What are "image file execution options" ?
I have software installed that prevents certain executable files from running if the file names are manually added to the block list. I'm actually struggling to understand how this works. I've done some digging about and I see entries listed as shown in the screenshot:
What are "Image Executions Debugger" and "Kernel Autoboot" ?
The software has no running process and doesn't appear in Task Manager so I'm trying to understand how it works. How does it block processes when it doesn't appear to have it's own running process?
Example usage:
I often install free software and then either keep it if I find it of use or remove it otherwise. It seems that a few times per year I'll end up installing some unwanted toolbar or PUP that has been bundled with a program's installer. So I've tried a few methods to block installation of unwanted toolbars when installing such software.
An example might be Photofiltre - it installs Ask Toolbar with no chance to opt out of the installation (last time I checked anyway) but using the software that I'm trying out results in the program installing cleanly without the toolbar.
