[QUOTE="vertigo, post: 781328, member: 70928"] To update my earlier post, I've found that when attempting to disable MBR protection, folders protection, and HIPS-lite via the "Protection Settings" window, it doesn't retain the changes. The other features can be disabled there, and all features can be enabled there (with the possible exception of MBR protection, since I can't find any other way to disable it, which means it can [I]not[/I] be disabled, so I can't see if enabling it there is remembered or not). In order to truly disable folders protection and HIPS-lite, it needs to be done in the main interface. So this appears to be a bug. Another issue I have is with the alerts, which seem much more frequent than other programs, and are often not very helpful, not to mention being difficult to read being tiny text in an area you have to scroll to even read everything. I've basically reached the point that I give up on the app lockdown and HIPS-lite aspect of it, as the popups are relentless and, as mentioned, not even very helpful. Another thing I don't care for is that the features can't be disabled while there's a pop-up open, so when installing a program and getting one pop-up after another, I couldn't just turn it off to get them to stop, but rather had to keep clicking allow or block until I was through all of them. Another note is that it would be helpful to have some sort of description, in a tooltip or something, explaining what the "perform full cleanup" switch on the HIPS notifications means. At this point, I [I]may[/I] use it for ransomware and MBR protection and possible folder protection, and just leave the other stuff disabled and use other programs for those aspects. But then, considering how buggy it seems to be in my limited use of it so far, and that others have commented on it being buggy as well, I may not. Anyways, hopefully this feedback will be useful to the developers. [/QUOTE]
