In the beggining, I thought I should make a tutorial for more advanced users (meaning more tweaking), but then I found very simple steps you could take to make SAP inpenetrable. Actually, configuring it the way I'm gonna show, it would make SAP behave like an anti-executable with a real-time AV. So, here we go...

1. In Settings>Universal AV>Exclusions make sure that all engines are enabled

2. On Settings>Application Whitelisting>Standard Mode check Lockdown Mode

3. On Settings>Application Whitelisting>Advanced Mode uncheck Trust based on digital signature

That's all, folks! So simple! I could dig a bit deeper into the settings, but no need, really!
With the aforementioned settings, no program will be able to execute, unless it's in your whitelist.

Note: SAP scans your system the first time you install it and creates a whitelist of the already installed programs. Since there is still the possibility of malware escaping detection, make sure your PC is completely clean.

Thanks for reading, mates! Suggestions are welcome.

If you have poor upload or trafic limitation, set at 10mb...
(Secureplus slowndon ALL my internet using upload, yes, my net it...)

Of course, it depends on your internet connection, yes.
Mostly though this guide has to do with the whitelisting process and not the UAV, which won't matter in the end of the day.

I imagine you're planing to make changes in the guide if the latest beta introduce different settings?

Since the product doesn't have any phishing protection, but it might be a good idea to cover that using an addon like Bitdefender traffic light.
(Of course this is if the user is planning to only have SecureAPlus as the main antivirus)

Do you feel any slow down when you browse the internet after allowing SAP to use unlimited bandwidth?

Νο, not really. I rarely make changes to my system, so most of the time UAV has nothing to upload since I don't download anything new. But for a normal daily usage, 100MB would be enough for me.
