[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 750764, member: 32260"] People on Wilderssecurity forum asked about blocking by Hard_Configurator settings the BAT file located somewhere in the Userspace (XXXX is a UserProfile name): [CODE]START "" C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\knownmalicious.exe[/CODE] [URL='https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/av-comparatives-real-world-protection-test-february-june-2018.406045/page-3#post-2769792']AV-Comparatives: Real-World Protection Test February-June 2018[/URL] . Of course, it will be blocked, because Hard_Configurator default settings (Recommended SRP) block BAT files (and many others) in the Userspace. So, maybe the more clever SmartScreen bypass would be avoiding BAT files and run the commandline: cmd /c START "" C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\knownmalicious.exe or PowerShell -command start C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\knownmalicious.exe . But then, the executable[B] knownmalicious.exe [/B]will be blocked too, because Hard_Configurator default settings (Recommended SRP) block EXE files in the Userspace. Anyway, the user can run the file [B]knownmalicious.exe[/B] when using "Run As SmartScreen" via the Explorer right-click menu, but then it will be checked by SmartScreen. [/QUOTE]
