UPDATE:
Simple DNSCrypt: I Installed SimpleDNSCrypt a couple of days ago,and selected Adguard DNS..
Between then and this morning I had constant problems with losing internet connection.
I have glasswire installed,and I was getting pop-ups from it sometimes 5 or more times per hour telling me that Internet connection had been lost (sometimes for a few minutes,sometimes for only a few seconds)..
I uninstalled SimpleDNSCrypt early this morning and tried just the Adguard DNS on its own,and all has been fine.
This has put me off using SimpleDNSCrypt again.
hi adguardDns it self has problems. sometimes, I had internet connection problems that I could only connect to https pages, not normal http. I replaced aguarddns by google or opendns and it was fixed completely. IMO, Adguard is not really stable enough be used as primary DNS

I also had internet connectivity problems when Simple DNSCrypt was installed. VoodooShield would complain that VAi couldn't access the internet. Webpages also sometimes failed to load properly. I used two DNS servers, which are the ones used by Umbra.

I already uninstalled it, and now internet connection is fine. I wonder why Umbra isn't experiencing this problem.

Also have VS and SimpleDNS but I don't experience the issues your having or maybe cause I'm still at Windows 7.

I have some ,the disconnections appears randomly few times a day ; and i simply shift the DNS server in SDC; i thought it was because im in a country with not so good telelcom's infrastructures :D
Thank you all for your replies about this :).. It is really helpful for me to hear other members experiences :)

REPLACED:
I have replaced Adguard DNS with DNS.Watch,after experiencing a few losses in Internet connection since removing SimpleDNSCrypt..
So far DNS.Watch seems to be working OK :)...
DNS.Watch uses 84.200.69.80 & 84.200.70.40 ...For more Information visit.. DNS.Watch

UPDATED:
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free from 1.09.1.1235 Stable to 1.09.1.1243 Experimental Build
(Available @ Forums.Malwarebytes.org)

EDIT: @ 21:45 (UK Time)...
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free from 1.09.1.1243 Experimental Build to 1.09.1.1254 Experimental Build
(Available @ Forums.Malwarebytes.org)

ADDED SOFTWARE:
DeepArmor BETA
Early Observations-
Seems to play well with my other Security Software other than Crystal Security,which has produced the first & only alert so far from DeepArmor,and has resulted in Crashing Crystal Security a few times (Normally when DeepArmor Installs Sig Updates in a "Temp" Folder)..
I have made an exclusion for the DeepArmor Temp Folder in Crystal Security to see if it solves the problem..(I have not previously needed to add ANY exclusions to Crystal Security)

ADDED UBLOCK ORIGIN CUSTOM FILTER;
Kurobeats: Phishing Hosts
-Click Here (Details at Github.com)

The above filter has been added to the "uBlock Custom Filters" Spoiler on my initial Config post..
For convenience I have copied the Spoiler below;

UPDATED ON 10/11/2016- New Links are in Green

Below are links to 56 uBlock Origin "Custom Filters" .
Please Note that adding numerous extra filters should be done with a degree of caution.
I suggest to add maybe 2 or 3 of those that interest you at a time and check for any issues such as "Browser Slow-Down", "Web-Page Breakage", "Specific Site-Access Denial"..etc.All of our surfing habits differ,so just add the filters that you consider beneficial to you.

To add these Filters to uBlock Origin-
Go to uBlock Origin's Settings --> 3rd-Party Filters --> Scroll down to the bottom of the page and "Paste" the URL of the desired filter into the box provided --> Then Click on the "Parse" button --> Then click the "Apply Changes" button that will appear on the right side of the screen.

The "Click Here" Buttons below will take you to each respective Filter-List page.
Some of the pages may take a few seconds to load due to their size.
This will allow you to "Copy & Paste" the URL into uBlock Origin should you wish to.
Many of the Filters below are available on Filterlists.com, which has many more lists including language/region specific.

(PLEASE NOTE: Not all of these lists are updated "Automatically" through uBlock,so it is best to periodically empty the Cache and update manually)

It's great to have other members of MT as DeepArmor BETA-Testers..:) I hope that you are enjoying it.
I think that @_CyberGhosT_ has posted the only screenshots available of DeepArmor already.
Thank you for the Deep Instinct Link :)

Thank you for the screen.

How is it?

How do you find it for average users?
I would also like to know. its a new piece of software for me :)
It seems fine :)
Other than my having to allow Crystal Security initially,I have not had any other alerts from it at all.
With the Crystal Security detection I was given a "Block" or "Ignore" option (You can see the 2 buttons on the first screenshot)
The "Quarantine"/"Restore" did not come into play at all for this,so I am guessing that there is a distinction in DeepArmor's detection between a "Suspicious" or "Dangerous" file.
You can see the "Confidence Percentage" of DeepArmor's Block in the first screenshot too.

Since installation of DeepArmor I have updated various other Beta versions of software (Sandboxie,MBAE,VS),and installed "Snipaste"...I got my usual prompts from ZoneAlarm,Crystal Security,SpyShelter etc,yet DeepArmor remained silent throughout.

As you can see from the screenshots it is very minimalist in appearance.
There are no settings/options to configure at all.It is pretty much "Set and forget".
I imagine a scenario where this is installed on all PCs in an office.It would require very little interaction from individual users,and they would not have any settings to "tinker with".
So far I am happy with it.:)

Is DeepArmor running light?

How many processes?
It feels very light :)

A little more Information-

The initial download is a zipped file:
snipaste20161114_195027.jpg


My Firewall Indicates the presence of the following:
  • DeepArmor Cognitive Anti-Malware Client [Temp File in App Data]
  • Sparkcognition DeepArmor [502Kb File in Program Files]
  • Strings.exe [811Kb File in Program Files]
The Memory usage varies of course,and I generally do not look at the figures unless something "Feels" wrong.
Since you asked,I monitored it for a few hours and captured some Images.
The below 3 memory usage Images show the variation between the lowest and highest that I saw while monitoring it...

Its light & installer size, program files, etc is light too i.e small size.

Hope stable build is not very far And protection will be good & easy to use i.e not much hassles.

Thank You for the details & info.
