Deprecated Features
Blocking of Publishers
Anti-Executable no longer provides an ability to block a specific Publisher. Since Anti-Executable works on default deny principle, only programs that are explicitly allowed to run will execute, leaving any unauthorized program as blocked. With the added flexibility of publisher control on publisher, program, file and version levels, an administrator can allow only a specific version of a particular file within a program entry of a publisher certificate. This will eliminate program version fragmentation and only allow a specific version of a product to run.
Dedicated Whitelist or Blacklist
Having a dedicated whitelist of blacklist can be confusing to a user as the same executable can be allowed to run on one computer, but blocked on another. This is why an execution control list has been created and the local control list is augmented by policies that specify whether a program is blocked or allowed to run. Blocking action always takes precedence.
Fixes
2865 Resolved an issue where both ‘Primary’ and ‘Backup’ configuration files got corrupted on the workstation. As a result, the Anti-Executable icon did not appear in the System Tray and the user could not get access to the Anti-Executable UI.
