Changelog from Wilders

Changes:
• The default definitions update time has been modified to be 1 hour for consumer.
• Modified the definitions updates process to download all available incrementals and
apply them as one package.
• Internet Connection Sharing mode added.
• Enhanced the ports rules tab to show different fields for the simple port rules versus the
advanced rules.
• Improved firewall event logging.
• Prevented users from deleting the default Web filter application exceptions.
• Logic was added to the Threat Engine and root kit driver to support 64-bit rootkit engine
registry scanning. This improves our ability to detect malware traces in the 64-bit specific
registry hives.
• Logic was added to the Threat Engine to support rootkit engine MBR cleaning.
• The Active Protection logic was enhanced to not quarantine infected files that could be
cleaned.
• A small memory leak in the tray was fixed.
• Improved upgrade notices when logged on as a limited user.
• The Scan tab now stays yellow after a scan only if further action is required by the user.
• Printers and monitors that have USB ports on them are now only scanned when
media/devices are inserted in them.
• USB scans now only scan the USB drive (on occasion, the entire C drive would get
scanned).
• A fix in the HIPS driver to eliminate BSODs if any driver hooks ZwLoaddriver or
ZwMapViewOfSection after HIPs. This was happening with the Zemana AntiLogger
program.
• The HIPS driver was fixed to handle hardware with the TPM chip on it. No more BSODs
with Embassy Trust Suites.
• The way AP processed archives was incorrectly changed in 4.0 causing AP to not catch
malware in archives. This logic was fixed to properly scan inside of archives.
• The firewall advertising stats were not showing how many ads were blocked. They have
been fixed.
• The capability to add Web filter exclusions by application (process) was added to VIPRE
Premium.
• A new pop up screen was added to allow users to add exceptions (web sites) to override
known bad URLs. The firewall was modified to use these new values to override the bad
URL check.
• Added the ability to include inbound and outbound email AV footers. Check boxes were
added to the consumer UI to allow the user to enable/disable these.
• Fixed a bug where AP did not detect infected files that were larger than 4k.
• Fix to allow MalwareBytes to update with advertisement blocking enabled.
• Boot time protection not working properly. Fixed in update 1.
• Rootkit scanning occasionally causing BSOD. Fixed.

It is very good security software. Generic detections are good too. I have used it for two months in VM and never found a single FP. VP100 RAP score is also good.

Thanks, Leo. I got a free copy when they first started up on Twitter. Gave it to a friend. Maybe that was a mistake?
