Foltyn SecurityShield

[Terry Ganzi]

Application description
Foltyn SecurityShield is member of new kind of anti-malware software, which is not based on known malware code signatures, but on analysing code behaviour, and detecting which is malicious for the system.

For the initial versions, it was especially designed to detect (and block) ransom malware.

We're planning to add detection of other malicious code behaviour in future versions. Especially we plan to detect and block exploits.

Thanks for sharing. Considering this is the first beta this could be worth taking a closer look... CS has taken an interest in this one and her initial tests show some pretty positive results...Beware the link below is to the other forum": https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/foltyn-securityshield-beta.389957/reply?quote=2632291

I have installed this Beta, but you can't turn off the protection from the main UI, and even doing right-click on the shield in the tray bar..it's just open the program previously only minimized by clicking on "X".
No doubt about the effectiveness (not tested by me), but even considering that it is a Beta, at least to be able to close the program.

A fundemental flaw for sure. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release!

If you can't , the malware will struggle too for sure

Could be worth keeping an eye on this for sure.

The same was true in my case. Maybe it is the Windows 10 incompatibility.
