[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 518653, member: 7463"] h- You're not in any way grumpy!!! you like the application and want them to strive to close up loopholes in protection; personally I would expect no less from you as you very, very obviously know what you are doing. Regarding the Lockdown Mode, a few people had PM'd me back when they though of doing that and they were quite upset, understandably so. But even Lockdown has it's disadvantages if a previously Trusted program runs malware on its own, and there's really nothing that can be done about this, just like a high certificate app going rogue. But my continuing concern with the Anti-exe class is that although a competent user knows what and what not to do, a rookie will tend to just use install mode to run a blocked application, a decision that may end in Tears. But even the experienced user may just run that Document or spreadsheet and have data stolen without a peep from AG (I'm still proud that I actually remembered to blur out my GreyHat server; it could potentially have sucked big time if i forgot!). So personally I would prefer to run something like Shadow defender then running AG in Lockdown continually. A lot less issues, you can see what you are installing and total protection is but a reboot away (although an Outbound Firewall would be needed, but that's a truism). Anyway, you Social Graces seem fine to me and it means a great deal that you appreciated the video. M [/QUOTE]
