Chrome & Chrome Portable - are both protected at the same time?

[denial]

Hello,

 

i'm using various browsers with MBAE 1.06.1.1019.

 

i have now running chrome, waterfox and tor browser and MBAE shows 4 shielded applications.

 

when i start additionaly chrome portable via GoogleChromePortable.exe or Portable_Cr64.exe (based on different chrome version), the number of shielded applications in MBAE is still shown 4.

 

i tried to rename the chrome portable executable file to opera.exe or chrome.exe, but still no change in number of shielded applications.

 

with this behaviour, are both chrome browsers (normal & portable) protected at the same time or NOT ?

 

thanks

 

 

EDIT:

 

aha, when i renamed chrome portable executable to firefoxportable.exe and started it, MBAE now shows 5 shielded applications !

Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting.

 

Yes the "shielded applications" concept refers to however many instances of the same application.

that means if i run normal chrome ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe") and chrome portable ("c:\portable\chrome\GoogleChromePortable.exe") at the same time

 

[where the GoogleChromePortable.exe is not in the list of Shields]

[the child processes of chrome portable are still named chrome.exe - no matter of the name of the parent process]

 

and the "Shielded applications" counter shows 1, it means BOTH are protected?

^i think the are NOT, or?

 

 

 

 

or do i need to rename the latter to something like firefoxportable.exe to see 2 shielded applications ?

 

thanks

Yes, two (or more) instances of chrome.exe are still counted as 1 "shielded application" as they are all the "Chrome application".

is there some test to perform directly in (particular) browser whether it is protected?

 

i just found some generic file test which starts calc.exe

 

thanks

You can rename the tester (mbae-test.exe) to the name of a browser to test the functionality under a browser scenario. For example rename mbae-test.exe to iexplore.exe, firefox.exe, chrome.exe, etc.
