[QUOTE="NoVirusThanks, post: 1005182, member: 68429"] We've released a new application on Appsvoid: [HEADING=2]LNK File Guard v1.0[/HEADING] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.appsvoid.com/products/lnk-file-guard/[/URL] Screenshot (it blocked the malicious .LNK file from the mounted ISO file): [ATTACH type="full" width="948px" alt="lnk-file-guard-1.png"]269517[/ATTACH] The program was created mainly for businesses to fight the rise of malicious .LNK shortcut files used in initial stages of an attack. Once the program is installed and running, it will monitor .LNK files and automatically block suspicious and unknown .LNK files. You don't have to configure anything, if needed you can enable the option to block unknown .LNK files on Desktop but this option is commonly recommended for businesses, should not be needed for Home users. The program doesn't add an icon on the system tray, by default when a .LNK file is blocked it is logged in the .log files. You can see that the .LNK file has been blocked because when you double-click on it nothing will happen. For a quick test, just place a .LNK file on C:\ and try to run it, it should be blocked and logged in the .log files. Feedbacks are as always welcome :) [/QUOTE]
