We've extended the amount of files recognized by the ThreatLocker service when Windows flags the file as being executed and the process is Window's explorer. This may lead to an increase in logs and denies on your machines. If you're experienceing issues, please reach out to a Cyber Hero for help.
Latest Version 7.9.0.1581
