A long time ago, someone posted a link to a program that prevents programs from being loaded on Windows

Sorry to interupt the Lounge; I remember a long time ago, someone posted a link to a app that prevents people from loading programs on windows 7+ It was written by a Code Project member that hangs out here. I think it was in response to the Russian app that encrypts your hard drive and demands a payment to unlock it. I downloaded it years ago, and put it on this girls computer that I deemed reckless, and it works like a charm, but I can't locate the program or remember the name of it so I can load it on another computer in the warehouse. Here's the story, Literally, somebody walked in the warehouse and connected a phone or something in the USB port and loaded a nasty app that tapped the internet connection, created a sql database, and made recording. Then it called home and transferred the data home to Poland.

As you should be. There was important business going on. :doh: Now I have to start over counting.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Unfortunately, that only works for applications that use Windows Installer. If they use something else (Inno Setup for example), the install can go skip past the group policy block.

That's not going to stop programs that don't use an MSI, though. :) A Software Restriction Policy[^] would probably be a better approach: How to create an Application Whitelist Policy in Windows[^]

Even better. That's probably what the OP is looking for: a UI (possibly created by a CP member) that helps set the whitelist.

A long time ago, someone said something on the internet -- can you help me find it?

I don't get it. A creep walked into your girl's warehouse and install malware into her computer? Why use a cryptoprevent program when you should simply turn on bitlocker on your girl's computer? This unknown person will not be to walk into the warehouse and mess with it then. :-D Of course, this unknown person can bring it home if he wants. I am worried with your girl's home security.
