    This is one of my bugbears about this product; if the user is presented with allow or deny on an unknown file, how can they make a good decision based on that? When I tested BPS some time ago, it flagged some well-known files as unknown and presented the allow/deny selection box. I'd have thought the AV and/or heuristics would have helped even then. (I allowed the file as I knew what it was [Works wordprocessor file], but someone less experienced might not.)

    It should be effective against for a silent ( non-user triggered ) remote code execution.
