MCShield Anti-Malware v3.0

RE: MCShield

There is option in Control Center called Allow MCS Cloud Functions.

If the option is enabled, the program will contact our server every time you open the Stats tab in the Control Center and
do the following:
- receive the number of installations and treated items (and display the statistics)
- send the number of items treated on your computer (just the number, nothing else!)
- send a file containing MD5 hashes of files that were detected as suspicious during the previous scans (the file
contains only MD5 hashes, nothing else; note: no other file will ever be send to us!)

RE: MCShield

TwinHeadedEagle: I've just made an alternative way to operate Control Panel.

1)

When clicking the icon on the taskbar, nothing appeared then right click for "control panel" still nothing appear but other options are working.

2)

Working in a way when pinned up then appeared the interface itself.

I think isn't a major issue for that, running at Windows 8.

RE: MCShield

Thank you, I'll investigate this issue and send it to the devs

 

[Ink]

I booted up and loaded the MCShield Control Center (from Start Screen). Not sure what this error means, I don't have any other drivers connected except 2 network drives.

OS: Windows 8 64-bit

@jamescv7

I installed Windows 8 x64, but don't have such problem, MCShield works normally...right click opens Control center. Probably I haven't understand your point. Do you still have any issue?

@Earth

That error is probably because, drive is spotted by MCShield, MCShield tries to scan it, but in the meantime drive isn't accessible...

Do you still have this error?

 

[jamescv7]

TwinHeadedEagle: That's opposite for mine, right click control panel then no appearance.

But when a pinned taskbar included and click, the control panel opened.

Maybe reinstall? But that's not an issue caused overall still a great piece of tiny software. :bravo:

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Try to reinstall, don't know what could be the problem...no one else reported such problem, that's probably something caused by your system...

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

You will probably experience massive FP today, because a lot of vendors (including Avast, Emisoft, F-Secure, Bitdefender and some unknown) blocking MCShield. Don't know what is the problem, currently investigating...

 

[jamescv7]

I think MBAM experience a massive FP like yesterday but managed to fix immediately.

Thanks

That's the example why is MCShield better in removing removable drives infections than any Antivirus

fix this as soon as possible i just love this program

We're working on it...

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Can you just tell me which component is detected by Kaspersky, I suppose it is MCShieldDS.exe

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Kaspersky should be fixed now, majority of other vendors too...


EDIT: This issue with FP's will have to be fixed in one of next releases...

To make your software to be even more attractive, appealing - would be nice to expand its field of action to the system partition.
I realize that this would result in more work for the development, but in the end this product is worth your time, to gain advantage of the public ..
- simply present the check box for .. those who want to check, they will check ..

I didn't understand you fully? HDD's are covered, do you mean removing active malware infection?

 

[Prorootect]

I'm talking about primary computer HDD with the Windows system, often called the C drive.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

And what about primary hdd?

 

[Prorootect]

And what about primary hdd?

- Is MCShield work also in system partition, or not, please?

If not, is it might be desirable for MCShield also makes the scanning of all files on that partition (C:\), not only in removable / USB drives, please ..

But if this bother you too much, do not take into account my question or suggestion, sorry ..

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Yes MCShield scans every partition, including system partition, but only ROOT, not every file...
