Advice Request What should I shield in Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit?

[Deleted Member 333v73x]

Hello everyone I was wondering what you have shielded in Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. Thank you in advance.

Nice question.
Well it come with many predefined application listings. That should be enough. But if you want to shield more applications which only communicate to internet and if you don't trust them, then you can link them on demand. For example shielding Torrent downloaders and non listed apps might be a case.

Imo keep Anti-Exploit by defaul cuz they block knew viruses scripts with other programs can be confused...

7 zip, all adobe software(almost except photoshop maybe), word, excell (libreoffice or openoffice too), all browsers, skype, steam. And probably a lot of other software but I can't find them in my brain atm haha.

Just look at the software and try to think if a exploit could happen on the software.

Adobe products, plus any software that utilizes flash.
I recommend shielding all game clients as well, ie: Steam, Origin, Uplay, and GOG galaxy Client (If installed)

Ok.

What about Sandboxie, my vpn application I use, SUMo updater, Macrium Reflect, QuickPar, Revo Uninstaller Pro, Unchecky, and Ad Guard ?

A good question about MBAE is what all the advaned settings are and do we keep those default in cases where the software is in the "other" dropdown category? Should we modify the advanced settings in MBAE for other. I've always wondered that just never asked. I knew what most if not all the settings are from reading up on it and just knowing what the majority were to begin with, but when it comes to the other category for specific software I'm rather baffled on how to set it up without knowing the specific exploits or vulnerabilities for that software which would require some research for each software that fits in the other category. Jw if anyone had some insight on the other category and if it needs to be tweaked or do we just keep it default?

As much as possible, the default settings of MBAE is already effective on that case; considering a typical exploit should undergone the process of bypass where common target attacks should covered.

This is a sample work which been created to test the exploit capabilities (not a virus or real exploit) Link (see post # 11)

Read Post 8 and 9 from link @jamescv7 provided above.

Custom shields can be created in MBAE Premium and For Business for any number of third-party or legacy applications. It is suggested to do so for Internet-facing applications and not for Operating System components.
