Is AppGuard better than WDAC and CyberLock ?

[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1055010"] WDAC is the strongest solid one (blocks even the highest integrity rights). Cyberlock is the easiest to use. AppGuard made sense before Windows10 and before the integration of AI and behavioral monitoring into consumer security. The advantage AppGuard has over Software Restriction Policies that it runs as system process (SRP runs in userland) and is much more granular. It also was one of the first ro offer exploit protection mechanism. I once had a license of Adguard Solo, but I think it is overrated (like OS-Armor is now also). They had a stronghold, but the OS and everyday paid consumer security products closed the gaps they were a solution for. Worth mentioning two free security products which offer a cloud based whitelist solution a) Microsoft Defender when run at MAX level (using Configure Defender) b) Avast Free using hardened mode When you combine either of the two with Simple Windows Hardening, I can't imagine malware passing those hurdles. Same applies for a bitdfender free with CyberLock combo. I also can't image you ever to get infected. There more roads leading to Rome. IMO both AppGaurd and OS-Armor are a feel good investment. It feels good to have an additional level of security, but the practical added value in terms of protection is minimal. [/QUOTE]
