[QUOTE="unknownFellow, post: 1014223, member: 97915"] hey guys, thanks for your feedback and support. It makes sense that it's technically impossible to do it without losing admin rights, however, making it harder and harder to access the platform will decrease the probability of me knowing what I did, and hopefully even forgetting about it. After getting all your feedback in this thread I'm going to have to delete the thread completely so no trace is left behind. Hope you understand :) [USER=61084]@brambedkar59[/USER] I've just done the trick with the hosts file. Is there a way to remove permission to that folder, or add a password to it so only the system can access it (not the admin)? I'll also try Shadow Defender and NextDNS. // edit: I also want to make a small piece of software that checks every newly downloaded file and if it's related to steam or dota, instantly remove it. the process should run in the background, auto-enable at startup but not show in task manager -> start up tab nor in apps and features. any idea where to start form with this?
