[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1026471"] That is true no matter what method is used to block a process. You disable the blocking mechanism, install the software, then re-enable the protection. It cannot get any more simple. Like a light switch. "On-Off-On." The process of installs is no different than using other methods to block such as SRP, any of the hardening utilities available, anti-executables, Group Policy and so on. Lots of people who have managed Windows systems and enterprises block 150+ processes globally and they have zero troubles. Then there are those unmanaged users (home users) that block the entire LOLBin list (e.g. using Hard_Configurator) without a single issue. They can sort out any "blocks" and they find it perfectly trouble-free. Microsoft created S Mode - deliberately to prevent users from downloading stuff from non-Microsoft sources - like drivers. It was, and remains, the most secure version of Windows. I get that lots of users cannot resolve issues based solely on block event logs nor do they want a system that prevents them from installing stuff. Not everybody has the inclination, the aptitude nor the desire. For those users, they are best served by a default allow solution such as F-Secure or Kaspersky. That said, every user has to decide for themselves what works best for them personally. [/QUOTE]
