[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 758511, member: 32260"] The <Block Sponsors> feature was intended to use in the unsecured environment or when you suspect that something could be exploited. Blocking the sponsors by Hard_Configurator settings should not break down Windows Updates, but a few programs from the blacklist can be required sometimes to configure something after updates. Also, Windows Updates can have bugs which are not visible on non-restricted systems, but can spoil something on the highly restricted one. I am not a big fan of blocking many sponsors, except maybe interpreters. The recommended setup and safe habits should focus on preventing exploits & malware by not-executing them in the first place. If so, then blocking many sponsors are not needed. [/QUOTE]
