[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1035963"] Yes, nothing beats a hard-whitelist (I like WDAC), but with SRP you can block execution for standard user and allow execution for admin using Hard_Configrator ('soft SUA-whitelist') A problem free alterative is the 'hardened-Cloud-whitelist'. In this scenario you would be using the Avast profile of Hard_Configrator adding additional sponsors to block (script interpreters plus enhanced) with Configure_Defender on MAX. I prefer this (H_C Avast profile) over SWH + CD because of the additional sponsor blocks. Despite all post with "MD slowing down my PC" I a have not ever seen a (potato) PC launching applications faster than this combo (measured with AppTimer, not on I think or feel it is faster). Before I put this on relative's PC I always check whether MD is the fastest. Because I like the concept of VS very much and it was free, (at that time, now not anymore) I have tried this also on a few potato-PC's (PC's of family members given to older relatives because they bough a new one). When you check the startup of Edge and Office, the Avast profile with MD on MAX is at least 1 to 2 seconds faster when first starting a program (after reboot). Consecutive (from paged out memory) starts are only 0,1 to 0,3 seconds faster (MD with SRP faster than MD + VoodooShield). I have also noticed this (MD being faster) when measuring H_C Avast + C_D Max against Avira, BitDefender, F-secure and ESET! [/QUOTE]
