Here is a new v1.4 (pre-release) test51:
http://downloads.novirusthanks.org/files/osarmor_setup_1.4_test51.exe

*** Please do not share the download link, we will delete it when we'll release the official v1.4 ***

So far this is what's new compared to the previous pre-release:

+ Improved detection of WannaCry ransomware

To install it, first uninstall the previous build, then reboot (not really needed but may help), and install the new build.

If you find any false positive please let me know.

Just a quick update.

NVTOA it does a excelent work on my windows 7. thank you for free software product. I just ask you please enlarge the configurator box to be expandable so that don't depend on the scrollbar and the mouse wheel inside that little configurator box, because it is very uncomfortable to work a huge list in a small box .. This program does not is for small screen of smarthpone, most of us have screens with 1920x1080 and upper.

I think it's not really a FP: when using @Andy Ful 's Configure Defender the powershell commands gets blocked:
Code:

I have a feature suggestion. It would be nice to have an option to block (unauthorized) access to camera and microphone. Most of the time these devices are not in use by regular programs and applications should not have access without the user knowing about it. This could prevent spying on user through webcam and microphone.

Keep up the good work, awesome software.

... I'm sure this is well-intentioned, but I'm not a supporter of feature "bloat" which strays from OSA's core of threat protection.

I am also not a supporter of feature bloat but i think this would be a nice addition. I disagree that this strays away from osa core as this is about protecting camera and microphone threat.

Here is a new v1.4 (pre-release) test56:
http://downloads.novirusthanks.org/files/osarmor_setup_1.4_test56.exe

*** Please do not share the download link, we will delete it when we'll release the official v1.4 ***

So far this is what's new compared to the previous pre-release:

+ Improved showing of main GUI via tray icon -> Show/Hide Window
+ Improved Block suspicious Svchost.exe process behaviors
+ Fixed some false positives

To install it, first uninstall the previous build, then reboot (not really needed but may help), and install the new build.

If you find any false positive or issue please let me know.

@Carphedon

Will discuss about it, in case we can create a specific program for that.

@128BPM

Fixed all FPs, except:

Date/Time: 10/04/2018 08:07:11 p.m.
Process: [5100]C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe
Process MD5 Hash: 007665F8DE4B18F82CEC63313F8ADCD2

Command Line: "C:\Windows\system32\mmc.exe" C:\Windows\system32\devmgmt.msc
Signer:
Parent Signer:
User/Domain: PC/PC

Parent Integrity Level: Medium

That is normal behavior, you may uncheck:

Block execution of .msc scripts

And instead check this:

Block execution of .msc scripts outside System folder

Note: Could you add an option to reset the log?

Sure, added in the todo list.

Uploaded a new video, used OSArmor 1.4 (pre-release) build 56 with default settings:




Andreas,

I used to add a rules that that Word as a parent process was not allowed to start other programs (except print spool and touch screen keyboard processes). I see that the video blocks launching word processes from user space. Two questions:

1. Is starting other programs covered by the anti-exploit option of Word?
2. Do you have made allow exceptions for print spool and touch keyboard?


I am asking because for wscript.exe you have:
- "Block any process executed from wscript" (in Main Protections) AND
- "Protect Windows Script" (Microsoft processes secrion of Anti-Exploit)

So I thought Exploit protection only blocks execution from user space.

Thx

Regards Kees
