The beta is now ready for anyone who is interested. Please email us at
appguard@blueridge.com and we will send you a link and a license (though you can upgrade your previous version and use your existing license if you want). Please include your Wilders Identity.
New in this release:
Locked down is no longer on the main GUI (can still get to it from the tray menu) and Medium is changed to “Protected” .
Enhanced Alerts: The ability to display Toasters and Popups are added for all blocking events. Toasters are those little messages that popup periodically in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. Check boxes for these options appear on the Alerts tab. Please let us know your thoughts on these. Are they a nuisance? Since the defaults are still set to be similar to the current ones (where only blocked launches and access to the private folders are reported), they shouldn't be any more annoying than now, but let us know. Experiment with these also. I've turned the toasters on for all events and I find it interesting, but novice users may be alarmed and request support. If you know how AppGuard works, then it may interest you, but if you don't it might be alarming.
The “AppGuard Stopped <xx> suspicious activities” toaster will now appear approximately every 3 hours. Is this too annoying?
Minimize buttons were added for the main GUI and the AppGuard Activity Report.
The AppGuard Activity Report can how be resized horizontally (i.e. made wider).
New Driver for Windows 8 and above only. If you are on Windows 10, if you can test opening Office documents that are Outlook attachments that would be appreciated. Also test calendar operations in Outlook

A bug was fixed where some blocked launches (out of System32 and Syswow64 directories) were not being reported properly. BTW, this bug was reported by Cutting_Edgetech (Thanks again).
Thanks in advance!
