    Is there a way to define a custom rule whereby I can get Threatfire to block a specific file from loading/executing?

    For example, say I want to block wuauclt.exe from executing. Is it possible to set a custom rule whereby TF will accomplish this blockage? If so, please walk me through the setting of such a rule.

    When any process

    tries to access | execute a file (only choose execute from the pop-up menu)

    named wuauclt.exe

    except when (deselect all choices)

    etc


    Save, shut down ThreatFire, wait 30 secs, enable TF

    Use explorer to double click wuauclt.exe and make the correct choices for TF to deal with

    Since wuauclt.exe is a systrem process, you may want to eneable this in the except when options to prevent lock out

    10Q Kees-san. I was hoping you would reply. :thumb:

    @jmonge - Shazam! I hadn't realized there was a service doing this. I found it & switched it from auto start to manual.

    @inka - Yeah, I said it was an example -- but I was being coy. :ninja: Sooo... INKA dinka -- DOO! :D :) ;) :D :p
