[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 839129, member: 32260"] Thanks.:giggle: [LIST=1] [*]Use Allow EXE and TMP from <Whitelist By Path> or set <Default Security Level> = Unrestricted or set <Enforcement> = No Enforcement. Each setting has different implications. The first is recommended if you want to allow EXE files, but use a default-deny setup for the rest. [*]H_C does not introduce/open any vulnerability in real-time protection, because all its processes are closed after finishing the configuration. The protection is based on Windows built-in security which is already in the system. H_C setup makes it only more restrictive. [*]No. After uninstallation H_C reverts the changed settings to Windows default settings. This is usually 100% of the old settings, except when the user had some non-default settings before installing H_C. [*]No, there should not be any conflict. [/LIST] I have Brave installed on Windows 10 ver.1903. After installation, Brave creates two shortcuts, one on the Desktop and the second on Start Menu. They are not blocked by H_C. I also pinned Brave to taskbar - this added another shortcut in: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar This location is not blocked by H_C, too. The Brave shortcut was probably made somehow in the non-standard location that was not whitelisted by default in H_C. This can happen, for example, if you use 3rd party start menu application. Another possibility is when you use Brave with different profiles, then the shortcut can be added to the location: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\ImplicitAppShortcuts which is not whitelisted by default in H_C.(y) [/QUOTE]
