New Update VoodooShield CyberLock 7.0

[ng4ever]

The new version of Voodooshield now CyberLock is awesome!

Though in general it is awesome. Loads really quick even after a shutdown and bootup. Plus even a restart. One of the first programs already loaded!

Only thing I found is some programs it does not like but this is when in autopilot so understandable. Like 7zip, Enpass (when enabling Wifi Sync server), AdGuard (during install), Media Player Classic, etc but it is ok. I reported them all as false positives.

Stupid question why does CyberLock have the options to disable itself when away from keyboard after 10 minutes? What is this even for and why it is enabled by default? Would you not want this ?


Emby also sets off a lot of false positives

More than any other program but understandable mostly.

Same here. Shield #1 is the clear winner.

@Max90, why not try the word 'cyber' inside the shield?

you have to ask the design AI, I just played with it for 5 minutes

Come to think of it. @danb would not it be fun for an 'AI assisted cyberlock' program that another AI program (design AI) made its logo?

@Digmor Crusher and Oldschool: on seconds thoughts I agree with you that the font of the second (AI-generated) example, matches a security program better (robust font type for solid protection). Because Cyberlock. Pro is a security program which smart mode toggles ON when you go online, I keep preferring the logo with the laptop in it (beter resembles flexibility and the digital protection purpose of the program). For the shape of the outside shield I think it would be better to use the current shield of VoodooShield as a tribute to its legacy/history.

Thank you guys for all of the suggestions. I am tied up for a little while, but I hope to respond soon!

Real quick, I was curious if you guys liked this logo. We would have to figure out how to implement the red unlocked vs the blue locked logos.

Maybe we could have a blue logo where the lock shackle is attached to the body, and a red logo where the shackle and body are not attached (like it actually is in this logo sample), instead of the shackle swinging to to left (if that makes any sense).

Anyway, I wanted to post this so you guys could brainstorm. thank you guys, talk to you soon!

Can you make a contest, the person who design the best logo get 1 lifetime license.

Interesting.

I like that logo Dan, I also like the idea of red and blue icons and prefer that the shackle swing, easier to determine if its locked or not.

agree +1, if I follow the "shackle swing" mullvad uses a lock icon in systray both red or green clearly locked (connected) or unlocked.

This one works for me .

Number 2 with shield of no. 1 for me.

Good call. Same.

@danb Maybe consider an option to increase the space of what wants to be executed when it's a longer command line (at the CL popup). It's one thing to not understand what tried to run (other than it has something to do with compatibility) but not being able to read it in a good way doesn't help

Hi all

Voodooshield Cyberlock 7.44 is out now

Sounds great, thank you! 7.44 just had a couple of very minor fixes.

Hey TH! Thank you for checking in! Yeah, there were just very minor updates in 7.44, so I was going to wait until 7.45 to activate the auto update for 7.45.

I try not to push auto updates unless there is a really important fix, or if it has been a while since the last update. The reason is because some companies have a lot of endpoints they need to update

Despite using VS aka CyberLock since 2011, I forget some-things because my VS just always works... Is there an explanation of security posture anywhere ie difference between aggressive, moderate, relaxed & silent? I normally use default aggressive, but I need to get a better understanding of posture. thanks. (PS I looked on VS website and I did not find anything...) (PS2 the help file is where?) (my brain has been overloaded lately...)

@simmerskool Click the blue thing with the i inside. One "i" explains the "modes" the other one the "postures".

Edit:
@danb
Suggestion: It'a not the first time users ask for explanations about the modes/posteres here. Maybe you could change the "blue things with the i? inside" into two buttons. "Info about modes" and "Info about postures" or something like that. I would press a button but the "blue things" look a bit like eye candy and not a button if you don't know what they are.

Wow I am rusty, that shows how often I ever change settings... Thanks!!
EDIT (no offense intended to Dan) -- 1st paragraph, "lowering the posture...will reduce the frequency of unnecessary blocks" The meaning of that is not necessarily clear What's an "unnecessary block" & if unnecessary why should there be any unnecessary blocks? Just thinkin' outloud... but reading the entire page, I think I get it. I have always run Aggressive (Deny-by-Default /Zero-Trust) as I understood that's VS's raison d'etre.

 

[ForgottenSeer 97327]

@simmerskool The nice thing about Dan is that he is more a techie than a marketeer, "the new and improved cyber lock, now without unnecessary blocks"

The "Watchdog Violation" BSOD occurred when I attempted to use CyberLock on Windows 11. I booted into Windows after a couple of tries. The solution to the BSOD problem was to uninstall CyberLock.

Yeah, good point, let me see what I can do, thank you!

I can look at that too, thank you.
