[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 770539"] You are not running them as far[B] as you are aware[/B], the beauty of advanced malware is to run without you noticing; then Default-deny will save your ass. if you use a decent default-deny application, set it up right, even if you run a weaponized known apps like Ccleaner, your D-D soft should block its attempt to do damage, because malware will often use some other processes to do its malicious task. (like using powershell.exe or rundll32.exe to create a backdoor, trying to call home, etc...). There is 2 words that all experienced default-deny users know very well : [U]Vulnerable Processes[/U] Those are used in almost all malware attacks, block them, most malware will be harmless. [/QUOTE]
