SpyShelter now detects Mic and Webcam activity, then allows you to terminate that activity in real-time. You can also make rules for webcam/mic activity, and see that activity on SpyShelter’s Events, Activity Screen, and Rules Screen.
We’ve redesigned SpyShelter’s Activity and Rules tab, where they are much easier to operate and understand. It’s now much easier to create and control custom SpyShelter security and application control rules.
It’s now possible to see the country code of where an executable came from. For example any Microsoft executable will show “US” as the country. This will appear under any executable information when clicking its icon in SpyShelter.
Tired of the same old executable sitting in your SpyShelter rules? Due to your feedback, older executables will now be automatically removed when SpyShelter detects those executables are no longer present on your PC.
We’ve updated our driver to work in a more efficient and stable way.
Fixed an issue with SpyShelter’s installation under a standard Windows user account.
We’ve included more Microsoft processes that shouldn’t be terminated by SpyShelter, to avoid SpyShelter causing a system instability.
SpyShelter also has many other small fixes and improvements due to feedback from - SpyShelter users. Did we miss something? Let us know in the SpyShelter forum so we can keep improving.
Please reply and give us feedback on the new version.
Auto update is not enabled yet as we monitor the initial user feedback for the new version. You can always force the update by simply downloading the new version from our website and installing it over the existing one.
So should we wait for auto update or you saying auto update is not here yet In versions and we need to update by ourselves I don’t have a problem downloading it and installing
Thks
Hello,
Thank you for the update.
While SpyShelter seems to monitor efficiently Camera access and Mic access, even indicating the last date/time an app used Mic or Cam, there is no clear indication about screen capture access. Why not to make it clearly appear in the rules, with Mic & Cam and Files access rules
We don’t show screen capture access because it appears there is still no actual reliable way to monitor third party screen capture access with the Windows OS. If you know of an app that does this and it works with Windows 10/11 please let us know so we can investigate.
The company Haihaisoft (I believe it’s a Chinese company) has developed a paid software called “Haihaisoft DRM-X 4.0”: Haihaisoft DRM-X 4.0 provides an industry-leading solution to prevent screen recording and screenshots. It adopts multiple methods to prevent it, and the software can be updated and upgraded at any time. it includes: Blacklist Prevent Screen Recording, Smart Prevent Screen Recording Technology, Dynamic digital watermark displays user information.
Quoting: “After login into the DRM-X 4.0 account, go to the “Rights” page, add or edit Rights, and select software in “Blacklist”, now it supports block nearly 200 commonly used screen capture and recording software, the content provider can also submit blacklist software to the development team.” How to prevent screen recording and screenshot? Smart Prevent Screen Recording Technology, Digital Watermark, Digital Rights Management, Audio and Video Encryption, Encryption Software, DRM Encryption System
And a few other software programs claim to have anti-screenshot tools: Zemana AntiLogger, Norton Security (advanced options), Kaspersky (Fraud Prevention for Endpoints says there is an additional protection “Block capturing screenshots” in what they call “Protected Browser”: Kaspersky Fraud Prevention for Endpoints installed on a computer running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 8.1 or Microsoft Windows 10, uses Kaspersky Fraud Prevention for Endpoints installed on a computer running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 8.1 or Microsoft Windows 10, uses hypervisor technology to provide protection against screenshots. etc.
Maybe I am missing something but it seems you just posted apps that block screenshots, but don’t detect them? Where on these websites does it say they detect them? I began clicking through them and I couldn’t seem to find that.
To turn on SpyShelter’s Screenshot Protection, go to our “Protection” tab then scroll to the bottom.
Oh, sorry, you were speaking about detection/monitoring only. In this case I am not sure at all, but it would be strange that any of this commercial apps (ScreenWings or Haihaisoft DRM-X for example) cannot keep a record of blocked apps. I cannot verify this now, but I will try to search some info.
Microsoft has no official way to see what apps are taking screenshots unfortunately for Windows 10/11. Otherwise we’d add that functionality. There may be undocumented ways to do this, but if we go that route then Microsoft may make an update that makes our undocumented method no longer possible, which would make all our customers upset when our screenshot monitoring suddenly stops working permanently.
It would be nice to have an Android app someday if it’s technically possible, but it may not be. I don’t think it’s possible to do much like SpyShelter does on iOS.
