[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 770399"] hahaha i was expected this question :) 1- yes 2- yes or disable it temporarily and install the app once point 3 is confirmed. 3- many options like checking the hash, Virus Total, etc...also most malicious files will use another process/interpreter or run from known areas so if those are also blocked the malicious file is obviously harmless. There was a video made by [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] installing Appguard (default setting) on an infected system, then the malware was blocked. 1- Indeed, i don't force lockdown setups upon noobs, i just say that there is no better way to protect a system. 2- if they use my pc, they can still watch videos, browse, works on office; the only thing they can't do is install software or run stuff they are not supposed to. 3- in term of security it is definitely better, there is no place for unknown/unwanted stuff, now about convenience obviously it is more restrictive. 4- most lockdown setup's users come from corporate environment, there you just can't let stuff running around as a home user system would. Most have already the skills to handle such setups but home users if trained and interested can handle it too. [/QUOTE]
