[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 738975, member: 32260"] You are pretty much safe, because [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]you know how to set SRP properly[/B][/COLOR]. Most SRP users, are hardly as safe as they think. They do not recognize the shortcut, macros, and scriptlet vulnerabilities, which can easily bypass the standard SRP configuration. They do not know how many Windows folders have writable & executable permissions and allow dropping executables to whitelisted folders without UAC prompt. But, when using a good on demand or file reputation scanner + safe web browser, they are probably as safe as using the standard free AV. Anyway, if someone wants to try SRP the below links can be helpful: [URL="https://malwaretips.com/threads/srp-protecting-windows-folder-in-win-10.80283/page-2#post-715862"]SRP: Protecting Windows Folder in Win 10[/URL] [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/how-do-software-restriction-policies-work-part-1.69275/#post-606523']Tutorial - How do Software Restriction Policies work (part 1) ?[/URL] [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/how-do-software-restriction-policies-work-part-2.69451/#post-611840']Tutorial - How do Software Restriction Policies work (part 2) ?[/URL] [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/how-do-software-restriction-policies-work-part-3.70582/']Tutorial - How do Software Restriction Policies work (part 3) ?[/URL] [/QUOTE]
