[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 811714, member: 32260"] No. H_C requires the hardcoded path for RunAsSmartScreen and RunBySmartScreen executables. It should be somewhere in the c:\Windows or c:\Program Files, because those folders (and subfolders) are not writable (mostly) with standard rights. So, the malicious process cannot easily replace H_C executables, unless it will gain high privileges. The c:\Windows folder is better, because the casual user cannot easily access H_C as compared to c:\Program Files. [/QUOTE]
