[QUOTE="Malware Man, post: 426128, member: 5424"] Thank you for the insight. :) I still prefer Applocker. It's by the best thing I have ever used and requires very little maintenance. Just 4 rules, switching to a standard user account, enabling a service and I was all set. I have used Comodo, although I think it's amazing software. I prefer Applocker. It's built in, lightweight, works fine. It's built in so I can be 100% sure it's going to work great with the OS. My knowledge about the Windows file system is pretty good. I am sure I could manage to use SOB, but this works for me. What works for me, may not work for you and you may not like it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The less security programs running, the better for IMO cause then the system isn't being so bogged down by all the processes. I used to go crazy and have 4 things or 5 things running at once. It got so slow. I am now running just Applocker + AV and I couldn't be happier. I have finally found a config I like and will stick with for awhile. I've been obsessed with Group Policy and been loving all the security features inside of it to lock Windows down. It's honestly great and cannot justify paying for some other whitelisting program when Applocker is free, built in, and works just fine for me. I've been struggling to get stuff past it. I've tried like packs of Malware. I've ran over maybe 500 or 1000 files so far and they all just keep getting denied lol. [USER=18351]@RmG152[/USER] Yes, unfortunately Applocker is only available to the Enterprise edition of Windows 8.1... I happen to be running Windows 10 Education edition which includes it and couldn't be happier. I get it for nothing from my school! :) [/QUOTE]
