msi files NOT blocked by S.A.P.
« on: September 29, 2021, 06:19:49 AM »
I noticed in my own testing that S.A.P. doesn't block msi files. Nor does it block the command lines they start.

My request is for S.A.P. to start blocking msi files in the next update to it.

I fiddle with whitelisting software.

Thank you for the advice.

SecureAPlus is capable of blocking msi files.

For signed msi, if the vendor's digital certificate is trusted, it will not get blocked.
To check, the user can right-click on a msi file, and set the trust level to untrusted, and run the msi again.

MSI files, check on virustotal, find samples on malware bazzar. They're all malware, but none of these are blocked by S.A.P. right now

It's a simple fix. Just don't allow any MSI's to run unless they're signed and thumbprinted by a trusted vendor.
