Do we actually need so many security programs?

[QUOTE="509322, post: 774786"] [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] - add PowerShell, wscript and cscript to High Restricted. Then launch them. Watch what happens with HIPS and firewall alerts. Typical user will be like "Wut ?" when the alerts appear. They will be overwhelmed. "Wut does this mean ?" "Wut should I do ?" "Huh... wut !!???" The user is better off manually adding PoSh, wscript and cscript in both System32 and SysWOW64 to the Application Control list and setting the toggle to OFF. A program does not need to be run manually in order for it to be added to Application Control. To add manually you simply right-click on the Group Name header in Application Control > Add application to group > and then browse to the program to be added. What a user will find confusing are the Application Control icons and icon color changes... LOL. KIS is one of those security softs where the user isn't going to get the most out of it unless the user tweaks it. And the user isn't going to effectively tweak it unless they tinker\practice with it to learn and understand how it works. [/QUOTE]
