[QUOTE="Kuttz, post: 770391, member: 36292"] Asking just for clarification no offense intended even remotely. First of all you need to create various rules of your liking in order to locked down your system so tight. Secondly if you need to install new apps you are required to add exclusion to the apps. Before adding exclusion you need to verify the app you wanted to install is malicious or not (How do you ascertain a file is 100% safe ?). The whole process is cumbersome for all most all PC users because of practical reasons. Those who have noting important to do with their PC and have ample time to waste can try various time killing activies like implementing multi layered lock down configurations. If any other person other than you try to use your PC especially elderly people they will be devastated by its restrictions you imposed by way of lock down configuration. I won't say a lock down configuration is bad but one cannot argue that it is better than default allow or Anti Virus configured PCs. Both have its pros and cons. All people in MT is aware of both configurations. [/QUOTE]
