8.0.4.3 Addendum – CryptoPrevent Policy Editor->HoneyPot Definitions Tab

8.0.4.3 Addendum – FolderWatch/HoneyPot Definitions

WARNING: These settings are designed and should be used for advanced users only or as directed by Foolish IT support staff. Misuse of these setting can severely impact the performance and ability of both FolderWatch and the HoneyPot Detection Protection features in CryptoPrevent. Use these options at your own risk and in most cases here less is more and being specific is safer!

WARNING: These settings are designed and should be used for advanced users only or as directed by Foolish IT support staff. Misuse of these setting can severely impact the performance and ability of both FolderWatch and the HoneyPot Detection Protection features in CryptoPrevent. Use these options at your own risk and in most cases here less is more and being specific is safer!

Whitelist Process from being Killed
- One entry per line
- This option applies to the Kill Apps Now button on the Apply Protection tab, the options available in the right click menu of the system tray, and to the ability of FolderWatch service killing tasks during a HoneyPot Detection activation
- Only the executable name with extension is needed and is not case sensitive (ex. c:\program files\InstalledProgram\InstalledProgram.exe would only need to have a line entry of “installedprogram.exe”)
- Notes:
  - It is not recommended to add any browser process name as these are the most common apps you want to be killed easily and most modern browsers save the sessions fairly well
  - Common programs you may want to add would be a word processor or other office productivity application or database applications, however since these can be used as points of attacks you may want to be very conservative in adding these too, increasing autosave features to shorter durations may be a better route
FolderWatch Whitelist Path
- One entry per line
- This option allows entire folders or specific files or files in locations to be ignored by FolderWatch
  - This can be useful if a file requires a file lock and will not share access with FolderWatch in folders monitored by FolderWatch
- Can use:
  - wildcard (*) for path variables
  - d7x variables (more information about variables here)
  - line entry ending with a trailing backslash so the entire folder is ignored
  - ex:
    - <ad>\programV18.*\ would have FolderWatch ignore the entire folder for a path where the version number changes in application data (roaming for vista+)
    - c:\installed program\programfilename.* would have FolderWatch ignore filenames matching with any extension
    - c:\installed program\programfileV*.exe would have FolderWatch ignore filenames with variable version numbers with matching extension
HoneyPot Whitelist Pattern
- One entry per line
- This can be used to allow files that might match a built-in blacklisted pattern, helpful when filenames in folders monitored by FolderWatch might be similar or the same as some ransomware variants
- Note each check for a whitelisted pattern adds time to the ability for checking against blacklisted patterns, meaning that ransomware could remain active and encrypt additional files prior to FolderWatch being able to detect and kill any active ransomware, it may be better to ignore specific files or types that match patterns using the FolderWatch Whitelist Path options
- Can use:
  - wildcard (*) for path variables
  - d7x variables (more information about variables here)
  - ex:
    - If a false positive is triggered with the *.crypto pattern, *.crypto can be added to a line to ignore future matches
    - <ad>\programV18.*\ would have HoneyPot detection ignore the entire folder for a path where the version number changes in application data (roaming for vista+)
    - c:\installed program\programfilename.* would have FolderWatch ignore filenames matching with any extension
HoneyPot Blacklist Pattern
- One entry per line
- This can be used to create your own encryption pattern matching options
- Can use:
  - wildcard (*) for path variables
  - d7x variables (more information about variables here)
  - ex:
    - <ad>\programV18.*\ would have HoneyPot Detection triggered if the folder has files created or changed where the version number changes in the folder in application data (roaming for vista+)
    - c:\installed program\programfilename.* would have HoneyPot Detection triggered if filenames matching with any extension in the specific folder
Custom HoneyPot Files
- One entry per line
- Allows you to:
  - create your own honeypot files named with or without default extensions
    - Syntax per line:
      - filename|filetype|extensionsdisabled
        
        the pipe (|) character must separate the three definitions per custom honeypot file created and all items need to be defined as mentioned or errors may occur or produce unexpected results
        
        filename=the custom file name you would like to be used (include extension if you are disabling the default extensions)
        
        filetype=Normal, Hidden, or System which will create the custom file as indicated
        
        extensionsdisabled=0 or 1, where 0 uses the default honeypot file extensions and removes any extension in the filename and 1 will not use the default honeypot file extensions and use the extension if defined in the filename above
  - enable or disable the default honeypot files creation
    - to disable the default honeypot files add a single line entry of:
      - nodefault
      - disabling default honeypot files and not adding custom files of your own will cause honeypot detection to operate on file/folder name pattern matching alone
    - to leave the default files created just do not add that line and the default files with various filenames will be created as system files as is the standard as well as any custom files you have defined

WARNING: These settings are designed and should be used for advanced users only or as directed by Foolish IT support staff. Misuse of these setting can severely impact the performance and ability of both FolderWatch and the HoneyPot Detection Protection features in CryptoPrevent. Use these options at your own risk and in most cases here less is more and being specific is safer!

CryptoPrevent White-Label Installation

CryptoPrevent White-Label Main Interface

CryptoPrevent White-Label Creator Load/Save Config Tab

Load/Save Config tab

The top portion of the tool’s interface shows the total number of remaining licenses associated with the product key previously entered.
- In the above example, 99 installations/licenses are available to assign to a particular configuration.
- Once installations/licenses are assigned to a particular configuration, they are reduced from your overall remaining installations.
- Installations/licenses may be retrieved from a configuration as long as they have not been deployed.
- Placing a smaller number of installs than originally specified or a zero in the Define Number of Installs for Configuration field will increase your overall remaining installations.
- The loss of a configuration with installations/licenses attached will result in the loss of those installations/licenses.
  - For this reason, we provide backup and restore buttons to safeguard your configurations. Please do not hesitate to frequently utilize those buttons.
The standard steps you would want to follow to create a configuration are the following:
1. Assuming you have more than 0 “Overall Remaining Installations:” available.
2. Enter a name for the configuration
  - this name is for your reference only
  - the client in most all circumstances will not see this configuration name
    - however it is stored in an ini file on their system so keep that in mind when naming configurations
3. Enter a positive number in the “Define Number of Installs for Configuration” box
  - this is the number of installs the created installer will be able to be used on
  - this number can be increased/decreased in the future as long as
    1. additional “Overall Remaining Installations” are available to increase the configuration’s remaining installs
    2. there are “Installs Remaining on Configuration” to decrease, which will be added back to the “Overall Remaining Installs”
  - once the number of remaining installs on the configuration are at 0
    - the created installer will not longer install the premium version with your defined settings on new systems
    - This installer can still be used to reinstall on systems currently consuming a license under this White-Label key
  - a 0 (“zero”) can be entered here to disable the created installer from installing additional installs
    - This installer can still be used to reinstall on systems currently consuming a license under this White-Label key
  - if you enter the same number as the “Installs Remaining on Configuration”, no licenses changes will be made
    - this is useful if you want to change the configuration and resubmit for a new installer that has different settings
4. Save/Update Current Configuration
5. Backup Configurations to Zip
  - save this backup in a secure location
  - it is password protected, you will be prompted to enter a password at time of backup creation
    - Foolish IT has no access to this password
    - if it is lost/forgotten, it is unlikely that it will be recoverable
  - you should only need to restore this backup if:
    - you uninstall the CryptoPrevent Creator-Configuration tool from the system
    - the system with your configurations suffers a failure and needs to be reloaded
Adjusting the “Installs Remaining on Configuration” can be done by ensuring the appropriate configuration is loaded and then following steps 3-5 above
You can load a saved configuration using the “Load a Previously Saved Configuration” button
- this will allow you to adjust the remaining installs
  - this will automatically apply to the currently created installer
- or change the settings on the configuration
  - this would require submitting the configuration again and having a new installer created
  - note this may incur a charge for additional installer creation
    - additional information on the Submit tab documentation

CryptoPrevent White-Label Creator Protections Tab

Protections tab

The Minimum plan includes:
- Software restriction policy path rules for the appdata folder, all folders beneath appdata, the “local” (as opposed to “roaming”) appdata folder, and the Recycle Bin.
- It also includes protections related to program naming, including blocking of double file extensions and exploits related to the direction of text interpretation.
  - Please follow the provided link for more information regarding the right-to-left override character:
    - https://www.google.com/search?q=right+to+left+override
    - https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/office_global_experience/2009/11/18/bidirectional-text-embedding-and-override
- View the client documentation for more information on the specific locations these locations include
The Default plan includes:
- Software restriction policy path rules for the programdata folder, the user profiles folders, and the start menu startup folders.
- Three additional Windows utilities are also potentially blocked under this plan, vssadmin.exe, syskey.exe, and cipher.exe.
  - Please note that these are legitimate tools that have been known to be co-opted by malicious software.
  - If you have no use of these tools and you do not use applications that rely upon them, you may safely enable those protections.
- The miscellaneous protections included in the Default plan will block some additional vectors for existing malware as well as the option to disable the use of legacy “Sidebar and Gadget” applications.
  - The Sidebar and Gadget” option is recommended by Microsoft due to known security implications of their usage:
    - https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2719662
- View the client documentation for more information on the specific locations these locations include
The Maximum plan includes:
- Software restriction policy path rules for the subfolders beneath localappdata and folders where files are temporarily extracted from archives, such as ZIP files
- The Block Windows Programs section will optionally prevent the use of the following Windows utilities: bcdedit.exe, wscript.exe, and cscript.exe.
- Disable Windows Script Host option
  - You may not want to enable this option because long login delays were reported when enabling this option in environments that utilize login scripts.
  - It should be safe to enable this option in a non-domain environment and when you do not rely upon the use of Windows scripts.
  - For more information, please review these sites:
    - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee198684.aspx
- View the client documentation for more information on the specific locations these locations include
The default selections (shown in the picture above) are the recommended “set and forget” options that should not cause issues with any legitimate applications
- these are the same protections as selecting the Default Protection plan in the CryptoPrevent client

CryptoPrevent White-Label Creator Filter Module Tab

CryptoPrevent White-Label Creator FolderWatch Tab

FolderWatch tab:

FolderWatch provides additional monitoring of a selection of common folders and, optionally, custom folders.
- Files flagged as potentially malicious will be quarantined in the folder specified here.
- It is important to note that subfolders are monitored in the case of the predefined user folders but not in the case of custom folders.
- It would be necessary to individually add subfolders to the custom list in order for them to be monitored.
- d7x Variables can be used in the Custom Locations to apply protections generically to various OS versions and 32/64 bit versions
  - note it should be defined one line per folder
The HoneyPot feature related to FolderWatch places numerous files around your PC to act as bait.
- When activity is detected against these files, the HoneyPot feature will do everything in its power to prevent any further system activity, including slowing the system and only allowing it to be rebooted or shutdown.
- When this feature is activated, the idea is that the system has been grievously compromised and your data is at risk from malicious activity.
- As such, it is a “last ditch” effort to preserve your data with the hopes that only our bait files will be compromised and not any legitimate data.
- Please use this feature with caution as there is the possibility of false positives due to the fact that any manipulation of the HoneyPot files will trigger our HoneyPot protections.
- If this feature is enabled it is highly recommended you enable the QuickAccess Tray Icon under the Installer tab as well
  - otherwise the end user will not be notified and the system will shutdown without warning when HoneyPot feature is activated
  - an event will still be written to the event log and and email alert (if enabled) will be sent out regardless of the QuickAccess Tray Icon being enabled
View the client documentation for more information on these protections
The default selections (shown in the picture above) are the recommended “set and forget” options that should not cause issues with any legitimate applications
- these are the same protections as selecting the Default Protection plan in the CryptoPrevent client

CryptoPrevent White-Label Creator Policies Tab

Policies tab:

Software Restriction Policy (SRP) Whitelist:
- The whitelist is a list of programs explicitly allowed via software restriction path rules.
- We provide a Whitelist EXEs already located in blocked locations upon install checkbox to simplify adding all existing items in blocked locations to the whitelist during client installation.
- You may predefine whitelist policies using the Define button.
  - d7x Variables can be used in the Custom Locations to apply protections generically to various OS versions and 32/64 bit versions
  - note it should be defined one line per folder
- Whitelist policies should be as specific as possible to avoid being overridden by a more specific blacklist entry.
  - This concern comes into play when using wildcards, so the use of wildcards should be avoided in whitelist rules if possible.
SRP Blacklist:
- The blacklist is a list of programs explicitly blocked via software restriction path rules.
- It is possible to use wildcards in blacklist policies.
- Feel free to add additional rules using the Define button to enhance protections for your specific environment.
  - d7x Variables can be used in the Custom Locations to apply protections generically to various OS versions and 32/64 bit versions
  - note it should be defined one line per folder
User Hash Definitions:
- Similar to the whitelist and blacklist software restriction policies, our hash definitions also utilize lists to either allow or block a specific hash definitions, respectively.
- Use the various Define buttons to allow or disallow a hash, for the whitelist or blacklist, respectively to either remove a false positive or enhance protections over the base definitions.
  - note it should be defined one line per folder
View the client documentation for more information on these protections
The default selections (shown in the picture above) are the recommended “set and forget” options that should not cause issues with any legitimate applications
- these are the same protections as selecting the Default Protection plan in the CryptoPrevent client

CryptoPrevent White-Label Creator Updates Tab

CryptoPrevent White-Label Creator Email Tab

CryptoPrevent White-Label Creator Branding/Installer Tab

Branding/Installer tab:

This tab contains various options relating to how the installer we provide functions.
You can force the protections to apply automatically and silently after install
- this will save a last step in the installation process where it would still be necessary to have the protections applied after installed
- There also option to force a reboot when protections have been silently applied
- however, it is necessary to specify the /verysilent command line parameter to have a completely silent installation without the need of any user interaction.
- Note: applying protections after install can take a long time depending on the system
  - you can check the task manager to verify when CryptoPrevent.exe
  - optionally you can check “Restart After Install” to ensure protections are set
    - by waiting for the system to reboot on its own after applying protections
Additional checkboxes are provided for options relating to automatically launching the tray app for notifications, creating additional shortcut icons, and automatic restart preferences.
Optional Installer Texts, offers further customization of the actual installer itself for branding purposes
- EULA-offer supplemental terms and conditions for installation
  - note the default CryptoPrevent EULA will always be included with the installer creation
- Info (Pre)
  - offers ability to add information the end user reads prior to installation
- Info (Post)
  - offers ability to add information the end user reads after the installation has completed
- You will want to have a txt document ready with the text you would like to add to any of these options
Branding Options
- provides the ability to add your own logo and icon to CryptoPrevent
  - the logo is used when protections are being applied
    - you can see an example of it’s usage with the “Test BMP Logo” after you have added a logo file
    - it is suggested you use a 24-bit BMP with dimensions of 280×190
  - the icon is used for shortcut icons, the upper left of the application and taskbar
Start Menu options
- Apply & Undo protection options are always added to the start menu unless you uncheck the “Start Menu Launch CP” option
- An additional option to open the main CryptoPrevent client interface to the start menu
- An additional web address can be added to the start menu location as well

3. Enter a positive number in the “Define Number of Installs for Configuration” box
  - this is the number of installs the created installer will be able to be used on
  - this number can be increased/decreased in the future as long as
    1. additional “Overall Remaining Installations” are available to increase the configuration’s remaining installs
    2. there are “Installs Remaining on Configuration” to decrease, which will be added back to the “Overall Remaining Installs”
  - once the number of remaining installs on the configuration are at 0
    - the created installer will not longer install the premium version with your defined settings on new systems
    - This installer can still be used to reinstall on systems currently consuming a license under this bulk key
  - a 0 (“zero”) can be entered here to disable the created installer from installing additional installs
    - This installer can still be used to reinstall on systems currently consuming a license under this bulk key
  - if you enter the same number as the “Installs Remaining on Configuration”, no licenses changes will be made
    - this is useful if you want to change the configuration and resubmit for a new installer that has different settings
4. Save/Update Current Configuration
5. Backup Configurations to Zip
  - save this backup in a secure location
  - it is password protected, you will be prompted to enter a password at time of backup creation
    - Foolish IT has no access to this password
    - if it is lost/forgotten, it is unlikely that it will be recoverable
  - you should only need to restore this backup if:
    - you uninstall the CryptoPrevent Creator-Configuration tool from the system
    - the system with your configurations suffers a failure and needs to be reloaded
Adjusting the “Installs Remaining on Configuration” can be done by ensuring the appropriate configuration is loaded and then following steps 3-5 above
You can load a saved configuration using the “Load a Previously Saved Configuration” button
- this will allow you to adjust the remaining installs
  - this will automatically apply to the currently created installer
- or change the settings on the configuration
  - this would require submitting the configuration again and having a new installer created
  - note this may incur a charge for additional installer creation

CryptoPrevent Bulk Creator Protections Tab

Protections tab

The Minimum plan includes:
- Software restriction policy path rules for the appdata folder, all folders beneath appdata, the “local” (as opposed to “roaming”) appdata folder, and the Recycle Bin.
- It also includes protections related to program naming, including blocking of double file extensions and exploits related to the direction of text interpretation.
  - Please follow the provided link for more information regarding the right-to-left override character:
    - https://www.google.com/search?q=right+to+left+override
    - https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/office_global_experience/2009/11/18/bidirectional-text-embedding-and-override
- View the client documentation for more information on the specific locations these locations include
The Default plan includes:
- Software restriction policy path rules for the programdata folder, the user profiles folders, and the start menu startup folders.
- Three additional Windows utilities are also potentially blocked under this plan, vssadmin.exe, syskey.exe, and cipher.exe.
  - Please note that these are legitimate tools that have been known to be co-opted by malicious software.
  - If you have no use of these tools and you do not use applications that rely upon them, you may safely enable those protections.
- The miscellaneous protections included in the Default plan will block some additional vectors for existing malware as well as the option to disable the use of legacy “Sidebar and Gadget” applications.
  - The Sidebar and Gadget” option is recommended by Microsoft due to known security implications of their usage:
    - https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2719662
- View the client documentation for more information on the specific locations these locations include
The Maximum plan includes:
- Software restriction policy path rules for the subfolders beneath localappdata and folders where files are temporarily extracted from archives, such as ZIP files
- The Block Windows Programs section will optionally prevent the use of the following Windows utilities: bcdedit.exe, wscript.exe, and cscript.exe.
- Disable Windows Script Host option
  - You may not want to enable this option because long login delays were reported when enabling this option in environments that utilize login scripts.
  - It should be safe to enable this option in a non-domain environment and when you do not rely upon the use of Windows scripts.
  - For more information, please review these sites:
    - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee198684.aspx
- View the client documentation for more information on the specific locations these locations include
The default selections (shown in the picture above) are the recommended “set and forget” options that should not cause issues with any legitimate applications
- these are the same protections as selecting the Default Protection plan in the CryptoPrevent client

CryptoPrevent Bulk Creator Filter Module Tab

CryptoPrevent Bulk Creator FolderWatch Tab

FolderWatch tab:

FolderWatch provides additional monitoring of a selection of common folders and, optionally, custom folders.
- Files flagged as potentially malicious will be quarantined in the folder specified here.
- It is important to note that subfolders are monitored in the case of the predefined user folders but not in the case of custom folders.
- It would be necessary to individually add subfolders to the custom list in order for them to be monitored.
- d7x Variables can be used in the Custom Locations to apply protections generically to various OS versions and 32/64 bit versions
  - note it should be defined one line per folder
The HoneyPot feature related to FolderWatch places numerous files around your PC to act as bait.
- When activity is detected against these files, the HoneyPot feature will do everything in its power to prevent any further system activity, including slowing the system and only allowing it to be rebooted or shutdown.
- When this feature is activated, the idea is that the system has been grievously compromised and your data is at risk from malicious activity.
- As such, it is a “last ditch” effort to preserve your data with the hopes that only our bait files will be compromised and not any legitimate data.
- Please use this feature with caution as there is the possibility of false positives due to the fact that any manipulation of the HoneyPot files will trigger our HoneyPot protections.
- If this feature is enabled it is highly recommended you enable the QuickAccess Tray Icon under the Installer tab as well
  - otherwise the end user will not be notified and the system will shutdown without warning when HoneyPot feature is activated
  - an event will still be written to the event log and and email alert (if enabled) will be sent out regardless of the QuickAccess Tray Icon being enabled
View the client documentation for more information on these protections
The default selections (shown in the picture above) are the recommended “set and forget” options that should not cause issues with any legitimate applications
- these are the same protections as selecting the Default Protection plan in the CryptoPrevent client

CryptoPrevent Bulk Creator Policies Tab

Policies tab:

Software Restriction Policy (SRP) Whitelist:
- The whitelist is a list of programs explicitly allowed via software restriction path rules.
- We provide a Whitelist EXEs already located in blocked locations upon install checkbox to simplify adding all existing items in blocked locations to the whitelist during client installation.
- You may predefine whitelist policies using the Define button.
  - d7x Variables can be used in the Custom Locations to apply protections generically to various OS versions and 32/64 bit versions
  - note it should be defined one line per folder
- Whitelist policies should be as specific as possible to avoid being overridden by a more specific blacklist entry.
  - This concern comes into play when using wildcards, so the use of wildcards should be avoided in whitelist rules if possible.
SRP Blacklist:
- The blacklist is a list of programs explicitly blocked via software restriction path rules.
- It is possible to use wildcards in blacklist policies.
- Feel free to add additional rules using the Define button to enhance protections for your specific environment.
  - d7x Variables can be used in the Custom Locations to apply protections generically to various OS versions and 32/64 bit versions
  - note it should be defined one line per folder
User Hash Definitions:
- Similar to the whitelist and blacklist software restriction policies, our hash definitions also utilize lists to either allow or block a specific hash definitions, respectively.
- Use the various Define buttons to allow or disallow a hash, for the whitelist or blacklist, respectively to either remove a false positive or enhance protections over the base definitions.
  - note it should be defined one line per folder
View the client documentation for more information on these protections
The default selections (shown in the picture above) are the recommended “set and forget” options that should not cause issues with any legitimate applications
- these are the same protections as selecting the Default Protection plan in the CryptoPrevent client

CryptoPrevent Client Apply Protections Tab

Apply Protection tab:

Protection plans are an easy way to apply sets of CryptoPrevent protections.
- Minimal plan
  - includes all protections available in the original release of CryptoPrevent for blocking CryptoLocker and similar ransomware.
  - These are a bare minimum level of protections and may not protect against more modern threats.
- Default plan
  - includes additional protections to prevent a wider range of threats.
  - More restrictive plans could impact software installations and this is the highest plan that should not interfere with that.
  - For this reason, we refer to it as the “set it and forget it” plan.
- Maximum plan
  - includes additional protections that will block even more threats.
  - Please use this plan with caution as it has the potential to interfere with:
  - software installations
  - certain backup application that rely upon the bcdedit.exe utility
- Extreme plan
  - enables every available protection feature, including those considered “beta”.
  - This plan has the potential to block legitimate software from running.
  - Please test in your environment with these settings to determine if they will negatively impact the use of your PC.
- Custom settings
  - when settings do not specifically follow a predefined protection plan.
  - A general guideline would be to start with the Default plan and check any additional protections that you are able to tolerate in your environment.
  - Testing should be performed whenever changing protection settings.
  - Testing involves applying the settings you wish to test, rebooting when prompted, and then trying out all your existing software for expected operation.
Enable Active Protections
- includes master check boxes for active protections beyond software restriction policies.
- Use Protection Plan Settings
  - checked means the two sub-items will follow selected plan recommendations
  - this box will automatically uncheck and the plan setting will be changed to custom if either of the two sub-items are changed
- FolderWatch (real-time)
  - FolderWatch is a new protection feature in CryptoPrevent v8
    - allows for specified folders to be monitored for items that match the loaded hash definitions list (including custom added ones available in the premium version)
    - allows for HoneyPot Detection (Premium Version feature) to protect the selected locations as well
    - see more details about these items under the Protection Settings tab individual descriptions in this documentation
  - checked means the protections and folders under Protection Settings tab->FolderWatch tab and Protection Settings tab->FolderWatch HoneyPot tab will be protected and enabled by the FolderWatch service
  - unchecked means this protection will be disabled and the selected locations/enabling HoneyPot Detection will be irrelevant
Kill Apps Now button
- CryptoPrevent includes certain features from Foolish IT’s next generation PC technician productivity tool, called d7x, which is currently in development.
- will close all running non-essential applications.
- Please be aware that using this option will not prompt you to save any work and will forcibly close running windows.
CryptoPrevent QuickAccess (Premium only feature)
- a notification icon that will appear in the system tray when enabled
- exposes CryptoPrevent functionality to the user without the need to open the entire user interface.
- will also pop up with notifications regarding CryptoPrevent activity.
- Note: this tray should be enabled when using FolderWatch HoneyPot Detection to alert the end-user when detection has occurred (otherwise the system will shutdown without warning)
Apply Protection Plan button
- Available on all tabs
- this button applies the currently selected plan and protections enabled under the Protection Settings tab
- Be sure to use this button when changing plans or after all individual settings have been customized as you want to have applied
Test Protection button
- currently tests only the protection location of %appdata% (which is enabled on all plans except None)
- indicates mainly if the Software Restrictions Policies have been enabled and have taken effect
- this will not test other locations, the filter module protections or FolderWatch protections

CryptoPrevent Subscription License

License Term: 1 year included. The license term is extended for 1 additional year beginning with each successful subscription renewal (billed automatically.)

Subscription Renewals: Renewals occur annually from the date of original purchase (note this is not necessarily the date you may have initially activated the software and licensing term.) Renewals are automatically charged at each annual billing cycle, unless the subscription is cancelled prior to the next billing date. Automated renewals are charged to the same payment method used during the original purchase, unless the payment method is modified prior to the next billing cycle (you will receive a link in your purchase email to modify your payment method on file as necessary, as well as a notification should the payment method expire prior to your next billing date.) You will be notified automatically by our billing system on or before the anniversary of your original purchase about the pending subscription renewal and charge. It is the responsibility of the subscriber to cancel any subscription prior to the billing date.

As a valued customer, your current rate will NOT be subject to any future pricing increase, so long as your automatically renewing subscription plan remains active!

Subscription Cancellations: You may cancel your subscription at any time to stop automatic billing (a link will be provided in the notification email received prior to any pending subscription renewal, or you may contact us for assistance as necessary.) It is the responsibility of the subscriber to cancel any undesired subscription renewal prior to the next billing date in order to avoid charges.

Please note that cancellation of your automatically renewing subscription will result in termination of user support as well as product and definition updates after the included term expires (which is 1 year from your last successful purchase/renewal charge.)

If your subscription is cancelled, you may purchase or resubscribe in the future, but you are NOT guaranteed the same or similar discounted subscription rate, as product prices may increase in the future to both new and existing customers not locked in to an automatically renewing subscription.

d7 Premium (Free License) Offer and Service Limitations

In addition to the standard Free Software Agreements, d7 Premium is subject to the following service limitations:

We’re sorry if you missed it, but our Christmas 2015 offer for a FREE copy of the original d7 Premium has finally expired as of October 27th, 2017.

This is the final version of the original d7 line (v10.4.35 released Jan 2014) and is provided “as-is” with no updates to be released for any reason (including but not limited to feature improvements or any functional issues)
There is no included product or other related support provided for these free licenses. Paid support may be provided on a case by case basis, but cannot be guaranteed due to certain technical limitations with the final version of d7
At no time will the “dCloud” service (for online configuration storage and the dCloudLauncher tiny remote deployment package) be included with or provided to these free licenses, as new server resources are dedicated to these capabilities for d7II subscribers.
- You may however, with this license, host your own FTP service for the functionality it provides with d7.
- If you’re interested in more, every d7II account includes cloud server access, but perhaps more exciting is our planned d7x administrative and server-side components!
All functionality will be unrestricted as-is, with some exceptions in behavior related to the “Registration Name” required for use with your unique product key, and provided in the email with your product key.
- The registration name is required to appear in the titlebar of any copy of d7 Premium, and normally it would uniquely identify an IT provider who owns the license, however in this case it is required to identify our website.
- This registration name may also appear in other areas of d7 Premium.
- Beyond the registration name limitations, you are free to ‘brand’ d7 Premium with your own company name (using the custom title bar/app name text) and any supported logos that you wish to use.
- Altering the name will invalidate the product key and license.

d7x Software Agreement and License Terms

d7x (d7II) is a Subscription Service

d7x (and d7II) software is licensed as a subscription service, with variable pricing based on the number of technicians using the product. The software subscription will automatically renew on a recurring billing cycle, to be determined by the chosen subscription term and the original pricing agreement for subscription term renewal; this means your original payment method will be charged on the anniversary date of the original purchase for the originally agreed upon rate.
Note that you will be required to agree to the terms of this purchase prior to payment, not only here at the merchant (Foolish IT LLC) website (foolishit.com) but also at the secure pop-up from our payment processor during checkout, and that they have the right to charge your account on a recurring basis according to the specific terms that you agreed to for the product you are purchasing. Older subscriptions using Paypal will have also agreed to their terms on their website, where payment is processed on our behalf. Paypal includes their own terms which state that you agree that Paypal has the right to charge your account on a recurring basis according to the specific terms that you agreed to both here and at their site during checkout.
Any subscription may be cancelled at any time without disruption in service for the remainder of your subscription term, however no refunds will be given for automatic renewals.
If you do not agree to the automatic recurring billing of a subscription license, you may opt for our d7x Fixed Term Licenses. Fixed term licensing allows you to ‘opt in’ for a renewal at every recurring billing cycle, in order to keep your license active. Fixed term licenses do NOT ‘lock in’ the annual licensing rate, which is subject to the current pricing agreement and terms for manual license renewal at the time your renewal is due.
Sales and promotional pricing for any subscription product will only apply to new customers in their first year of subscription service, unless otherwise specifically specified in the terms of the sale advertisement.

You may NOT distribute the software or disclose purchase details including any license or registration information to those outside of your employment, including contract companies or employees (even when presenting the original company’s ‘brand’ and logo to the customer. Anyone outside of your company’s direct employment must obtain a separate software license for usage in their own name.
You may NOT redistribute the registered version of this application to any 3rd party torrent/download sites, etc., however you may host the application on your own web space for the sole purpose of providing it for you and your employees usage only.
Any use of this software requires that the user agree to the terms and conditions as presented during the initial registration of the software, whether that user agreed to the terms or is acting on behalf of a user who agreed to the terms.
These terms come with no warranties or guarantees of any kind, and the user of this software shall bear sole responsibility for any resulting damages in the use or misuse of this software.

Does CryptoPrevent work on Server operating systems?

Yes it is compatible, just like a workstation OS. We would highly recommend installing it on a terminal server.

Otherwise it is actually pointless to install CryptoPrevent or other CryptoLocker prevention rules on a server OS, as it is usually company policy that employees do not check their email from the server, or browse the internet, etc. There is no other reason that malicious files would be executed from the server itself, if no one uses it as if it were a workstation. What then would be the purpose of installing the protection on the server?

The best way to protect a server from CryptoLocker is to protect the workstations. Even with CryptoPrevent installed on the server, if a workstation with a mapped drive gets infected, any data on an open network share is still compromised!

Does CryptoPrevent work with my existing Anti-Virus / Anti-Malware software?

Does my existing Anti-Virus software protect against this threat?

We cannot answer that. Your existing Anti-Virus protection is only as good as the latest definition files, and I can’t tell you which products on the market are confirmed to protect against this threat.

What I can tell you is that there is NO Anti-Virus software on the market today that provides the same type of protection that CryptoPrevent provides, it works in an entirely different manner.

Since the two can co-exist on the same PC peacefully, and CryptoPrevent’s protections do not utilize any system resources, why not utilize both methods of protection?

Will this protect against other malware?

You released a new version. Should I update, and how?

YES! You should periodically check for and update to the latest version using the program’s update function to stay current with the latest methodology in preventing current malware.

This process is entirely automatic for users with a purchased license (which includes automatic updating functionality) however the free edition available in older versions of the product can only update to CryptoPrevent v9.1, the last version in which the free edition was available.

After update it is then necessary to re-apply the protection to your system. It is not necessary to undo the previous protection in place before doing this, or even to uninstall the app before updating.

What happened to the free edition?
