Hi Ilya -

I've added my CD and DVD Drives as Untrusted folders. Seems like a good idea to me. Would you recommend that for new Users? What else would you recommend Users adding to the untrusted list that isn't already added or mentioned by you (email clients, p2p clients, webbrowsers etc) ?

I've added my sensitive and important data to the "Secured Files" list. And I've even added my Antivirus folder to the list Just to try and help it out ;) Does that sound like a good idea?

Yes, it is possible to add CD/DVD as untrusted. It will protect from autoruned programs.

In fact, the list I've described is the only people need. The thing is that untrusted should be the applications connected with the agressive environment- just downloaded software from the unknown sources, browsers, e-mail clients, p2p clients, IRC clients. They are or potentially containing malware, or potentially vulnerable, or you can potentially run malware with it by mistake.

Well, it is good desicion. Even if malware try to modify AV's databases- it will fail.

Hi Ilya,

I've already protected all the sensitive files within this folder.
