Major Privacy 0.98.3 Beta

MajorPrivacy is a cutting-edge privacy and security tool for Windows, offering unparalleled control over process behavior, file access, and network communication. It is a continuation of the PrivateWin10 project. By leveraging advanced kernel-level protections, MajorPrivacy creates a secure environment where user data and system integrity are fully safeguarded. Unlike traditional tools, MajorPrivacy introduces innovative protection methods that ensure mounted encrypted volumes are only accessible by authorized applications, making it the first and only encryption solution of its kind.

Major Privacy 0.98.3 Beta changelog:

This release of MajorPrivacy introduces several important improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations.

• The resource access rules engine has been enhanced to include the user as an additional parameter, enabling finer-grained access control.
• CPU usage has been reduced in both the user interface and background service, improving overall performance.
• The ImBox feature has been updated to avoid modifying container file timestamps when accessing secure encrypted volumes.
• Firewall rule handling has been improved for Store Apps on Windows 23H2 and later versions, increasing compatibility and reliability.
• A critical issue has been resolved in ImBox.exe that affects the mounting of older encrypted volumes; users should use a previous build to recover data and then recreate the volumes using this or a later version.
• Additionally, several interface and functionality bugs have been addressed: translations now load correctly, the Data Editor’s tree view now functions properly across multiple .dat files, and the Execution Monitor displays entries as expected when a time filter is applied.
• The “Add to Group” menu now correctly lists all available groups, and folder creation is no longer incorrectly permitted under Directory Listing and Read-only actions.
