    with multiple words:
    Code:
    aspnet_compiler
attrib
auditpol
bash
bcdboot
bcdedit
bginfo
bitsadmin
bootcfg
bootim
bootsect
ByteCodeGenerator
cacls
cdb
certutil
csc
csi
dbghost
dbgsvc
debug
DFsvc
diskpart
dnx
eventvwr
fsi
fsiAnyCpu
hh
IEExec
iexplore
iexpress
ilasm
infdefaultinstall
InstallUtil
journal
jsc
kd
lpkinstall
mmc
msra
MSBuild
mshta
msiexec
mstsc
netsh
netstat
ntkd
ntsd
odbcconf
powershell
powershell_ise
PresentationHost
quser
rcsi
reg
RegAsm
regini
Regsvcs
regsvr32
RunLegacyCPLElevated
runscripthelper
schtasks
scrcons
script
sdbinst
sdclt
set
setx
Stash
syskey
systemreset
takeown
UserAccountControlSettings
utilman
vbc
visualuiaverifynative
vssadmin
wbemtest
windbg
wmic
xcacls


    So I will end with something like this:
    Code:
    <category>Vulnerable Processes</> <action>Ask</> <expression>[Proc.Name = at.exe] [Action = Ask]</> <enabled>1</> <comment></>
<category>Vulnerable Processes</> <action>Ask</> <expression>[Proc.Name = aspnet_compiler.exe] [Action = Ask]</> <enabled>1</> <comment></>
<category>Vulnerable Processes</> <action>Ask</> <expression>[Proc.Name = attrib.exe] [Action = Ask]</> <enabled>1</> <comment></>
<category>Vulnerable Processes</> <action>Ask</> <expression>[Proc.Name = auditpol.exe] [Action = Ask]</> <enabled>1</> <comment></>

etc
etc
etc

    I don't know how to do it :sticktongue: :tooth:

    I'm glad it can be done with notepad++. I'd stick with it too.
