If it is the cloud that checks the files when you go to analyze them, then yes. Before it just said "unknown" and didn't even bother to queue up. Now it seems to work within 3 seconds so I'm happy with it. Been running it for about 2 hours now and there still hasn't been any problems with files being flagged as unknown. Probably just had a conflict with a firewall. Working well with Bitdefender's firewall and AV only conflicted with it due to maxed out Virus Control/Intrustion Prevention.

Thank you for the feedback. @OokamiCreed

Glad to hear that it works well now and your issue is solved. :)

It also crashed about 10 times, it said the logs were saved, but I can't find them.
Is C:\Users\x\appdata\Roaming\Crystal Security\3.5 Beta\Logs the correct directory?
(BTW, it's not beta anymore. The directory should be renamed, remember about changing it in the message)

In some cases error log is not saved. Will be fixed. Directory is correct.

Okay. :)

Interesting article: The CozyDuke, the last Russian APT group

Kaspersky Lab discovered another APT group dubbed CozyDuke which is believed to have hacked the US Department of State and the White House.

It is interesting because Crystal Security was mentioned (quote from the source):


Once compromised the targeted system, the malware checks for the presence of defense solutions from principal security vendors, including Kaspersky, Avira, Comodo, Crystal Security, Dr. Web and Sophos.

Is it possible that this malware also searches for Crystal Security program (e.g. to avoid detection)?

I think, it is good news. Because malwares wants to by-pass Crystal, it means other vendors are easy prey but Crystal ;)
In order to elude defense solutions, the components of the CozyDuke executable are signed with fake Intel and AMD digital certificates.
Aim is by-passing ,default deny architecture, the trusted vendors with Intel & AMD certificates.

This project should get more consideration because it's a solid security solution.
@Kardo Kristal you should really start to get this thing to the next level, like implementing a paid product. I'd bet that some big company will make an offer to buy the project but you are the one that truly knows how much struggle and hard work is involved in this project, so don't throw it away for a few bucks if the chance arises. I wish you the best and I really hope that Crystal Security will get bigger and bigger.
