Yes, the threat above was picked up entirely by heuristics, as I have not wired the connection and file reputation modules. So this is in paranoid mode, in automatic mode it would have been blocked. Once the reputation modules have been integrated, remediation will be integrated as well. It has all been developed, it just needs to be wired.

Hawk Eye has now completed a full migration to Rust.

The upcoming HEAT completely taps into the Rust ecosystem, memory safety and robust multi-threading.

WebView2 has been dumped in favour of fully pre-compiled UI that uses 15x less memory and 4-5x less CPU.

Along with new OOBE and signature sound profile.

 
@Trident - You have been one busy beaver. The presentation looks great, amazing. And only you as developer? Wow!
Busy, busy indeed and these pages barely scratch the surface to be honest. It makes me happy 😀

If you ask someone what they’ve built and they can’t pull detailed documentation, you can only assume they’ve built nothing!

I have a vision from all these years of testing, criticising and being on here so this helps a lot. I am not going back and forth (with the main logics), I know where I want to go and what needs to be done.

It is just the stack that took time to choose. The first versions used to work as PowerShell script (some people remember). Then it was .Net 11, dropped quickly, then it was C++ but I started to dislike the minimalistic and permissive compiler. Rust is way stricter.
 
After a holiday, back to it now.

During my holiday, I spent loads of time playing with Slint.

I was constantly torn:
-Precompiled machine code UIs are extremely performant and light but it is hard to achieve the UX I wanna achieve.
-Web wrappers and views make it easy but performance is gone.

AI cannot just do it, i tried, the results were ranging from atrocious to disgusting.

So, after a few months, I’ve mastered machine-level UIs and the result is OrbitLive.

The next generation of OrbitUI that features ActiveMotion (visible in video) and ActiveInfo (not visible yet). ActiveInfo displays all the information at a glance before the user has even clicked. For example the system monitor background will be split in 2 halfs. Half 1 will display cpu usage as a vertical graph, half 2 will display ram usage.

I hope users will love this UI as much as I enjoyed creating it.

 
Hello, not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I downloaded the installer version and the portable and I get this now, don't know how long it's been like this. I don't open the interface all that often. Do I need to disable Smart App Copntrol?

Smart App Control blocks applications in Windows 11 based on a combination of cloud-based reputation, code signing validity, and behavioral analysis.

If an app is unsigned, has an invalid signature, or lacks a trusted reputation in Microsoft’s cloud database, Smart App Control will block it from running to prevent potential malware or unauthorized system changes.

In the case of AiDefender It verifies if the executable is signed by a certificate issued by a Trusted Root Certificate Authority (CA) within the Microsoft Trusted Root Program, and if i recall well it is not yet signed, this triggers the block, meaning you need to disable Smart App Control to use it.
