[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 849263, member: 32260"] How do you imagine the effectiveness of OSA if it would not block many new applications? If it would be easy to see what is legitimate and what is malicious then there would not be any problem with malware. There are many applications already whitelisted by OSA due to cooperation with MT and Wilderssecurity members. But, there will be more new applications for sure. It is not a compatibility risk, because when you install something with H_C in Recommended or Enhanced settings, then most H_C restrictions do not apply to the installation process - the same is true for manual updates (or auto-updates via scheduled tasks, other auto-updates are blocked). After the installation, you can whitelist anything you want by path or by hash. Just install an application and add it to the whitelist if necessary. Make manual updates, and that is all. No, compatibility issues. You will probably have more compatibility issues with OSA because when the application is auto-updating the OSA rules are not released for the update processes, which can break sometimes the update in the middle. As I already mentioned, the real advantage of OSA can be seen in the enterprise environment, where the malware can attack the computer with high privileges from the network and there is a much greater risk of exploiting the unpatched software/system via high privilege vulnerabilities.
