[QUOTE="danb, post: 987293, member: 62850"] This was supposed to be a fun thread, and we are way off topic, but I will say one last thing. When we first started developing VS, we blocked a lot of potentially dangerous items globally. The problem was that blocking items globally broke a lot of stuff on endpoints, and we quickly realized that was a really bad idea, and that we had to find a better way. Every app has its strengths and weaknesses, for example, I LOVE OSA’s anti-exploit feature (for obvious reasons ;)). Having weaknesses does not mean the whole app is weak or bad, it simply means that certain features are not optimal. Just look at ticklemefeet’s post above and ask yourself, which scenario would you prefer? Scenario 1: Block DefenderUI from running powershell Block malware from using powershell Scenario 2: Allow DefenderUI to use powershell Block malware from using powershell I apologize if I hurt your feelings, that was not my intention. The reason I used the word stupid is because that is honestly the best word that I could find that describes what I think of blocking globally. [/QUOTE]
