[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 991136, member: 32260"] Please remember that H_C is not SWH. The H_C is intended to protect casual users, too. If the casual user does not need editing Excel files, then this setup will be for him even more usable, because Excel Mobile (or Xodo PDF) is much simpler compared to the full Excel desktop. Furthermore, the user cannot spoil the document by accidental editing. There is no problem. You probably use the ON setting which is suited for casual users. You can use the PV setting. The file will be opened in the Protected View. Now, you have the choice to view the file with high restrictions, or <Allow all features> and view the file without most restrictions in AppContainer. The second choice is also OK if you additionally use ConfigureDefender HIGH settings and FirewallHardening. Blocking the links in PDF documents makes sense for casual users because the current attacks commonly use phishing links embedded in PDF documents. This is a highway that can deliver 0-day malware and redirect to compromised websites. :)(y) [/QUOTE]
