JeremyNicoll 45 Report post Posted February 1, 2018 What sort of behaviour do you want to be monitored, and why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xeon 3 Report post Posted February 1, 2018 Being a browser I would think everything that can be monitored. It is not a system process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 45 Report post Posted February 1, 2018 But, being a browser, wouldn't you have to allow anything/everything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, then everything will be automatically allowed. Keep in mind that EAM doesn't monitor malicious scripts running in the browser, and can't tell the difference between normal browser activity and malicious browser activity (<- this statement is slightly misleading, as browsers themselves are not malicious, and is not intended to suggest that browsers actually act maliciously). The Behavior Blocker protects your computer by monitoring unknown processes for potentially malicious behavior, and not by scrutinizing browsers. Trying to block behavior of a browser will simply results in problems during normal usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think this is a minor bug; "This is a system process and therefore monitoring is not supported." Thanks GT500, you explained a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 500 Report post Posted February 3, 2018 We'll look in to why it's showing as a System process. It's more than likely, as you said, a minor bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeremyNicoll 45 Report post Posted February 3, 2018 I wonder if there's a difference between rules that existed before the merged app rules/BB screen was invented, and those that get displayed from now on? I've lots of programs whcih say "Monitored" but also have the green tick (pity one can't sort on that column) saying they are digitally signed. And also quite a few 'Trusted' programs which don't have a tick - does that mean things I previously defined a rule for myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xeon 3 Report post Posted February 3, 2018 Possibly on the first sentence. On the second, i have not defined any rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Behavior Blocker automatically allows any "trusted" processes, even though they are monitored. Excluded processes are not monitored, as they should not be monitored for one reason or another.

We do not want it to be easy for criminals to abuse them. They are, after all, used by software companies to establish trust and help users validate where software came from and that it has not been tampered with.
