[QUOTE="DavidLMO, post: 704262, member: 68644"] This IS a very important thing that Joe/Jane will encounter. I was installing an app (Zoek) and forgot to turn OSA off. (I was only running OSA as a security app at the time to ensure other SecApps were not interfering.) OSA (running on default settings) blocked the app, but that caused some windows errors and a loop that took me a bit to figure out. Average Joe/Jane would be quite frustrated and likely blame it on OSA. I am sure that some of the default rules will cause such problems with other progs - particularly when installing. In this case the program was Zoek (a useful tool for advanced users, but dangerous in the hands of newbies). Here are the first two Log entries: Date/Time: 1/9/2018 12:49:41 AM Process: [11396]C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mshta.exe Parent: [1896]C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe Rule: BlockHtaScripts Rule Name: Block execution of .hta scripts Command Line: "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mshta.exe" "C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Temp\zoek.hta" Signer: Parent Signer: Date/Time: 1/9/2018 12:49:43 AM Process: [364]C:\Windows\SysWOW64\reg.exe Parent: [1896]C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe Rule: BlockSuspiciousCmdlines Rule Name: Block execution of suspicious command-line strings Command Line: reg.exe add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.hta" /f Signer: Parent Signer: [/QUOTE]
