[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 1093423, member: 88686"] You are making a good point. I don't know how it works on Windows, but on macOS, no app has any file access permissions unless you explicitly grant that access. On Windows, perhaps use a program to limit/sandbox what any new program can do. Obfuscating the path might help for badly programmed stealers, but those will probably be caught by your AV anyway.
