Yeah, in a month or so when all of the other products are completely up to date, I will take another look at DataDefender. It has a cool concept, but I really need to implement a kernel mode driver to do it right.

Very cool, thank you for letting me know! From what I remember, Process Explorer and Autoruns are signed with the same certificate, which is a Microsoft certificate, but different from the catalog certificates that they use to sign most of the Windows files. So that would explain why the first one was blocked and the second one was auto allowed.Just installed VS 6.76 beta, default settings: Smart Mode (Aggressive). Here are just a few blocks for portable tools like O&O ShutUp10. Interesting was that 'Process Explorer' I had to allow manually, but instead latest version 'Autoruns' was allowed automatically. No problem anyway
Overall, VS 6.76 beta running smooth, no slow down on execution of any software auto-whitelisted by VS Snapshot

Same here. The difference is I have hardly any 3rd party apps.

@danb I just tried to install v 6.76 over the top and VS in Smart Mode did not alert to exit, simply killing the install.
Another question please. I have been running Windows Defender hardened with ConfigureDefender, Firewall Hardening & Simple Windows Hardening but is SWH necessary with the new VoodooShield? I noticed on the Hard_Configurator thread that user Digmore_Crusher asked whether SWH should be reset to Windows defaults before installing new VS and Andy Ful answered in the affirmative which would suggest that SWH protection isn't needed but it would be good to have confirmed from the VS side too given that you know exactly what the new engine delivers. Thanks

Restore SWH > M$ default. I suggest setting CD at default (@Andy Ful 's suggestion). I suggest enabling: Cloud protection @ Block, Cloud check time @ 50 or 60, ransomware and network protection. CFA optional.Another question please.

Or instead of using ConfigureDefender go Dan all the way and use DefenderUI Free at the recommended settings.
New Update - DefenderUI by VoodooShield - Turn on Hidden Security Features of Microsoft Defender
https://www.defenderui.com/ When Windows 11 was leaked, I was hoping we would see a usable Defender UI, but unfortunately it had not changed a bit. Defender is great under the hood but it is incredibly frustrating to use. It is also certainly not bulletproof and Redmond’s idea of zero trust...

DefenderUI
Before removing Andy's programs, I set them to their/windows default values and rebooted my laptop before installing Dan's programs.

^ Not a bad idea. Installed/running new VS & DefenderUI Free together after resetting CD & SWH to Windows defaults & rebooting. Left FH on for now. Still be interested to have definitive answer on whether SWH necessary if running VS.

Just installed VS. Out of the box, I get a pop-up for Thunderbird (agressive)

Yeah, that is probably because VS's self protection is disabled for the early beta versions, just in case something goes wrong. That way the user can kill VS with the task manager if things go wrong. I will enable it either the next version or the one after. Thank you!

I agree, it is not necessary, but it would not be a bad idea to have a "contingency app" during the first couple VS beta versionsAnother question please.

. I think we are in the clear, but there were massive changes to VS, so I just want to make sure everything is just right.They do play well together, so it certainly would not hurt to have both.

Do you mean Thunderbird portable? If so, that is why. If not, please let me know

That's what I am running now (VS Pro and DefenderUI Free). I am starting to figure out that disabling MD Real-time protection is not quite as handy as the DefenderUI Add Exclusion right click context menu optionOr instead of using ConfigureDefender go Dan all the way and use DefenderUI Free at the recommended settings.

. I downloaded Ransim to test (along with some other stuff), and it seems to be more effective and quicker to just add an exclusion because as we all know, even when MD is off, it still blocks some stuff .

. And what I mean by really cool bypass is ANY bypass when VS is ON, or any bypass slightly more malicious than spyware when VS is OFF or on AutoPilot .And btw, I believe VS 6.76 is stable enough to test... so it's ready when you are

There was a small bug in 6.75 that would explain this, what version are you running? I just tested in 6.76 and it is not blocking TB.
If you are running 6.76, maybe it is blocking an add-in / extension?
VS 6.76 beta

With the portable version of FireFox (beta) distributed on portableapps.com, a warning pops up every time you upgrade. VS recognizes it as a browser, so if you allow it, there is no problem with protection.

6.76. I didn't have cloud activated. Maybe that's it. I've had a few other pop-ups (Joplin and Bitwarden, and one portable app).
