Custom exploit protection ... - i don't know for WPS Ofiice what settings to apply

Trial & error.

Nice, simple setup!

Removed Bandizip -> Added Explzh

And attached is my settings for H_C, Exploit protection, KSCF, browsers.
Just delete the ".txt" to use settings.
I want to thank all the MalwareTips users who share their knowledge with us, thanks to them I was able to make these settings.
On exploit file, rename ". txt" to ".zip"

Why switch from Bandizip to Explzh?

 

[cryogent]

Just to see how is working.
I don't update apps very often and I hate bandizip keep asking me to update. I know what u will say: why don't u just update and get rid of annoying.....what can I say, if is not a critical update in changelog I don't see the point to update that app.

Thank you, I will give it a try and see how it works. I didn't notice there was a portable version.

Removed ClearURLs and added "Legitimate URL Shortener" in AdGuard Desktop, a tip from here, post#14.

@silversurfer I tested the portable version but does not have the option to register in the right click menu with "Extract here" or any other command.
I suspect there are third-party variants of adding entries to the menu but last time I tried that, it messed up the whole menu...so...no.... I'll stick with Explzh for now

Eksplzh very good archiver. I have been using it for a long time. Currently, I have a 7-zip due to the Polish language.

Yes, you are right. No context-menu available for Bandizip Portable, beside that I'm using WinRar as installed software for same purpose.
