLS like AppGuard, it analyzes with its AI and gives a score. What I love: It's clear and I can quarantine!
On the pack, CyberLock also blocks everything except the scripts it failed to analyze. So I authorized it once before blocking: it ended up infecting the machine.
MSBuilder is in memory, connected and active!
NPE detects traces, while KVRT detects the Trojan in memory.

Request : @Dave Russo & @danb

@danb : I still have the archive if you need it

Thank you for testing AppGuard vs CyberLock.

Thank you for testing AppGuard vs CyberLock.

I use both on different computers but not on the same computer. Both are excellent IMO.

I also use both on different computers,Both are excellent, Information on Cyberlock is way more assessable,Andy Ful gives a very excellent mention of some work he did on Appguard, his post is earlier on this App review if you go back to about the 20th post from begining

@Andy Ful didn't create cyberlock, @danb did. Andy Ful created Hard_Configurator and ConfigureDefender.
