[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 905100, member: 32260"] [B]Guys, I need some help/feedback[/B] to clarify the usability of ConfigureDefender MAX settings, especially the ASR rule "Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria" (this rule is disabled in HIGH settings). From my quick tests, it follows that when running fresh (less than 24 hours old) application installers/updaters from Softpedia, almost all digitally signed files are not blocked at all by this ASR rule. For now, I found only one blocked example (blocked for 2 days) which was ZHPDiag application similar to Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST is not signed and was also blocked for 2 days). So, please post here if anybody had problems with blocking the installation/update of any application especially digitally signed.🙏:) [/QUOTE]
