[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1011385, member: 32260"] Who can use such protection? Probably many users. There are many inexperienced users who treat computers like devices with predefined functions (TV, washing machine, etc.). They do not bother to change anything. Most probable scenario: [LIST=1] [*]Fresh Windows installation. [*]The experienced user installs all needed applications avoiding unsigned ones. [*]If it is necessary, a few unsigned applications can be installed, too. But, auto-updates for them should be disabled. Updating them (two or three times a year) must be done by an experienced user. [*]The experienced user applies the Applocker protection described in this thread and test if all works well. If not, then the application must be replaced. [*]The computer is ready. The inexperienced user can use it safely. [/LIST] Such a scenario is possible if an experienced user can manage the computer a few times per year. :) It would be nice to gather the popular (recommended) applications that can work well with Applocker from this thread. Also, the list of popular applications that do not work well, could be useful. [/QUOTE]
