In reply to shozii12761. I don't know. If you are using the hash, it should be blocked no matter what is is named. Does anyone else have a thought on this?

Hi, I am able to block fsquirt.exe file as per the above guidelines, but once i copied the file somewhere else and rename it. This file opens. Please note i have added the hash of file as file. Please guide what i have missed?

It’s a nice guide except, if I were you, I’d change the very first part where it says “open REGEDIT” so that it says “open GPEDIT.msc”
