[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 920373, member: 32260"] This is the most innocent change that H_C makes in the Registry and Windows functionality. Furthermore, "Install By SmartScreen" is the heart of most H_C setting profiles and applying any setting profile already requires user consent. Anyway, the fact that "Install By SmartScreen" is not fully removed when uninstalling H_C is a bug. I simply did not take into account that someone could first disable SmartScreen by Admin Policies and next would want to use H_C which is based mostly on SmartScreen. Thanks for pointing it out - I will fix it in the next version of H_C. (y) :) Unfortunately, the H_C settings are not compatible with GPO restrictions due to the GPO refresh feature (this is noted in the H_C help and manual). So, GPO restrictions can spoil some functions of H_C. By the way, you can simply use the Windows Security Center to disable SmartScreen. It will remain disabled (not a part of WD Tamper Protection).
