A FW Complement
« on: Oct 27th, 2003, 3:13pm »		 Quote Quote  Modify Modify
 Hello  ,
 
 
   System Safety Monitor 1.9.3 (Beta 2) is  a  nice  complement  
 
   to use with  your  FW  if you want to have a stronger control
 
   on  the programs installed in  your  machine .
   
   Its developer  resumes  his program :
 
 
   " System Safety Monitor (SSM) is an application-firewalling tool (it is not a "firewall" in traditional understanding, so there shouldn't be any conflicts with your network firewalls). SSM controls which programs are running on your computer and what they are doing. For example, SSM can prevent so called "DLL Injection". Also, SSM will notify you whenever a program you want to start was modified. In addition, SSM can constantly check your registry and alert you, when an important modification was made.
 
Features  
 
Allows you to control which programs and applications can be opened on your computer. Alerts you whenever a program, you want to run was modified.  
Allows you to control calls to some OS functions which is used in "DLL Injection" and Keystroke logging utilities.  
Prevents unauthorized code-injection activity, so no application will be allowed to use another legitimate one for malicious activity.  
Allows you to control which programs are allowed to start other, and wich cannot be started by others. For example, you may allow your browser to be started only by Explorer.exe but not by any other untrusted application.  
Offers a choice of two modes - User and Administrator. In Administrator mode you can set your preferences to control programs. Access to this mode can be protected with an encrypted password to prevent anyone changing your settings. In User mode no changes can be made to your settings.  
Supervises changes to important registry keys when installing new programs.  
Will block or alert on any attempt to change guarded registry keys.  
Allows you to control which programs run at system startup.  
Maintains a list of running applications and allows you to terminate any application immediately.  
Allows you to block specific windows (including websites) from opening.  
Can be set to run automatically on system startup. "
 
    You  can download  SSM  here  :

  P.S. : I don't  use it regularly - don't need it , in  my  case - but  I've tested  it several times with
   
  ZA PLUS  and  LOOKnSTOP  without  any  issues.
 
   Regards  ,

  First  ,  Claire ,we all know that  you  are  an  undercover power user  ( and  an  exposed original gangster ) .
 
  Even  if  you  were  indeed a  newbie  , just  read  the HELP File * and  use the  default  settings  . It  is    really   an interesting  app and very  informative  about  the  behaviour of what is inside your machine .
  Before  you  ask , also  has a nice  uninstaller .
 
   Waiting  for your  posts about  SSM's experiences ,
 
          mozar
 
  *  The  last time I tested SSM , before this current beta version , it had a separated download link to the updated HELP chm .

 I know  that  in  Swedish  it is  an   working  app , an almost released version  Wink.
   
 
  BTW , vampirefo did contribute , if I'm not wrong , with the development of SSM for a long time - his name is even included in SSM's  documentation .And  everytime I tried SSM it was absolutely stable .

How does this differ from Start-Up Monitor?

 Jamming  , I have to say that I never used Start Up Monitor . But  for the app's description  above ( the developer's description )  you  can  have a pretty  good  idea  about  SSM's features .
 
  As  I  said  to  Claire , SSM  is  user very friendly  and  has a nice uninstaller , you'll not  regret  if  you try  it ( I used with ZA plus without problems ) .

  There  is  a  thread  at  DSL Security Forum comparing  
SSM  with a similar app called  " Abtrusion  Protector " ,
here  is  the  link  :
