[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 822716, member: 32260"] You will probably never see the malware trying to exploit MS Office or SRP policies (tweaked by H_C). So, using the OSA option to protect MS Office is unnecessary. Furthermore, WD ASR rules are probably more comprehensive and harder to bypass. In theory, OSA advanced settings can save you if the exploit could achieve privilege escalation. But, such exploits are quickly patched by M$. In the real world, you will get nothing from using H_C (default-deny) and OSA together, except a headache. After some time you will skip one of them for sure. If you like restricted default-allow (like most users), then keep OSA. Otherwise, keep H_C.(y) [/QUOTE]
