[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1017622, member: 61091"] I went back to wilders yesterday and read the thread AppGuard in other anit-malware software, 9 pages of posts from 2019 thru current. Many of those posts echoed my thoughts about AGSolo over the past 2 weeks since I installed it. The "insights" were more from questions posted than from clear answers :unsure: I have read thru the v6 manual, beginning to end, and intend to do that at least one more time. While AG v6.7.65.4 seems to be running fine on my win10 w/AG default settings, and I like the protection, it seems each system requires at least some tweaks. Very hard to know if an Activity Log event preventing X from doing Y, is harmless, optimal, or needs a customization tweak, and that seems to require knowledge beyond the scope of AG help files. I did glean that newer AG version(s) report many more "suspicious activities" than earlier versions (perhaps under win7). And we can expect very little if any official guidance from AG support. My comments are just comments more than concerns. I liked AG way back when, and I'm not disliking it now, but running it with :unsure::confused:o_O😳 I'll be happier if and when my systems knowledge increases (and I clearly see it prevent a malware mishap 👍 -- but I guess that's the point, you don't really see prevention unless you study the Log (but don't always understand the Log, catch-22??). Perhaps ignore Log -- Alerts= None!, Keep calm and carry on... ?? :ROFLMAO: (& I need to re-read this thread from beginning again too) [/QUOTE]
