[QUOTE="ebocious, post: 805411, member: 75834"] Did you not read my previous post? How will an average user "go around" AppGuard and allow? It doesn't give them the option! It just blocks everything and notifies you afterward that it did so. In order to install something, you have to put AppGuard on install mode [B][I]before[/I][/B] you launch the installer. And even if you forget to re-enable protection after doing so, AppGuard automatically boosts itself back up after 20 minutes. And once an app is installed, it's installed. You can use it freely, unless it tries to inject code into another process, or launch PowerShell, or run a macro. On a normal day, you don't even know AppGuard is there, because there's nothing happening on the system that AppGuard cares about. And this isn't after months to years of training; this is right out of the box. You also missed where I said that iOS, macOS, and Linux use default deny. And the former two are widely used. So much for there being no viable economic future for home user default deny. Next time, maybe stop and read a post before you respond to it? You don't have to have the last word no matter what; it's okay to be wrong. [/QUOTE]
