Purge doesn't purge enough

A. THE BUG/ISSUE:

  1. What you did: Defense+ tab / Computer Security Policy / Defense+ Rules / Purge button
  2. What actually happened or you actually saw: After a few seconds, a list of no longer existing files is displayed
  3. What you expected to happen or see: The list is built only from the entries listed in Defense+ Rules. It’s good but it should also be built from the “Run an executable” entries of every primary entry. For example, the “Run an executable” for explorer.exe contains 129 allowed exe and 3 blocked exe in my case. Among these 129+3 files, some are no longer existing files, but are not listed by Purge. They should be.
  4. How you tried to fix it & what happened: Too long to fix manually :frowning:
  5. If a software compatibility problem have you tried the compatibility fixes (link in format)?: N/A
  6. Details & exact version of any software (execpt CIS) involved (with download link unless malware): N/A
  7. Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so precise steps to make it happen: see #3
  8. Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons): see #3

B. FILES APPENDED. (Please zip unless screenshots).:

  1. Screenshots of the Defense plus Active Processes List (Required for all issues): really useless for this report
  2. Screenshots illustrating the bug: attached
  3. Screenshots of related CIS event logs: really useless for this report
  4. A CIS config report or file: ?
  5. Crash or freeze dump file: N/A

We have moved your post to:

  • The Wishlist as this seems to us a wish for functionality outside the current design of CIS rather than a defect or deficiency in the current design

OK.
Can this restricted behavior be added to CIS online help?
