[AdGuard for Windows] Beta version 6.0.67.364

[mysteriously]

I left FF opened on polish website with shoutbox and with few short videos to buffer and left PC locked. When I came back, no new shoutbox messages appeared even after pressing refresh button (there were some new messages for sure). Then I tried to load some webpages, those simply could not load - firefox loading circle was spinning infinitely. In the meantime I also tried to update Adguard filters (for some reason filters do not update automatically for me with the latest beta), then noticed that Adguard service froze up and crashed. Message about service error appeared, however the one about restoring service did not. I had to reboot the PC anyway, because Adguard service cpu usage was jumping up to 50% - full one core usage

If there are compatibillty issue with ESET why you do not talk with them or work with them to fix this problems

also as I said I got Eset Smart Security last version and Malwarebytes Anti Malware pro with real time scanning last version also

from what you know is any more that I need to do or consider or I should just wait till you will fix this bugs

We will, that's why that bug on github is still open.

Try disabling Firewall in ESS for now.

Speaking of compatibility 'issues', Agnitum has released v9.2 of their security suite and while their beta would install without complaints if AdGuard was installed, the release version complains & refuses to install if it detects AdGuard on the system.

Someone from the AdGuard team may wish to get with the Agnitum guys & find out why they think there's a problem as I'm running them in tandem with no issues. I've also sent this note to Agnitum as well.

Blacklist only? What for ad blocking? Was it working with these browsers?

Logs are not enough, we need process dump to check what's going on.

You can make it with Task Manager, right-click on the service process and look for "Create Dump File" option there.

In Open dialogue of Add application to the filtered apps, it should be possible to add several exe files at once if they are in the same folder.

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/291

Also if that mentioned exe file is already in filtered apps list, there should be an information about it and asking the user if he wants to add a different exe.

To be honest I have not tested this module (yet). Quick look on the case confirms the issue. Maybe the Sandboxie just need a template to have read access to parental control database.
I will look into this... maybe this evening and update threads if find something worth posting.

Parental control blocking info shows up in english

Ok, no problem. I guess you want the dump to be created as soon as service crashes.

That's the same bug as with "access denied" page.

Ok, no problem. I guess you want the dump to be created as soon as service crashes.

No, when it's in "frozen" state or consuming too much CPU. We'll see what program does at that moment.

Blacklist only? What for ad blocking? Was it working with these browsers?

Ad blocking works fine for me with sandboxed browsers. I browse the web running web browsers inside sandbox pretty much all the time.

No, when it's in "frozen" state or consuming too much CPU. We'll see what program does at that moment.

Ok, so frozen state. Even after automatic restoring protection the service still consumed too much CPU.

So ad blocking is good, parental control is not? Or everything is good?

Possible shortly after restart, while it's in process of preparing everything.

Just a heads up for the needed feature "Search and replace" to block VAST video ads.

Sadly had to reinstall FireFox's certificate again
Also reinstall certificate button should not disconnect connections for applications which are disabled to filter like uTorrent in my case.

Yes, ad blocking works fine. Parental control does not work at all.

Hello,
Thanks for the new version.
I am the blind person, and testing the program accessibility and how its working with screen readers.
We have a good progress with this v 6.0, except one thing.
On first setup screen, and later on settings, checkboxes are not checkable with space key as is usual in 99.9999% of Windows programs.
For example screen reader says:
"Enable ad blocker check box not checked".
When I press space, it Checked.
Now, screen readers says:
Enable ad blocker check box not checked button.
I think that this kind of button near checkbox conflicting, and space key wont check or uncheck the box.
Finally, my another question regarding tranlation.
I am translator, but I dont seeing AdGuard for Windows on available projects.
What should I do?

 

[mysteriously]

If you disable internet connection and try to update filters manually, an error will show up. However 'Filters has been updated 1 minute ago' in main window will show up anyway.

 

[hanschke]

sys tray Icon is missing and I cannot start the gui. Anyone the same problem after the update under win 10 and insider build? Setup told me that adguard is already installed

Sadly the support form doesn't inform the user he/she reached limit of the message.

EDIT: My test message #WHJ-763-69579 included html code, but it is not in the actual ticket.

Yes this has happened to me updating in win 10
Tried everything but no success
Been told to do a manual uninstall
I like I tried that and they did not work too

 

[Yuuka Kazami]

Yes, ad blocking is good. Parental control is not.
I test that blacklist, safe search, and block executable files download do not work.
I don't know how to test whitelist, but I think the parental control is totally not work in sandboxie.

I remember

Also reinstall certificate button should not disconnect connections for applications which are disabled to filter like uTorrent in my case.

For now that's not possible, all active connections are killed on network filtering restart.

This is temporary tutorial version, soon we'll have whole new tutorial window and it should be working there.

I've created an issue on the github just in case:

Finally, my another question regarding tranlation.
I am translator, but I dont seeing AdGuard for Windows on available projects.
What should I do?

I've alerted vasiliy_bagirov about it, he'll grant you the role so you can see AG for Windows project in translation management system.

We again return to this question - how we should properly name it?
This is not update time, but "last update check time".

Manual uninstall has not fixed the install problem?
Then we'll need installer logs to check what's wrong:

What happens to GUI when you start it?

 

[l0rdraiden]

I was looking at the beta yesterday and I miss some of these list (I know you can add them manually but it would be nice to have them by default)

Malvertising filter list by Disconnect‎ : 0 used out of ?
T Malware Domain List‎ (malwaredomainlist.com): 1,487 used out of 1,487httppurge cache
Malware domains‎ (www.malwaredomains.com): 10,617 used out of 10,683httppurge cache
Malware domains (long-lived)‎ (www.malwaredomains.com): 0 used out of ?http
Malware filter list by Disconnect‎ : 0 used out of ?
Spam404‎ (www.spam404.com): 0 used out of ?

This has been taken from ublock.

Regarding the interface IMO is a pain to have to scroll down all the time to see the list or the options/settings. Make the main window resizable, or make the stuff inside the window smaller, I think the interface has been simplified too much and is meant for touch screens.

I would like to see as well the number of items in a list, the items being used, the duplicated ones and the number of blocks that each list produces, this should appear in the panel where the active lists are. And the same but with global numbers (all lists) in Main screen.

A quick question to finish, how does compare Easylist+EasyPrivacy vs Adguard English default list? do I need both?

 

[agasoft]

Thanks. Hope it happen soon. I even alerted him via support ticket 2 days ago, but still no response.
I encountering another problem.
When stealth mode is enabled with all corresponding options, I am not able to login to the microsoft community, even I am loged in on my Microsoft account.

Ok I know why is it, the problem is that we cannot detect windows user if the browser is in the sandbox:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/296

Right, that was 'almost' obvious

We again return to this question - how we should properly name it?
This is not update time, but "last update check time".

Main window displays "Filters were updated X minutes ago".
Maybe "Filters updates have been checked X minutes ago"

Latest filters update check: hh.MM like 16:24 <- workaround for X minutes/hours ago issue
Latest filters update check at hh.MM.ss
Latest filters update check yesterday
Latest filters update check on Monday

Extensions
Installed: 5 enabled: 3

Ad blocker
Enabled filters: 7

I guess you don't want to clutter Adguard code with X minutes/hours ago etc. strings for various languages.

had the same issue with the alpha and now the beta. in my case unchecking "Block third-party cookies" solved the issue.
