Vista issue with exe's and protection software

SlyTX · Post by **SlyTX** » 02 Apr 2007, 00:10

Im having trouble with the, in my opinion, over active protection software that comes turned on by default in Vista. Ive turned off the windows firewall and windows defender and tried to atleast reduce the protection because often times its blocking things that I intend to be doing, or making me work around it. Specific problem is extracting an exe file from winrar. It extracts all the files except the exe because its detecting it as something malicious (its a binder). The exe's just aernt appearing.

well, that's one of the "great" new features of Vista, you as a user are under disability......Vista can decide what files are "unwanted" and deletes them, and you can do nothing against it. I don't know a hack to evade this, but I am sure there will be one sooner or later...(but I have to admit I am not too familiar with Vista yet, maybe one of the other users know a way already).

what's the point of using Vista when you have to disable all the "security" features? What in Vista is better then XP?

DirectX 10 i guess

eventually all the programs made will be incompatible with XP, won't happen until Vista is the new "standard" though, won't happen in a FEW years anyway.

Can't come up with anything more :/

EDIT: The security is there for a reason, "common" users should not disable it.

i heard in some podcast that hardware manufacturers would have to buy licenses of they wanted their grapchiccards and memorys to work, is that true?
so if you bought a graphiccard and the manufacturer stopped paying (annually) your card wouldn't work anymore, and that sounds very weird to me
