[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 553054, member: 32260"] If Your portable programs do not update frequently the best way is to whitelist them by hash. Also, many portable applications work well in "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" - sometimes You need to change the folder where the application saves its settings etc. , because in above folders the Administrative Rights are needed. Some programs are wrapped and have to use TEMP folder in the User Space to execute (most frequently it is ...\AppData\Local\Temp). Execution in the TEMP folder will be blocked by SRP, so the unwrapped file should be whitelisted by hash too. Usually, such files are quickly deleted, so utilities similar to "Moo0 FileMonitor" or Excubits MZWriteScanner may be needed to detect which files were temporary dropped to TEMP folder. [/QUOTE]
