Hi guys, a weird file appears in my defense+ rules list. It has no name, has no path. It has an icon exe files usually have. It uses a custom policy and has everything set to “ask”, i changed every entry to “block”, pressed okey and tried to apply settings, but the “apply” button doesnt work, only option i had was to press cancel and everything was set to “ask” again.
And when i click on “protected registry keys”" in “access rights” ,it shows that it is allowed to access the following keys.
Can you please post a screenshot of this? and also export the configuration via More → Manage configurations → select the ‘active’ one and press ‘Export’ save it to disk somewhere.
If possible send me a PM so you can send me the config for investigation please.
Okey, but i noticed another thing, this file is listed between dev++.exe and its sub files, so i assume it belongs to dev++. I was having some issues with this software yesterday, which i explained in this thread.
I set it as “installer or updater” yesterday. And after few hours i needed to perform a system restore. And i just found out that its no longer accepted as “installer or update”, its on custom policy. I believe the settings were changed because of the restore process. Could this file be a result of that as well?. Are those register keys and files usually accessed by installers and updaters?
Seems like there is something wrong… can you import your configuration under a new name and switch that to ‘active’ and then see if you can ‘apply’ again?
If not I think uninstall/install would be the best route to go.
