[QUOTE="MrSecure007, post: 914094, member: 89702"] Hi Forum I've been using AppGuard 5.2.9.1 for a few years now and have been really happy with it but unfortunately I think the time may have come for me to replace it as certain features I enable in Windows 10 blue screen my machine (like HyperV and Sandbox). I have contacted their support and was told to upgrade but I don't want to purchase subscription based software for the new version (I was lucky to pay a one off fee for AdGuard 5.2.9.1) so am looking at options. So my questions are: [LIST=1] [*]Are there any other 3rd party alternatives to AdGuard that I should consider? I don't mind paying but would like to avoid subscription based software if I can [*]I've used AppLocker before and really liked it (my version of Win10 supports it). Does anyone know an easy way to setup AppLocker rules (Powershell perhaps)? I remember vaguely that there were ways to bypass some AppLocker rules and you had to add MANY exes exceptions (for example) to the block list to really lock things down good. Doing this via the GUI was painful and time consuming (I used Florians blacklist from Execubits for the exe list and folders that needed to be blocked due to them being writable for non admins). I'll be using Publishing rules and hash rules for anything that isn't signed. I also want to add in any additional rules to prevent AppLocker being bypassed.
