Sorry, guy. I am not sure it would help in cases like that. Sure enough, the digitally signing is an extra measure of protection. But the app that was hacked is already encrypted, app central has password protection for logging in, and there could be said a few things more techie about the matter. A hacker who knows to get through these steps, might know how to bypass signature stuff in an app.

Hi, yes, Version 8.5.9 is good. To make sure only digitally signed apps will ever run, we can do the following: 1. In the Window-Eyes control Panel, go to Apps / App Management / App Manager. 2. Make sure the Checkbox "Show more Options" is checked. 3. Activate the "security" button. 4. Set the security Level to "allow only trusted apps." 5. In the list of apps, go to one from GW Micro. 6. Check the "Publisher trusted" Checkbox. (Repeat steps 5 and 6 for any other Publisher that you trust. Any other apps will not run.) 7. Activate the "OK" button. 8. Activate the "Close" button to Close App Manager. Now anything that hasn't been digitally signed by a trusted Publisher will not run. For example, this would have protected against the recent Problem. Kind regards, Felix Grützmacher If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
