[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 704207, member: 50782"] [USER=68951]@Chimaira[/USER] and others impressed and overwhelmed by the many options of OSarmor Andreas has put in many options of which some have a loose, medium and strict block variant. Some rules are a mystery because it is impossible to guess what is blocked ((e.g. the advanced rule: "block specific processes from self executing"). For members hesitating to take the dive, I have a composed a "safe" list of items to be blocked (compare it with Black Viper's safe list of Windows Processes to be disabled). Download the OsArmor.txt and rename it OSArmor.rules Import this ruleset by clicking on OSarmor tray icon. Click the "Open Configurator" button, when configurator opens click the "Load from file" button and select the renamed OS.Armor.rules file. Next click on the "Anti-Exploit" tab and select all the programs you have running on your PC (so only enable the programs you recognize). Close the configurator. Finally download the Exclusions.txt (this to make sure you can always install windows updates, might Microsoft use a way to update the system which is suspicious and blocked by the hardening rules of OSarmor). Right click the OSarmor icon in the system tray, select Manage Exclusions. Allow the UAC elevation prompt. When the "NoVirusThanks OSArmor Exclusion Helper" screen appears click the "Open Exclusions" button. Now the content of the Exclusions.db file appears in Notepad. Open the Exclusions.txt file and copy and paste all lines from the Exclusions.txt to the Exclusions.db (you have two instances of Notepad open when you follow instructions correctly).
