Buddel Posted November 23, 2015 ID:1003148 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Is there a reason why e-mail programs such as Thunderbird and Windows Live Mail are not included in the list of shielded applications? Maybe the most important e-mail applications should be added to this list. Regarding PDF viewers, it would be nice if PDF-XChange Viewer could be added to the list of shielded applications. This PDF viewer is used by quite a lot of people. Thanks you. Buddel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddel Posted November 23, 2015 Author ID:1003159 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Adding e-mail programs to the list of MBAE default protection is meant to be a suggestion, so I thought posting it under "Comments and Suggestions" was the right place for suggestions. And no, it's not meant to be a "support" question, it's just a suggestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted November 23, 2015 ID:1003160 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Is there a reason why... Is a MBAE support question and is based upon one's understanding of what an "exploitation" attempt is and why an email client is different than a file editor or content viewer.

Buddel Posted November 23, 2015 Author ID:1003161 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Nope, the first words of the sentence are just leading up to the acutal suggestion. Anyway, if suggestions cannot be posted here, maybe a moderator can move it to a more appropriate place (wherever that might be). Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted November 24, 2015 Staff ID:1003203 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi Buddel, Basically the list of applications shielded by default from factory is a direct relation with applications that we've seen targeted in the wild with exploits. In some rare cases we've added applications by popular demand (some weird browser vendors, LibreOffice, etc.) and not because we've seen exploits in the wild for them. We could add some email clients in the future, but that would require a lot of testing on our part from QA perspective and we've just simply been focused on other things (adding new techniques, fixing bugs, etc.). But for the future we could probably add some of the more popular ones. PS: posting MBAE suggestions here is totally OK! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
