[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1120029, member: 114717"] It does not matter how many times this is explained to bug and, especially, bypass reporters. If they would only submit the reports via Support channels, with good evidence - videos, logs, Windows Events, kill chain analysis, etc - then they would have a much better result. Few people have figured out this is the way. Maybe. HIPS is dead. Been dead for a number of years. Local virtualization/containment is on its way out too except for virtual machines. Every virtualization product out there is either no longer actively developed or in maintenance. (Comodo is in maintenance; it is no longer being actively developed for years. Only "fixes" and cosmetic improvements.) Sandboxie is a one-man shop now and it has no long-term future. Shadow Defender, Faronics, a few others - those have been in maintenance for 10+ years. Perhaps Rollback RX and Reboot Restore. The longer-term future of Windows systems is VDI Windows. Basically, many consumer and enterprise systems will be Windows PC will be Windows VDI terminal - a la Google ChromeOS & Chromebooks. If - and here is the caveat - IF - Microsoft offers cheap VDI to OEMs. If that happens, the cloud-based version of Windows is limitless for the consumer/home user market globally. Microsoft has no interest in making a Windows version that competes head-to-head with ChromeOS. Too much work for Microsoft. Windows VDI is the M$'s play. Best thing nowadays for virtualization is just to not be cheap and buy a Windows Pro license, throw it into a VMWare or VirtualBox virtual machine, activate it, and then harden the: 1. real system/physical system (Host OS) 2. VMWare or VirtualBox (don't use Hyper-V) 3. the Guest OS 4. take known good, golden snapshot And have at it. 5. revert to known good, golden snapshot mwhahahahahah Given that both VMWare Workstation Pro and VirtualBox are free - as in given away freely with 0 Euro cost - and VL Windows Pro licenses can be had for cheap - I am flummoxed as to why people don't do the above. At least the security conscious folk. I have VMs that have been in-use for 10+ years. Secure, secure, and should I mess up - oh well - revert to SnapShot "Golden." Just have to semi-annually update the "Golden" snapshot and create a new "Golden" snapshot. Not exactly rocket science. Just takes the willingness and time to do it. people don't want to take the time to build a virtual machine - or, more commonly - they try to throw too much third party software into a single virtual machine and turn it into a PITA. Solution is separate virtual machines for specific tasks. For development, throw your favorite IDE and other development tools into your <dev> VM and leave it at that. For trading, install your trading and investment apps onto it and just use it for that. Of course that is far too much for people to wrap their minds around. Too much work. But actually, practically, no it isn't. Especially when you build efficiencies into your operations. [/QUOTE]
