[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 622368, member: 32260"] If the portable application is in C:\Windows, C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) (for 64-bit Windows), then it does not have to be whitelisted. Those folders are already whitelisted by default. All other programs have to be whitelisted when running as standard user. There are some fixed standard locations that [B]should not be whitelisted[/B] in the folder C:\Users\UserName: Appdata\Local\Temp, Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, etc. They are present on all computers so can be used by malware in the wild. If you rarely use some applications, consider to use 'Run As SmartScreen', it can bypass SRP restrictions - the application is checked by SmartScreen, and then (if recognized as safe) run with administrative rights. If, so then it does not have to be whitelisted. Yet, this solution is not recommended for vulnerable applications like Web Browsers or any applications that are known targets for exploits. The White List is stored in Windows Registry, so it can survive the program update. You can simply install the new version over the old one or, if you do not like possible leftovers, follow the instructions from the file Installation.txt. The only way to wipe out the White List is using the <Restore Windows Defaults> option in <Tools>, or recover the system from the restore point. I hope it will help.:) [/QUOTE]
