[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 875643, member: 32260"] That will depend on the installed software. You could probably live with blocked Sponsors while checking from time to time the H_C Log for possible blocked events. The cons of blocking Sponsors is that you cannot whitelist the action of the Sponsor - it can be only enabled or disabled. The H_C settings are for decreasing the attack surface area. The necessity of blocking sponsors can depend on your security setup, software vulnerabilities, computer activity, safe habits, etc. For non-happy clickers on well updated Windows 10 with well updated software, blocking sponsors is usually unnecessary. Please, use "Run By SmartScreen" from the right-click Explorer context menu to check & run the EXE and MSI standalone application installers. Edit. Your current setup (KAV 20, Hard_Configurator, WiseVector StopX) is OK. [/QUOTE]
