[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 713155, member: 32260"] Normally, applications running with Administrative rights cannot access folders protected by EFL. They have to exploit something in the kernel or install a custom kernel driver allowing low-level disk access. So, the common malware running in the user-mode (elevated or not) will not defeat EFL protection. I performed a simple test and protected my Music folder (Access, Write, Delete, Visibility = disabled). Next, I ran Total Commander with system rights using RunAsSystem utility ([URL="http://www.qwerty.lab"]www.qwerty.lab[/URL]). The protected folder was not accessible. Next, I ran PowerTool 1.8 and was able to delete the files from protected Documents folder. [/QUOTE]
