[QUOTE="nadis, post: 1005426, member: 87161"] Late reply, but please reconsider this. People can have various reasons for not using SmartScreen or any other anti-malware solution, whether it's performance related or privacy related or anything else. (I saw that uninstalling H_C 6.* also re-enables SS. But it looks like the SS related Group Policy settings stick if you toggle them to default and back.) And I found a bug in H_C, at recommended settings: If a shortcut (*.lnk) is more than a few folders deep, the linked app gets blocked. For example: [I]C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\1\2\shortcut.lnk[/I] [B]— works[/B] [I]C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\1\2\3\shortcut.lnk[/I] [B]— does not work[/B] This problem doesn't happen when setting SRP rules in GP, only with H_C.
