How to prevent Sony DRM like threats.
In default mode, all files created by unisloated applications are trusted. If you start a rootkit from CD (Sony DRM) it will not be tracked in default mode. However, you may configure CD/DVD as a source of untrusted files. This means everything you start from CD/DVD will be automatically isolated and will not infect your system, e.g. Sony DRM Rootkit will not be installed or started.
To configure CD/DVD as a source of untrusted files follow this steps:
- Open GeSWall Console and click on 'Resouces' folder.
- Click right mouse button and select 'New\Add Resource..'
- In the dialog:
- Set 'Security Class' to 'Threat Gates'
- Set 'Resource Type' to 'File'
- Set Identity by 'Name'
- Type \Device\CdRom in 'Resource' edit box.
- Press OK button
Now if you start an application from CD or DVD it must be isolated.
How to disable pop-up dialogs.
GeSWall Pesronal Edition pops up dialogs suggesting to isolate applications that pose security threat. You can disable them on per-application basis by setting 'Do not ask again' check box. Or use more secure option by switching to "Auto-Isolation" security level. Follow the steps below:
- Open GeSWall Console and click on root 'GeSWall' folder
- In right pane click on 'Auto-isolation, no pop-up dialogs' button
Now GeSWall will automatically isolate applications without pop-up dialogs.
Whenever you need to perform some trusted operation (e.g. installation of ActiveX control) you may restart an isolated
application as non-isolated by caption context menu - letter 'G' button.
Restart is required because an isolated application can not be merely switched to non-isolated state without security breach.
