[QUOTE="Back3, post: 875176, member: 79310"] My two day experiment with Hard_ Configurator...still going on.. 1. I've been using Windows Defender with Configure Defender for nearly a year now... 2. I looked for tutorials on YouTube: couldn't find one in English but found a good one about version 5 in French. I watched it twice... 3. I made an image with Macrium then installed H_C; 4.In the video, the guy suggested to log off after having accepted the recommended settings. I just refreshed explorer and had problems with Windows Mail. 5. I have two folders on my desktop:I keep shortcuts or portable .exe for maintenance and security applications; I whitelisted those two folders and could use the apps without problems; 6. I then clicked on every app I have in my taskbar and in the start menu to make sure each one was able to run. I had to whitelist my capture app Screenpresso because the .exe is located in program data. I used WizFile to find the exact path to the .exe; Whitelist by path is very easy to use; 7. I did not make any changes in the Configure Defender tab: I already have a High profile setup and it runs good; 8 One year ago I had installed Syshardener to get the firewall rules. I still have them even if I do not have the app on my computer anymore. So for firewall hardening, I already have good external rules. Maybe I will add a few more later....I use Firewall App Blocker to edit firewall rules but next time I will try the H_C firewall tab.
