![]() ![]() When i restore i want it exactly as it was and this is the best way to be clear about that. (I always do full DISK backups - NEVER "system" or incremental or differential. Acronis is fine too, but TODO is easier for me and customizable exclusions, compression, and cpu use. My backup software i also found worth buying:Įaseus TODO backup. It made me look at installed programs and realize i am running a 2017 original install (although dozens of restores from backups after finding time bomb or deciding I didn't like the way i installed some big suite, and even a glitch or two with Windows itself (losing certain settings if i recall right). I did have it installed but didn't realize. The only thing i see is a link to open MBAM if you have it installed (and maybe that button opens a web page to get it if you don't have it installed. They hired the dev at the time and he said he was not seeing anything intrusive planned for it. Originally i donated around $15 for a lifetime license, so i will feel kind of ripped-off, but with small devs there is always that risk. Even if they decide to charge, I think it is one of the few progs i would buy. I saved the last version that was independent, but i noticed after a few Win 10 updates, it would block some things even after i allowed them, but it was just update processes so I'd change the WFC profile while updating.īut someone else was wondering how the Malwarebytes version was so i installed that one instead (keeping "all current rules" when uninstalling the old one, so i did not have to choose for all those again) The new version catches and asks about a few things, so maybe the old one was not matching process names accurately or something. It's now owned by Malwarebytes but is still free. ![]() With WFC it is also easy to look at "user created rules", filter and deleye the invalid ones (maybe ones that were run from unzipped folders that no longer exist, for example) and duplicates, etc. That's a reason to have a "front-end" for normal firewall. It really is one of the best ~5 soft synths out there, worth forking out for, hopefully at discount somewhere.Ĭlick to expand.The problem with normal Windows firewall is that it may allow without notification, and you might initiate a process not realizing what other processes will be triggered. Complements my other "love" Spire, which is a bit more convoluted for programming, nicely sound-wise. Some time ago I thought it wasn't worth using much, but after getting deeper. I wasn't too obsessed with Serum until just recently when I took it for a ride and discovered that I really like it, both sound and workflow. We don't crave luxuries of any kind, nor we're druggies. Concerts were one of the main sources of my income. I respect Steve Duda very much, but I'm generally and especially now under lockdown, rather scrapped for money. I'm going to try saving patches, and then if it doesn't work I might be forced to do just as you did. I wonder if I missed the "trigger" of some kind during those couple of hours of testing. Maybe I've got a really good serial? But people claim that Serum checks its website, often when changing patches.ĭoes anybody have something to add? This test encouraged me to use this version, unpatched, with my main audio computer. TCP/UDP tracer haven't logged anything suspicious the whole time, and I didn't even use the patched version!Ĭould it be that Serum uses some services like firewall, background transfer, or some other service that I have disabled? I know it doesn't like those entries that block its website in the Windows hosts file, too. I saved the project and loaded it, everything fine. I wonder why? I've been using like 5-6 instances of Serum, browsing presets like mad just to try to trigger something and nothing happened. It actually didn't log anything since I started the daw and exited it. To cut to the chase, I've been playing with the Serum for hours and the TCP/UDP tracer didn't detect anything coming from the Reaper 4 DAW or Serum plugin. ![]() I have firewall disabled, no AV, only hosts file that blocks some websites and 2 xfer records websites, for just in case. You know, encouraged by this thread and the thread called "Xfer Serum 1.3.0b1 calling home" that I cannot find for some reason, I installed v1.3.0b6 from the sister site, with a serial number that works - which means you don't get any weird messages when you press the preset browser button, in a VirtualBox VM Windows 7 optimised for audio my way in Linux Debian 9 and installed a TCP/UDP tracer from Nirsoft to be able to see if Serum is calling home.
