When was the last time you have used Geswall?

If any of you still use or have used it extensively, do you mind sharing your experiences and comments?

Works on 32-bit only.

Future development of this product appears to be non-existent, which is a shame because it's excellent software when Matt tested it -years back.

Haven't tried it since Matt from remove-malware did a review on it a few years back.

Umbra Corp. said:

Why would they have x64 on their download page then. Misleading :(

On a side note, I wish some of the x86 products would work on x64 (defensewall for example. Also was under the impression NVT EXE Radar was only available for x86 but I seem to be wrong).

Real x64 protection will be even more difficult on Win8, even Sandboxie doesn't have one yet.

Long time product became active and now the website itself went blank for some reasons,

Development activity went unknown since couple of years.

Few days ago, one user complained Gesswall corrupted registry settings, so computer got unbootable. Luckily we were be able to restore registry through RC...

I wouldn't recommend this program for using...
