Advice Request How to use BitDefender 2019 as a default-deny solution

[RoboMan]

I have been playing with BitDefender Total Security for the past days and I found its modules to be a very interesting piece of work.

If you head to "Safe Files" module you will see there are two options: Protected Folders and Application Access.

Spoiler: Safe Files

Protected Folders works as an anti-ransomware protection component, denying modification on the specified folders.
Application Access allows whitelistening programs that will be able to perform such modifications.

Testing such components went great, no visible issues. So I took it a step further and added AppData and ProgramData folders to Protected Folders component, in order to deny any modification, payload drops, etc.

And it worked great! Everything on such folders was getting denied permissions. Of course, this is a double shape tool, so many regular programs I used were stuck without being able to open. But it's possible to default deny everything.

Now anybody has any idea or tip on how to make this work better? What to include and what to exclude? Trying to make it work so I can also use it as an anti-executable

It is not flexible enough for that.

Sad, if we had wildcards or snaphshot options it could be.

You can't do anything like that. Just use bd with a default deny software if you need the detection module or just use the default deny tool.

PS. Might want to disable ssl scan if you want to use tls 1.3 instead of 1.2

i am using BDTS and so far it is not that heavy... Well it is at some extant because it has a lot of modules. It is worth buying it for less then 25 bucks at their website .

I agree. A couple of bugs, no big deal. It's a great, sophisticated piece of software.

You need atleast 6GB of RAM and small SSD for lag free experience on BD TS. On HDD and 4GB RAM its very slow.
