[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 518510"] The problem is Protected mode will allow installation of files digitally signed by one of the vendors included in the Trusted Publishers list. I don't know the exact details as to how it was accomplished, the un-signed *.dll was blocked but rundll32.exe (Guarded App) still managed to modify the Windows Remote Access services and the *.dll was loaded upon reboot. I don't know if the loading of the *.dll was tied to service start-up or something else. A user that runs AppGuard in Protected mode assumes - at the very least - some small risk of persistent infection. BRN incorporated Protected mode for those users that complain that their softs won't automatically update in Lock Down mode; they complain that they have to lower AppGuard from Lock Down to Install mode and then back again to Lock Down mode after update is complete. Rubenking from PCMag - for one - made a big hub-bub about it a few years ago... [/QUOTE]
