As changes to the OS could be unwanted and/or “wanted”, or allowed by a user to happen, exclusion lists are key. There you can see current volume status of drives, initiate the shadow mode, configure cache, set up a schedule for modes. This includes current status (Shadow or Normal mode), capacity, used/free space, space used by SD, the exclusion list, cache (total and used). First is System Status which displays information about the disk of choice (use the drop-down to select). There is no ability to change the program window size.Let’s review tabs one by one. The interface contains left sidebar (set of tabs): System status, More settings, File exclusion list, Registry exclusion list, Commit Now, Administration, About. You can see the status of the app in the taskbar - icon color yellow means “inactive” and blue is the opposite. System requirements are pretty low: 1 GB RAM, 10 Mb hard drive space, 1 GB or more for each partition in “shadow mode”, and of course Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10. It’s a fast and small app, with a free version, which is actually a 30 days trial. In effect, this utility is used against malware and viruses. It’s not the first program of this kind, it is an alternative to Shadow User, which was discontinued a few years back. Shadow Defender is only for Windows, making a full copy of OS (more precisely, the drive selected). This means it allows to launch programs, make changes, delete files… and in case something bad happens, you’d just reboot, roll back changes and nothing will be affected. In what way, you rightfully ask? It creates a virtual environment to protect a real environment.
This is a prime reason for the vertical layering approach in RSS and a priority for us to slam the door shut on this type of malware as quickly as possible once it is discovered in the wild.Shadow Defender, as the name suggests, is a program designed to defend user’s PC or laptop. There are a small, but rare number of malware families that can circumvent virtualization (any software based virtualization) so we welcome your feedback and samples (if still available) for deeper analysis and update of the black lists.
I've had the same experience with Returnil System Safe 2011, so if anyone's looking for an alternative to Shadow Defender for malware testing Returnil's not the answer.Īpologies for not noticing this post last month, but could you open a support ticket (support tech returnil com) and provide a more detailed report of the incident? In the report, please let us know whether the malicious content went undetected (Virus Guard) or unblocked (Virtual Mode > Settings > Additional Protection Options) while in Virtual Mode.
