[QUOTE="kC77, post: 981877, member: 92796"] Well this was very unexpected and anyone using this software may be at risk if you have changed from the default settings! retested this(twice to be sure) enabled the extra features.. application control, and set the heuristics to highest (at the start of the gif ill share here you will see the settings i changed... i also found the option to diable the pop ups....) but basically with harder settings in place.... the system was totally and utterly compromised.... take a look at the amount of threat connections to outside on my IDS threat MAP, i had 177 alerts within 2 minutes (the pink dot shows the location/country and the number is the amount of intrusion detections) [SPOILER="Threat map (amount of alerts and in which country they connected to)"][ATTACH type="full" alt="arcabit-map.jpg"]265381[/ATTACH][/SPOILER] as seen in the gif below, after the last test I also ran currports from nirsoft to visually see the samples connecting.. what im blown away with though is how by enabling what i'd think are more secure settings, how the protection of this software goes to basically ZERO. Now it did make it to the end of the test, and there is drive wiper malware in this set, so it blocked some things...... GIF - test 2 - Arcabit Max settings (total fail) [URL='https://www.dropbox.com/s/bjq8df8zy8pmndz/ARCABITMAX-FAIL2.gif?dl=0']76.1mb download[/URL] my only advice if you do use this software, LEAVE AT DEFAULT SETTINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (just to be sure it wasnt a bug, i reset the machine and tested again with the same settings (but didnt use game mode option) and exactly the same happened. [/QUOTE]
