Good to hear. Out of curiosity, as a CyberLock user, does it make sense to run CL and DefenderUI together or does CL cover all the bases? Great products, whatever the case :D
Thank you, I appreciate that! If you are running Microsoft Defender, then it makes sense to install DefenderUI Free. If you are running CyberLock, you cannot install DefenderUI Pro, since it includes a streamlined / Lite version of CyberLock.

Thanks, I understand that and the combination works great together and with a different setup CL runs fine with CD / FWH :D

@danb I suppose my follow up question is, will both standard DefenderUI and DefenderUIPro be paid products in the future or one free and the other paid? Sorry it off topic.
DefenderUI Free will remain free for probably forever. DefenderUI Pro will be paid at some point, but it is going to be at least several months, possibly longer. And it is going to be even cheaper than CyberLock.

Hey guys, here is a beta version of DefenderUI Pro. There were tons of changes and optimizations (both usability and efficacy), but it should be perfectly stable. Shadowra's video helped me discover a bug, and now it will block certain items even sooner, while still not blocking items it should not be blocking, so thank you Shadowra!

fwiw, I realized that I had a windows_VM running Defender & DUI standard (VS/CL not installed) so I uninstalled DUI & installed DUI_Pro 1.31 beta. Seems great so far. :D

Thanks for the great test :) I understand that the CyberLock recommended here is a paid product. Is there a free analog? And I would also ask Shadowra to tell me whether the free and paid versions of DefenderUI are really very different for protecting a home PC?

If you have to pay for both CyberLock and DefenderUI Pro, so why not just buy product like ESET or Bitdefender right away.

Cyberlock only has a paid version.

DefenderUI Pro is free for now and one way to describe the difference is that the Pro version is like a Cyberlock light with more protections then the free version, theres a whole thread on it if you want more details.
