By the way, how easy/hard is to implement selective engine feature?
Crystal Security 3.5

I love this project because not only do I like the effort the developer puts into it (think about how many hours he has spent developing this software, answering all the questions here, contacting VirusTotal for inquiries on usage to make sure he's staying within the boundaries, etc)... Countless hours over the YEARS.
As well as this, I have never seen the developer lie about his project... He doesn't claim it will detect "99.9% malware" or that it's more powerful than other products and he doesn't make promises he can't keep... I just see a recursive pattern of lots of hard work to implement new features and keep things well-maintained.
Even when he had to take that long break (last year?) he returned and instantly hopped back onto the Crystal Security development.
Honestly I love this project and I have mad respect for the developer. Usually I am not a fan of ".NET security products" but this one is a definitive exclusion to that; I'm even going to use it myself

Hi @Wave,
Thank you for the feedback.
I developed it for three years.
I am glad you like it.
@Yash Khan It is not hard to implement such feature:

@Yash Khan It is not hard to implement such feature:
- Additional settings where users can select engines
- Additional code to show/hide each engine result based on the Settings
- Changes in percentage code to show correct ratio (which is based on the selected engines)
- Testing to avoid bugs in overall results.

Kardo

@Yash Khan I agree that Selective engine feature is useful but it is important to follow VirusTotal policy. I hope you understand.
Other suggestions are always welcome.

Yeah, selective engine feature is useful...I have suggested the same to VoodooShield Dev.
Thank You
They most likely won't implement it for the same reasons @Kardo Kristal isn't going to do it (it seems). And the reasons Kardo left earlier are perfectly reasonable IMO and I agree with him myself. But if they do implement it... Then great

Hi @Hamed.Sims,
Thank you for the suggestion. It will be added in the near future.
Hi @Mops21,
Thanks for the interest.
No ETA date. Sorry. I hope that next version is ready for the next week.
Currently there is a plan to:
- Improve "Start with Windows" feature to bypass UAC prompt on every start-up.
- Add references for VirusTotal service
- Fix some reported issues
Now I am making a list of all reported issues and suggestions.

Kardo

@Mops21,
There is currently one bug in active protection which is reported by many users. It is better to fix that issue before multilingual support.
When that particular bug is fixed then everything should be good and then I can add multilingual support.

You can use the Windows Task Scheduler to bypass the UAC prompt however you will need admin privileges to set it up at first - this is at least how most software which will bypass the UAC prompt will do it, however they normally do it from the installer which will be running as admin already so it can drop the program files to the protected Program Files directory.
An example of software which bypasses the UAC prompt via the Task Scheduler would be CCleaner - it even creates a task with the name which implies it is using the task for that specific purpose. Xvirus Personal Guard also uses this method.

Hi @Wave,
Yes. I will use that method. I tested it few days ago on 32 and 64-bit systems successfully.

If the self-protection is enabled in Crystal Security, you could make it an additional feature to automatically re-create the scheduled task if it becomes deleted, so some sort of persistence self-protection feature. (as long as the auto-start is enabled of course).Hi @Wave,

Hi @Aura,
Thanks for the information.
I suggest to white-list whole Malwarebytes directory.
- Launch Crystal Security
- Go to Whitelist section
- Right-click on empty area in Whitelist section
- Choose: Add Folder to Whitelist
- Locate the folder: C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\ctlrupdate
- Finally click OK to confirm
There is also possible to white-list directory via Notification by clicking on Advanced options.
Can you please quote my suggestion?

Kardo
