Blocking installation of programs. Prevent installation of unwanted programs using AppLocker. Methods for enabling protection from unverified programs

Golovna / Basic functionality

Hello, friends! I decided to open this section because of this article, since the discussed topic is now even more relevant. There are also Mail.ru and other companies that are doing dishonest things to benefit their employees. Well, and especially about AppLocker itself, as it helps to combat the installation and launch of unwanted programs.

There have long been strange rumors and thoughts about the Mail.ru group of companies about their aggressive and dishonest marketing, not only in relation to their competitors, but also, most importantly, in relation to the profiteers themselves. And the fact is that on the tenth day of the birth of this fate, simply re-converting me to the writing of this article.

Blame it all on the tricleseGuardі Downloader from Mail.ru /as well as the Amigo browser/ . Everything on the right is that there are no “corrosive” (according to the claims of the distributors) programs, which are treated differently, as if they were worthless objects. Let's talk briefly. For example, you thought about installing a mail agent. If you want, you install, and here you will find something else - in addition to the agent itself, a bunch of other gadgets are installed on your computer: a companion, a toolbar, a guard, and so on. According to the statements of representatives of mail.ru, if you uncheck these programs before installing the main program, then they will not be installed. It’s true that it won’t be like this ever again. Evidence of this is without any angry replies, sounds or glances from this drive.

Ale head "kozir" mail.ru - tse GuardMailRu (nibito zakhisnik). For the sake of fairness, it is important to note that it protects against unauthorized changes to the home page of the browser, for example, or against unauthorized changes to the search engine. Well, that’s the whole problem. Almost without the knowledge of the customer, he installs the starting side (can you guess which one?), and the axis is changed and protected. Also with a joke about getting dressed. Moreover, it not only steals, but removes everything previously installed module Vid Yandex, Rambler etc.

It would seem that the devil would be the same function (from one side). Ale on the right is that when the Guard is removed, it turns again in a magical manner. And that's it - your starting page for Mail.ru =)

If you want to know a little about information security, you should remember the harmful nature of all these actions, which is characteristic of viruses and Trojans. For example:

installation without the knowledge of the koristuvach;
change of adjustment of the koristuvach without the knowledge of the ruler;
a range of third-party add-ons;
There is no possibility of deleting using standard OS features.

That's not all! Naismack in front.

As it turns out, mail.ru has one more “add-on” - Downloader (Zavantazhuvach). And this is already, in my opinion, real cheating on the side of this company. The axis, for example, walks through the Internet from various resources around, looks for necessary information, and then - bam - a message pops up that you need to update, Mozilla, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc., and the whole thing looks like official. ALE! The download comes not from the official site, but from partner sites mail.ru, and the download is, of course, not the update, but the “Internet Browser” (well, you guessed the name =)) /nini tse Browser Amigo/ everything is the same with Mail.ru! Naturally, with its own toolbar and another unnecessary “guide”, such as [email protected].

Merezha is already walking around without any pictures and memes from this drive. The axis is like this:

You ask, why don’t antiviruses block and bark? And why (and this is even more shocking). It appears that everything is pseudo-updated Signing with a valid and legitimate digital signature of Mail.Ru! Therefore, antiviruses, especially with this signature, naturally trust an infected and running application.

And now tell me, why aren’t these shahrai’s deeds? Isn’t this a deception of the koristuvachs? Chi not introduced into Oman?

“We didn’t start here” (c)

This is the case with the Mail.ru internet service, which is directly related to the development of the downloader, based on the authoritative Internet portal on the numerous claims and real facts, based on the analysis of the code and behavior of this “Zavantazhuvach”, I let me boldly say: Downloader from Mail.ru is nothing more than a Trojan!

Companies seem to need to monetize their projects. The axis and the direction of “affiliate programs” were to promote a way of earning money to various resources, with the help of the “vendor”.

It's all about pies, friends. You can read a report about everything on various resources like Habr. Well, let's move on to practice.

Ale first, for the sake of fairness, it is important to note that such aggressive marketing was not really invented by mail.ru. Yandex, for example, also has its own “Zakhisnik”. Various services such as AOL, Ask.com, ICQ, etc. You can also choose to install your own toolbars or programs from third-party software, and this has been a long time coming. But what they went for in Mail.ru is obviously deceiving the prosperous people with mercy updates of third-party programs - this is, of course, nonsense.

So let's fight for more AppLocker help!

Most users who actively surf the Internet understand that UAC (cloud access control), administrator rights, and also know and understand that when any software is installed, it is not possible to Click on the "further" button, and be careful look at everything, uncheck unnecessary boxes. After all, we all have friends, relatives, fathers, clients, who would never guess about such speeches.

I, in order to protect them from such misfortunes, we quickly local safety policy і . I’ll tell you straight away that this only works on Windows 7 operating systems (Maximum and Enterprise). I can’t say anything about Windows 8 without testing it.

This technique is unlikely to be suitable for those who regularly install software and games on their computers, because there will be a lot between the koristuvach's actions. Rich people are more comfortable with their jobs, because they cope with their tasks miraculously and do not suffer from any incompetence.

To get started, we will need to create an XML file (if you don’t want to bother with creating it, you can download it). For this purpose we copy this code. The code is timely visible through problems with images. Download the prepared xml file.

Then we open a standard notepad (or better yet, use Notepad++) and paste the code into the new copy. Further embossed: File - Save as...

It is necessary to save the file in UTF-8 encoding, otherwise it will not be deleted when importing rules. Coding (in Notepad) can be changed in the menu that appears using the “Save” button

We enter more names (for example, blockmailru.xml) and save them in whatever place is convenient for us, for example, on the desktop. That's it, we have the file ready.

Now you need to start the service And set it to automatic startup mode, otherwise the AppLocker function will not work. To start this service, open: Server Panel – Administration – Services:

When you click on “Program Update” with your mouse, the window for the authorities of this service will open. Now you need to start this service and set its startup type to automatic. Tisnemo run:

Don't forget to click "OK" =)

If the service is already running, it is necessary to set it to automatic startup type, as shown in the picture below. The startup type for this service is set to “Manual”.

We've all finished our services for today. Now you need to import the creations from the previous list (which we previously called blockmailru.xml) from AppLocker. For whom we open: Control Panel – Administration – Local Security Policy. Shukaemo: Program servicing policies - AppLocker:

Right-click on “AppLocker” and select “Import policy...”. After that, in the window, you need to point the blockmailru.xml file to the creation and open it. The system will prompt you to change the policy and notify you that all existing policy rules will be replaced. We'll wait. That's it. The main part of the work was carried out. In the "Victorian Rules" you will see the following picture:

The same picture will appear in the section “Windows Installer Rules”

As can be seen in the screenshot, the rules have the following item: Allow – All – D:Portable Soft*. Here's a rule about this: It is allowed to launch any kind of program from the Portable Soft folder, located in the root of drive D. This rule is necessary for launching portable programs (those that run without installation). Or, for example, to allow installation of these programs, installers for which you place in this folder.

You also need to enable this rule. It's really easy to give up. Create a folder wherever is most convenient for you (even on your desktop). Name it anyway (on the "Portable" command-line) and place all the portable programs and installers you trust in it. Then we open it again (as if it was closed): Service panel – Administration – Local security policy – Security policies for add-ons – AppLocker. On “Create rules” press the right mouse button and select “Create a new rule...”. Everything is simple there: stamp “dali”, then “dali”, then put a tick in the “Ways” box, again “dali” and “Look at folders”. A window will open in which you will need to enter the same folder and again “next”, “next”, and at the final stage “create”. The rule has been created. In reality, everything is simpler than simple. Before that, it’s time to create, or edit such rules, you can make excuses, allow or block paths (folders), etc.

You also need to create such programs, which are installed not in Program Files, but, for example, in C:\Users\im'ya_koristuvach\AppData\Local\Apps\. Please note, if after making adjustments your program does not start, please add to the rules for adjustment. Similar to how we added permissions for the "Portable" folder

Let us now be somewhat clear about what we have achieved with all these manipulations and what is now blocked for us and what is allowed:

blocking startup and installation any programs from such types as: CNET, AOL, SweetIM, Uniblue, ASK, Mail, Messenger Plus, Hamster, Mediaget, Reg Organaizer. All these sellers are guilty of unscrupulous actions (the installation is also taken into account). The list can be independently supplemented and edited;
you are allowed to run all programs that are installed in Program Files, Windows and in the folder (directory) that you have added yourself;
Allowed to launch any programs by the local administrator (or the administrator's cloud account)
It is allowed to download Windows installer files (.msi files) with a digital signature;
It is allowed to download Windows installer files with a digital signature that are located in the Installer directory (in the Windows folder);
Allowed to run any Windows installer files by the local administrator (the administrator's cloud account).

Thus, no Guards, "zakhishniks", left browsers from mail.ru, from Yandex, satellites, Yandex-bars and other unnecessary machines, no longer appear on your computer or on your loved ones and friends. All programs from designated video providers can no longer penetrate the computer, according to the rules; the stinks will simply be blocked.

With any software installed check the boxes first Be careful not to install third-party software.

And remember one of the main rules - download software ONLY from official sites.

If you have any questions regarding these instructions, feel free to ask them in the comments or through.

See you soon!

Have a nice day.

Situations often get aggravated when a number of employees work at the same computer. And it often happens that some of them are permanently installed on the device as a security program, not just “opening doors” for viruses, or simply destroying the hard drive. This version of the operating system from Microsoft comes with a number of tools that allow you to provide more guidance. We will tell you how to protect the installation of programs on Windows 7 for other users. Believe me, allowing such a move will significantly improve safety.

One of the simplest ways to exchange funds with other clients is to create group policies. To achieve the required effect, select the following steps:

This allows you to completely protect the installation of any PZ on the unit. To turn everything back into place, you need to switch the ensign back. Another effective way is to reinstall the operating system with a forward format of the head drive.

Fence of the singing oblikovy record( )

Windows x64 also has the ability to apply protection for a specific user. For which it is necessary to earn a few funds:

We open " Viconati"that is spelled out" mmc».

Then go to the tab “ File And select “”.

The required panel will appear.

Select "" and " Add».

A new window will open, as indicated Look around" We need the "" tab. Then we indicate a reliable correspondent. We confirm our intentions.

Virus in " File"ta" This is called equipping with additional units.

Now we repeat all the points indicated in the previous method. Ale now the fence is no longer wider for a specific koristuvach.

Batkivsky control( )

As you know, this gives the ability to quickly and simply limit the possibility of installation to the primary customer.

Registry editor( )

In no less effective way is vikoristannya Registry editor" Where is this tool located and how to vikorize it? It's simple:

If you download any software that is downloaded automatically and freely from the Internet, it cannot be installed.

Please note that this tool allows you to block the installation of any programs without a password.

In this case, it is important to note that when left unchecked, some items may vary slightly. For example, the “Maximum” and “Home Basic” versions vary. Although unimportant at this point, traders will definitely figure out the sequence of actions.

In connection with this, a lot of tools have been transferred to the operating system itself, additional software on this topic has been split up, but still there has not been mass praise, and that simply does not benefit from popularity. Suddenly we couldn’t see the connection behind the additional program.

If after reading the article you have lost your nutrition, you can watch the video on this topic.

Unchecky is a cost-free program for preventing the installation of potentially unwanted software (PUP) on your computer. Dosit often, such situations occur when various programs, toolbars, etc., penetrate the computer in a not entirely direct way.

The Unchecky program unchecks the boxes when installing programs on your computer, and makes recommendations for installing unnecessary programs.

Many people have probably encountered this situation many times when they discovered new programs on their computer. Moreover, such additions were installed in this way, often without any explicit knowledge of the clerk.

Virators of programs, the value of which is not always obvious, from toolbars to browsers, which also have questionable value, often integrate their programs into installers, mostly of free programs. Of course, before installing in a similar way, you will need to use the same complete programs, and such programs can be installed, as required, on your computer in a similar way.

Developers of cost-free programs, who supplement their installers with similar additional software, thus make money, often for the development of their product, which they take for the price of developers of other programs that are additionally installed.

You may have often encountered a situation where, when installing any program, the Installation Master windows prompt you to install additional software. In such cases, it is often necessary to install various software (PUP - Potentially Unwanted Program), which is not at all necessary for the user.

Our customers are very careful to always follow the installation wizard when installing new programs on their computer. Few proven kristuvachs do not fight for this respect for an hour. Then they are amazed that new programs or toolbars appear on their computers in browsers that they did not install.

Virobniks often play tricks by promoting their choices for installing programs. For example, the following options are often suggested: initial or automatic installation (recommended) and selective installation (for the approval of the customer).

Automatic installation (recommended) - with this option, along with the installation program, additional programs will be automatically installed.
Vibration installation (for additional customers) - you yourself can determine the proportions at those points where you will be required to install additional programs.

In some situations, such as when all proportions are removed, such as unneeded software, additional programs still need to be installed.

You could just put up with the installation of certain programs. More information about how you can delete them from your computer. Also, “discreet” programs install toolbars in browsers, change the settings or start page of the browser. The implementation of such unnecessary programs is often even more important.

The Unchecky program is designed to prevent unwanted programs from being installed on your computer. The program supports the Russian one.

All settings are restored after restarting the service.

After installing the Unchecky program on your computer, the hosts file, which is located in the Windows folder, will contain additional rules added there by the Unchecky program. These rules serve to block the installation of unwanted software on the customer’s computer.

Blocking due to installation of potentially unnecessary programs

Now, when new programs are installed on your computer, all the provisions for installing additional programs will be taken into account. During the process of installing new programs on your computer, you will not need to work with the target, while selecting unnecessary, additional and advertising offers.

If, at the time of installing new programs on your computer, the installer’s warehouse of the programs that are being installed will have proposals for installing additional programs, then you will be able to install Unchecky programs that have opened.

Who knows about the installation of a potentially unnecessary program. In the area of information, you will receive information from Unckecky about those who propose to install potentially unnecessary treatment programs. You can click on the notice to find out the details.

In this case, if such propositions about the installation of additional software will be closed, then they will be openly displayed in the Unchecky programs, in which you will be informed about the type of these propositions.

As such, the potentially unwanted program will not be installed on your computer.

The Unchecky program, importantly, reliably blocks the way for potentially unwanted programs to penetrate your computer. In some cases, third-party software can still be installed on the computer. The developer of the Unchecky program - Michael Maltsev (RaMMicHaeL) reports that he is working on improving his programs to more reliably protect against such penetration.

Visnovki statistics

The cost-free program Unchecky removes installed potentially unnecessary programs on the client’s computer. Unchecky automatically unchecks the boxes when third-party software is installed.

Windows 10 is a very flexible operating system and gives users with the necessary administrator rights a lot of freedom and space for various experiments, customization and personalization. At the same time, Windows can greatly limit the user, as required by the administrator or computer manager. For example, Windows 10 Creators Update has the ability to prevent the installation of add-ons that are not purchased from the Windows Store.

How to protect installation and launch of programs in Windows

When choosing a product, there are three options:

Between the programs that are launched, you need to take care of a number of points:

All programs that were installed behind additional files that need to be saved (exe, msi, etc.) before you made the change will continue to launch and run without delay. There is no need to download installation files. However, after permanent blocking, they will not be subject to a new policy for installing add-ons.
Only files and programs that have been downloaded/installed are blocked after activation of the exchange.
If the user ignores advances and gives the system the option to sign out the file or run the program, it will be placed in the white list and will no longer be blocked. This is a method to relieve the power of the computer from constantly annoying notifications and the need to constantly bypass boundaries.
Customers whose cloud account does not have administrator rights cannot change these parameters, as changes made will apply to all registered profiles on the computer. When you try to change it, the system will ask you to enter the administrator password.

It's time to demarcate

Windows itself indicates the power supply:

By installing just the programs that are available in the Store, you can steal your computer and ensure its uninterrupted operation.

Such a mechanism is ideal for monitoring the child’s cloud storage, for example, whose failure can lead to the appearance of unnecessary or faulty programs on the computer. If you have an episode, you yourself can figure out why your episode may require the removal of supplements. Ours on the right is more important in order to show how to work and what nuances are associated with this process.

How to allow installation of any programs in Windows 10

Quite simply. Complete all the information you have completed in the following instructions:

Open up Parameters - Programs - Programs and capabilities.
Select item Allow vikorist programs from whatever place.

After this restriction will be removed and you will be able to install programs from any devices.

Maintaining the safety of your computer system has always been the most important thing for a business owner. Apparently, viruses that penetrate the middle of the gadget can bring a lot of discomfort to your owner. There are no ways to 100% protect your desktop from the penetration of malicious programs, but there are also ways to maximize resistance to them.

The most accessible one is to protect installed programs in Windows 7. This can be achieved absolutely cost-free, and a program that will help you with this is already available on most versions of Windows. The principle of this action is incredibly simple: it is impossible to acquire any programs without the permission of the owner. And then you will not face such a problem as the appearance, as well as other problems, such as bringing viruses. How can you earn money? Let's get along.

How to establish boundaries

To get started, you need to open the “Local Security Policy” window. To do this, go to “Start” - “Control Panel” - “System and Security”. Then go to “Administration”, and there you will see “Local security policy” - “Policy of local security programs”. On this row, right-click and create a new shared program policy.

Now you need to install settings for the new policy. To do this, click on the “Zastosuvannya” row and put a tick in the same places, which is a little lower.

Then go to the item “Assigned file types” and safely select the LNK extension. Then we go to the additional folder “Security Areas”, and on the right side of the window there is a sub-item “Secured” and it is assigned to the user (with the right mouse button).

That's all, now all users from your computer can run only the programs you install or build the system for you. They should be located in the Program Files and SystemRoot folders, or they may be distributed in other folders. If this is your fault, then the Raja will add this program to the list of those permitted. For this, in your own way, go to “Additional Rules” - “Im”, right-click on the empty field. Among other commands, select “Create a rule for the path”, and enter the path to the folder where the program is needed.

As you can see, there is absolutely nothing special about these activities. While these rules are very strong, please think about the extent to which you ensure the safety of your computer. For whose sake is there no harm in seeing a few pieces of your precious time today?

You can improve the security of your computer by installing . Here we will add more details to the descriptions!
