[QUOTE="silversurfer, post: 1058367, member: 26718"] Regarding users privacy, automatically allowing all signed processes/programs via Firewalls can be a risk when software does too much "phone home" about users activity while you use this software, but all depends on your trust for any software ;) Regarding security, nowadays malware is also signed in widespread attacks even against home users, so that would be for sure a higher risk in general when we automatically allowing signed processes/files and even popular software could be abused(manipulated) for malicious purposes...
