Has anyone tried this yet? I can't get 3.410 to uninstall properly, it says it is still running. It can't be found in Add and Remove or Windows install clean-up. Just in Programs with an un-installer. Thanks

To uninstall process guard see this archived thread at Wilders... »www.wilderssecurity.com/showthre···?t=16931
The driver will not load in safe mode. Try the uninstaller in safe mode. Then check for the files mentioned in the Wilders thread.
I have downloaded 3.500 but not installed it yet. There is a small diference in the file size and the MD5 is different from 3.41. I could not find anything about changes.
I always liked this software and I still run the 3.41 free verstion. I run it for it's anti execute feature, however I am skeptical of new products from Diamond CS. If you get 3.500 installed post back with your experience. |

My advice would be to reinstall PG 3.410, disable all its protection and then unistall. With most of these type of security programs you should always shut down ALL its protection before you attempt to uninstall it. Good luck. |

Well thanks for the info, think I will leave it alone for now. Too much negative info on Diamond CS.
I am curious though on what changes there are from ver 3.41 to 3.50?

Probably none. You know Wayne did resurface briefly this spring at Wilders? It was so sad to see him give no explanation of his disappearance...other than a wild story about having been in an auto accident and in the hospital in a coma and when he was better even then he didn't, and no one else from DiamondCS did either, feel any need to contact Wilders staff about what had happened or put any notice on the DiamondCS site. He only posted a flurry of posts close together that one day and then when Wilders members began to doubt it was really him and question if it was Wayne why he STILL had not contacted Wilders staff to apologize or even explain...at that point he stopped posting and never came back to the thread.

The entire DiamondCS/Wayne story is a bit more complicated, however, fact remain that DiamondCS/Wayne made huge mistakes.
I tend to give DCS/PG 3.5 a final chance to provide themself again with the label reliable. There is no doubt DCS made great proggies, and we should be able to forget and forgive and to give DCS the possibilty of a fresh restart.

i had problems with all the versions of PG that came after build 3.15.. if i was going to use PG, that is the version that i would use..
not to mention, some tests showed that PG did not perform the way that it was supposed to.. it would not prevent "malware" from injecting itself into running processes, which was why i switched to SSM.. |

I know. PG is still a fine application but the last working version is 3.15. I had the betas and I told Wayne, in one of the last communications anyone had with him in October 2006, in a private message that the beta was unusable. He sent a revised beta to me. It was not much better. Then his message box filled up and I never heard from him again. I use 3.15 today. The real killer regarding PG is that while Gavin Coe posted in the fall of 2006 and stated he had PG working on Vista, it doesn't work on Vista and Microsoft warns strongly against trying it on Vista. From what I see at the new DiamondCS site this "new" version doesn't work on Vista either. I have read and seen reports about PG having the problems you mention. I tried SSM some time ago and it was so complex compared to PG that I gave up. I would try it again now except only the paid version MIGHT work on Vista. I wanted to use the free version until I was sure I could handle SSM with its (to me) unnecessary complexity before I bought it.
ProSecurity which was the most like PG is vaporware now. I would be thrilled if this "new" version of PG really is a new version and works on Vista.
Smokey Bear, if you know something about Wayne and the whole mess that the rest of us, including Wilders management, doesn't know then speak up please.

try enabling the no reading feature (desabled by default)to the running processes, then try a test to inject and u see it works

| Come on Smokeybear. Promises were made and not kept. People including myself paid for licenses, were promised life time support and now there is no members area to get anything.
To post and imply you know something, and then say you aren't going to tell, sure sounds like the kind of fluff we heard from Wayne.

Call it fluff, I don´t care. I call it common decent behavior.

Don't overplay your hand, Smokey Bear - you don't know anything apart from what's already in the open.

That tells me you are blowing smoke. You started this for game maneuvering or to make yourself look important. I understand confidentiality and I too keep it. I don't blow smoke about what happened with DiamondCS like you have though. The few times I have even slightly alluded to what happened and what I know in confidentiality, I have stated up front that I am bound by my word to not reveal what I know. You though titillated us deliberately. Either keep your mouth entirely shut or at least state up front that you know something that you are bound by your word to not reveal.
