@rugk

 

Thanks

 

I hadn't had a chance to try the approaches mentioned

and was only trying to relay how I was thinking before posting to this fine forum

but what you have done is exactly what I had in mind

I will change block to ask so I can control the rule enforcement on a case by case

but you nailed it.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info guys!

 

I'll try that

cause the task scheduler service uses "C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"

could'nt figure how to make that would work in a rule set

 

I'll post back the results

 

Thanks again

Hi,

 

runnning windows 7 x64bit & ESET trial

 

I'm testing ESEt because I was hoping ESET offered windows task scheduler protection

I basically need protection from google, opera and any app ftm enabling task without my permission.

 

the ESET HIPS rule editor seems promising as a way to be prompted.

but I'm not sure how to make this work

do I prevent apps writing to the %SystemRoot%\Tasks folder

or what?

 

and if so how?

 

has ESET vets played with this?

 

or can offer assistance / solution ?
