[QUOTE="ebocious, post: 775835, member: 75834"] Yeah, I suspect your experience with VoodooShield is rather limited. Because you don't even realize what you're saying when you talk about people who can't do anything beyond opening their browsers and using MS Office. Those people won't get any alerts with VS, unless a file is actually infected. And if that ever does happen, they won't get an allow/deny request; they'll get a notification that it was blocked. In order to open the file, they actually have to click on the alert, then click yes, and then click "yes, I know what I'm doing." I agree that HMPA is inadequate. But its test is a quick fail if your AV doesn't catch it. Avast's hardened mode doesn't, and neither does Kaspersky. If you want more tests, watch Cruelsister's videos. And I don't put much stock in syshardener, either. Most of its settings are more reliably applied manually, as the app doesn't always succeed at pushing them through. And how about sharing these SRP tweaks you refer to? [/QUOTE]
