First I've heard that VS is bloated, care to elaborate?
Sorry for being pedantic but I think you wrongly used the term bloatware. Normally, bloatware is used to define software that have bunch of unnecessary features. Bloatware doesn't always mean it causes slowdown or resource hungry. Maybe that's why people here confused when you call VS as massive bloatware.I notice a slowdown when using it inside a VM or on Production PC compared to not using it. Again, it could be due to running Bitdefender with it.

Easier to use is OSA, best protection is ERP.Can anyone please tell me which of the many NVT products is the best overall product,there is so many,best choices anyone? Thanks

PS ALL backup your trusted vendors before you update as it deletes everything from the list and leaves it empty.
AFAIK, "exclude" is stronger, it can override an "ask" rule. But "allow" cannot override an "ask" rule. In ERP 4, vulnerable processes are the processes that have an "ask" rule. (Actually, some of them have a "block" rule, but I don't think that is not relevant to your question.)What's the difference between Exclude and allow for non-vulnerable processes? what will happen if I change this to allow?
I pressed allow but ERP added a exclude rule.why is that?:notworthy:
Thanks for the answer.it can override an "ask" rule. But "allow" cannot override an "ask" rule.
exactly but in my case its just snipping tool(it's not vulnerable process )so ERP should set an allow rule and not exclude because it's so confusing.But only exclude will work if there is an "ask" rule.
If you are getting prompts for snipping tool, then you changed ERP default settings. Please tell us your custom settings, and do you already have a custom rule in your data base that somehow applies to snipping tool?Thanks for the answer.
I know but it's only useful for a vulnerable process like CMD.
exactly but in my case its just snipping tool(it's not vulnerable process )so ERP should set an allow rule and not exclude because it's so confusing.
still, I don't understand why ERP set exclude rule(by default when you press allow) for not vulnerable processes (those that don't have an ask rule and never been in rules list)
Yes, but it doesn't matter.think its a process like xyz.exe and ERP ask me to allow or block it and when I press allow it set an exclude rule., then you changed ERP default settings
Maybe @Umbra knows how ERP performs at paranoid settings, and whether there is a bug like this?Yes, but it doesn't matter.think its a process like xyz.exe and ERP ask me to allow or block it and when I press allow it set an exclude rule.
It has nothing to do with ERP. Their product is so terrible it doesn't launch without using schtasks as a parent. To see that just disable the task from task scheduler and their application will stop being able to run. Really terrible design they made there.I want Wise disk cleaner to run all commands but not this:
Wise Disk Cleaner\WiseDiskCleaner.exe" $UAC
when I choose this command and press block then ERP block WDC from running.
with Eset hips, i could say ok WDC you are allowed to do whatever you want but you are not allowed to run this command.
is there any way to achieve this with ERP and without blocking WDC itself?
NoVirusThanks Can you pls do smth for this issue? maybe I want to allow some commands but block some other commands?:notworthy:
