[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 748594, member: 32260"] SRP uses Designated File Types list to block files by extension. For example, you can block CHM files (and many other) outside 'C:\Windows' and C:\Program FIles' folder without blocking the executable hh.exe that can open them. You can also directly block shortcuts (LNK files) etc. So, the happy clicker cannot be fooled by the file with the spoofed extension, because it will be blocked. Furthermore, you can block many vulnerable executables from Windows folder without breaking Windows Updates and system scheduled tasks, because they are usually blocked by SRP only as standard user and allowed to run with higher rights. Generally SRP configuration is simpler from WD Application Control. SRP can be applied in Enterprises networks, but to get the similar security level as in the case of WD Application Control, SRP has to be very restrictive, so less usable. . All the above is true. I think that you understand the home user as an inexperienced or average user. I did not mean it. [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)][B]The home user is the user that has the computer connected to the home network under the NAT router. [/B][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]That is a big difference as compared to the user in the Enterprise network.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]I do not recommend configuring SRP (with or without Hard_Configurator) by inexperienced users. As you noticed, even already configured SRP setup requires supervising by an experienced user, from time to time. [/COLOR] That is the point we do not agree. In my opinion, SRP is quite good for: [LIST=1] [*]Small business. [*]Home - when computers can be supervised by an experienced user. [/LIST] For Enterprise networks the combo WD Application Control + WD Application Guard or 3-rd party solutions like AppGuard are much better.(y) [/QUOTE]
