[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 1095087, member: 91306"] I had this happen to me the first few times trialing CIS years ago, the cause of which was HIPS enabled in "Paranoid mode". I figured out it was best to use Training mode, (although maybe I could have also used Clean PC mode and/or Create rules for safe applications??), knowing of course I had a system free of malware, then after a few reboots, logging in/out and allowing the account to lock, running common Windows tasks and all the programs I normally used, I would then lock it down in Paranoid mode. Of course cruelsister does not utilize HIPS, rather opting instead for her own custom approach that utilizes Proactive security with auto-containment and the firewall blocking new requests, a configuration recommended for new and inexperienced users as well. Nowadays because I don't use Windows that often and because I've grown bored and weary of these types of security programs, I just utilize a free tool that enhances Windows defender. [/QUOTE]
