&nbsp;Pre 7.9, an issue was identified with the detection and execution of .ocx files.&nbsp;
Some .ocx files were not being detected by Microsoft Windows as executing, and thus ThreatLocker was unable to secure those files or log the activity within the Unified Audit.&nbsp;
<h2>The ThreatLocker Solution</h2>
As a solution, ThreatLocker will now log all .ocx files as executables rather than read-only. This prevents .ocx files from running without being tracked or secured within the ThreatLocker platform.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A KnowledgeBase article is available if your business needs an immediate plan to allow .ocx files to run, along with options on how to create policies which will allow .ocx files.&nbsp;&nbsp;
