HI Guys As a new user of PG I went ahead and allowed it to load the default protections. On viewing them I noticed that blocked privileges are: "Write,Terminate, Suspend, Info" whilst allowed privileges in the c:\windows\system32 are "Read, Write, Terminate, Suspend, Get/setinfo". Have I missed something here ? As this will be a steep learning curve for me any enlightenment gratefully appreciated. Cheers.
Hi Whynot, You have not missed anything, the default settings are mainly for system files and are proven to be OK. Allow pribileges ONLY apply to other listed programmes wheryby a programme needs to access other listed programmes for whatevevr reason By watching the PG's window log when adding new programmes you will probably be able to make a judgement as to what flags need allowances for trusted programmes.

Hi Pilli. MichaelE here again. I did uninstall the old version and installed the 1.3 version. accepted the default protection. But when I now open PG I have nothing protected?? What have I done wrong Michael
Hi MichaelE, This requires a trip to the registry, as for some reason you were not asked if you required the default list First disable protection & close PG Look for this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Diamond Computer Systems\Process Guard Once you have navigated and opened it look for "BeenRun" double click it to open it and change the value data from 1 to 2 Restart process guard Not sure but you may need to reboot for the change to take effect.

Pilli, thank you for quick reply. Have followed your instruction , but PG protection list is still blanc Any further advice for me to solve this matter ?? Michael
Not sure why that is Anywat for now you can create the basic list using the information in the screanie below
Pilli.... I uninstalled the 1.3 version and made a new install. Was offered the general protection and accepted. All seems to be just fine now... One must never give up.. Once again thank you for your support in this matter. Michael
OK, The list might be ueful as people "practice" they can at least see what the default should look like Glad you got it sorted, Can't think why it did not do it the first time round
