| 1. Is Anti-Executable like an anti-virus / anti-spyware solution? |
| |
| Anti-Executable protects against all executable viruses. An antivirus program will detect smaller infractions in macros and scripts, which are not executables, and therefore are not blocked by Anti-Executable. |

|
| 2. I installed Anti-Executable and forgot my password; can you give me a password to turn Anti-Executable off? |
| |
| There are no backdoor passwords to Anti-Executable. For further information, contact our Technical Support department at support@faronics.com. |

| 3. Is there a method for turning off Anti-Executable all at once so that an entire lab can be upgraded or new software installed without going to each machine?
|
| |
Anti-Executable Enterprise is controlled centrally from Faronics Core Console. This console can be used to protect, unprotect, update, and view your Anti-Executable installed workstations. More detail on Faronics Core Console can be found in the users guide available for download from:
http://www.faronics.com/html/library.asp
Anti-Executable Standard does not include any inherent remote management utilities. Customers that require remote administrative abilities should investigate Anti-Executable Enterprise. |

| 4. If I currently have Group Policies in place, will it still offer any benefits? |
| |
Although Group Policy is widely used to restrict users, it has the following limitations:- needs constant policy updates
- has good control over Microsoft programs, but doesn’t control others very well
- Administrators accounts are still vulnerable to unwanted / unlicensed software
- might not restrict unwanted / unlicensed software installations if users log in locally
- can be counterproductive for users if computer is excessively locked down
In summary, Group Policy hardens a system; Anti-Executable adds teeth, but doesn’t require additional software updates to protect against blended threats or day-zero executable attacks. |
