[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 758639, member: 23015"] I have a very different opinion about [B]default deny[/B]; for me it is much [B]better suited for average/beginners [/B]than for advanced users. The former group cant be trusted to make choices about what file will run and advanced users will run only files that they really need, so an antivirus with behavior blocker is their safe belt in a rare judgment mistake. Edit: [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] approach is the perfect balance between security and "annoyance" (user input), it is something that advanced users and begginers can use without impacting their activities. The "dumb" default- deny has no value for the advanced user (except for hobby) and while it is very good for begginers it demands initial configuration, something that in the "real world" can only be properly done in a corporate environment.
