Anti-Executable Standard User Guide
Following installation, Anti-Executable is enabled by default only if Enable was selected in the
Automatic Scanning and White List Creation dialog during installation. Otherwise,
Anti-Executable cannot protect the machine. Administrators or Trusted users must select Enable
for White List protection to take place.
If Protection has been set to Enable and the Active White List is empty, only basic
system executables (e.g. boot-up, login) can be launched. Only Anti-Executable
Administrator and Trusted Users can manage White Lists.
Use the Remind Me after every check box to have Anti-Executable provide reminders on a
workstation to enable Protection if Protection is disabled.
Select Maintenance Mode and click Apply to run Anti-Executable in Maintenance Mode. When in
Maintenance Mode, new executable files added or modified are automatically added to the Active
White List. To exit Maintenance Mode, select Enable or Disable.
If Enable is selected, the changes are recorded by Anti-Executable. If Disable is selected, the
changes are not recorded by Anti-Executable.
If the computer is running in Maintenance Mode, and if the Protection is disabled,
the changes made to the workstation during Maintenance Mode are not added to
the Active White List.
Adequate time required for Windows Updates must be provided while running in
Maintenance Mode.
Anti-Executable Administrators can save multiple configurations which can be applied to other
machines. If a White List has been set as Active, it is also included in the configuration export.
To save an Anti-Executable configuration file, click Export in the Status tab after making
selections. The configuration file is saved in a proprietary format (.aecfg) to prevent tampering.
To open a previously defined configuration file (.aecfg), click Import and browse to a
configuration file.
Saving a configuration to XML only allows for viewing of the configuration
settings. XML configuration files cannot be applied to other machines.
Any changes made to the Anti-Executable settings will not take affect until you
click Apply.
