[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 922975, member: 32260"] The OP is obviously related to non-home users. It would be hard to find a clear Microsoft statement directed to home users, except maybe about using Standard User Account. Of course, some statements directed to non-home users (usually Enterprise customers) can be also true in the home environment. We probably will not find agreement on this topic. :)(y) Edit. In many cases, one could block rundll32.exe and regsvr32.exe, but there are too many applications that still use them from time to time. The regsvr32.exe is sometimes (rarely) used by the system after Windows Updates, but I did not found any issues after blocking it. Blocking such LOLBins in the home environment is possible, but can be also an issue for inexperienced users. The users who know well H_C could probably block all LOLBins, but this is not needed in the H_C default -deny setup. [/QUOTE]
