Most games should install/run/update without whitelisting. From my experience, some blocks are expected if the application uses .bin or .dat files (and scripts of course). The less-painful method is simply whitelisting the game folder.ransomoff had this extension blocking ability , but they took it off for further develop wich is sad
I guess i give this a go anytime soon, maybe it might be bit painfull whitelisting specific games, but only hurts once
I am not sure if I understand you correctly. The SWH is required to be run only once and then you can close it. After that, SWH is not required - the real-time protection comes from Windows native processes. You can run SWH again if you want to adjust/switch OFF/switch ON/remove the settings.
Yes I understood that, in fact I just wanted to know if there was a way to execute "run/activate then close HSW" in a single command line. Sorry for not having been clear!
Understand. No, it is not possible. In this way, the attacker could use it as LOLBin to remove silently some advanced SRP settings or advanced Hard_Configurator settings.
Ha, ha. This simplicity is mostly to the credit of MT members. I have a rather twisted kind of simplicity that can be seen in Hard_Configurator.
If you like it and there are no problems, then just keep the above setup.
Simple Windows Hardening, DocumentsAntiExploit, RunBySmartScreen (If your SmartScreen works). I do not know which of them is trusted in the CF file lookup.
Interesting. It is Bitdefender's false positive. I have to investigate why it is so.
Bitdefender always quarantines your tools when it runs an initial scan. I just add an exception and move on, apologies for not giving you a heads up. It’s happened with Sophos as well, but that was many months ago. I figured a lot of AVs did since it touches WD settings.
