Shadow Mode, Malware and Tinkering - WARNING!

[Gruja]

Cryptors can re-encrypt any already encrypted files...

In other words, encrypting any file will not protect it from the likes of CryptoWall, TorrentLocker, Critoni, etc. If this were the case, then AV vendors would already be using encryption to protect systems.

Speaking of the system files I'm talking about files of various documents, photos means not personal files system otherwise would not be functional should be on your pc personal documents vidoeo, photos to be encrypt as viruses as Crylock searching for personal data and business documents ...

Dont know how the upcoming SD will work with Win 10 windows updates auto download/install?

If I remember correctly the user who contacted the Dev had mentioned about Win 10 windows autoupdates.

there is no problem , just go out shadow mode.

Okay! Yes! There is a difference! So let just talk files/folders.
Then this little software will take care this called Secure Folders.
And then lock the file completely! http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Security-Related/Secure-Folders.shtml

Read your post from # 34 to present post. Cover!

@Moose aren't you using Comodo ?

Salutations,Greeting!

@hjlbx

No! I am not using Comodo @ present!

But I am thinking about Trend Micro for six months.

Or, maybe Dr.Web Security Space 11 beta!

My concern is that it can stop Malware like the following:


And the size of the installer! Your thoughts! Also, feel free to P.M.

If the above will not work with sandboxie. I will remove the above completely!
I think that Kaspersky work well with sandboxie.


Kind regards,

Hello @Moose

Backup - however you do it - encrypted or not - is basic to recovering files; backup really isn't protection - just a means to recover system. So, skycrypt.com would work - and probably nicely - in this regard...

File Access\Permissions - is a form of protection and it is built-in to Windows. However, the soft you show above would probably work best for typical user. I have no experience with it. My only caution is that if a user Locks or Denies Access to certain folders\files, then they can break their system; at least a familiarity with which folders\files are critical to system operation is necessary.

Otherwise, it looks interesting to me... I was unaware it existed. So thank you @Moose...

It would make the most sense to use Secure Folders only if the option to protect folders is not available in the security soft currently being used. For example, some AVs allow user to protect folders\files against any modification - while allowing reads - or to lock them down completely. Although, maybe Secure Folders might be more user friendly or offer more features than the folder protection functionality built-in to some AVs. Like all softs, user has to evaluate to see if it works well for them on their specific system.

Backups are essential for other non-malware-related problems: file system corruption, hardware failure (bad RAM = scramble all your recently modified data), operator error, etc.

SD 1.2 worked fine on my Win10.

What do you suggest as far as cloud sync one? And why? From your insight?

Box has a limit on file sizes, so that's out.

Dropbox doesn't have a lot of (free) space either, so I don't know if it does versioning. I do use it for an "incoming" box, screenshot auto-upload, and some apps use it (YNAB, Titanium Backup), so I want that space available for those applications.

OneDrive only does versioning for Office files (Microsoft really needs to quit playing catch-up and commit to leadership already...it's really hard to take them seriously anymore and if it weren't for DirectX, I would have no use for Microsoft products.). cf. https://onedrive.live.com/?invref=05360c2ca9778beb&invsrc=90

Google Drive does it. cf. https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2409045?hl=en

I like Copy.com the best as I've used it for a couple of years, it's reliable, it works on LAN, and I've used versioning to recover files and the UI was intuitive. I keep all of "My Documents" on it. hehe try it and we both get more space: https://copy.com?r=AUupvU

These all work on Windows and Android.

Lovely piece of software, think of buying a lifetime licence after those 30 days. Working like a charm Not only for testing malware, but for testing off / using unknown software (with mostly some PUP/PUA on-board - like FreeYoutubetoMp3-downloader) and having no regrets afterwards

Is this working for you > http://www.shadowdefenderforum.com/
