[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 842862, member: 32260"] For optimal security, the [B]<Lower EXE Restrictions> [/B]feature has to be complemented by blocking EXE/MSI files when executed directly from the archive (without manual unpacking). Most archiving applications display the warning alert in such cases, but this will not stop many users from running the EXE / MSI files from the archive. I such cases the default archiver application unpacks the file in Appdata\Local\Temp folder (like most installers/updaters do) and the file is executed from this location - usually without SmartScreen check. For now, I included some well-known applications: [B]Explorer[/B] - blocking pattern:[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B] Temp*_*.zip[/B][/COLOR] [B]WinZip[/B] - blocking pattern: [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]wz????[/COLOR] WinRar[/B] - blocking pattern: [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]Rar$EX*[/B][/COLOR] [B]7-Zip[/B] - blocking pattern: [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]7z?????????[/B][/COLOR] [B]PeaZip [/B]- blocking pattern:[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B] .ptmp??????[/B][/COLOR] [B]PowerArchiver [/B]- blocking pattern:[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B] _PA*[/B][/COLOR] [B]B1 Free Archiver [/B]- blocking pattern:[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B] B1FreeArchiver-*-*-*-*-*[/B][/COLOR] [B]Bandizip[/B] - blocking pattern:[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B] BNZ.???????????????[/B][/COLOR] [B]IArc[/B] - blocking pattern: [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]$$_????[/B][/COLOR] [B]ALZip[/B] - blocking pattern: [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]_AZTMP*_[/B][/COLOR] [B]ExpressZip[/B] - blocking pattern: [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]ExpressZip-*-*[/B][/COLOR] [B]PKZip[/B] - blocking pattern: [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]PK????.tmp[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
