[QUOTE="nadis, post: 991929, member: 87161"] I recently upgraded to the latest 6.x beta and found a couple of issues: 1. When loading an External BlockList in FirewallHardening, it discards the rules with missing paths (files that don't exist at that location). I think this should be optional. Because I'd like to install H_C on a clean Windows system and load all the firewall rules, so that they're ready before programs that need to be blocked are installed. But maybe someone prefers the current behavior. In that case there should be an additional button, for a total of three, when missing paths are loaded: "show missing paths", "keep rules" and "discard rules". That way, one could decide what to do. 2. When upgrading H_C from version 5.x to 6.x, it automatically enables SmartScreen for "Apps and Files", even when it was off and disabled by Group Policy. It looks like this doesn't happen with a fresh 6.x install, however. [/QUOTE]
