File Exclusions in Shadow Defender

Hi all,

I've recently been trying Returnil 2011 Lite which I'm enjoying, except for the fact that it cannot exclude registry keys.

Can Shadow Defender exclude files, folders and registry keys?

Hi Stephen2, welcome to the forums!

As far as I know, Shadow Defender can only exclude files and folders. patrick or noorismail will confirm this though.

Disappointing... There doesn't seem to be a product of this category that can:

1) Protect against all (most) of the current malwares

2) Continue in this "virtualized" mode permanently, while allowing permanent exclusion of files/folders AND registry keys

Returnil Lite 2011 is close, but doesn't do registry keys - so my SuRun settings (which store in the HKLM\SECURITY hive) can't be saved across reboot - without entering a "save changes" mode, which is a terrible solution.

Yes you are correct ssj100, Shadow Defender can only exclude files and folders

if you want to exclude registry keys too,

u can try CLEAN SLATE 6.5

Stephen, there is a way to exclude registry keys as per this thread initiated on the sd forum by eskro; http://www.shadowdefender.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=154

needs a little work but is rewarding in the end.

Thanks Rico - very interesting - I'll give SD a crack!

I'm sorry, I'd forgotten about eskro's post on on Shadow Defender forum.

Can't export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY keys...
