Hi
I recently had a virus on my PC which I later found out was running via cmd.exe.
I have cleaned my PC and beefed up my security with better (paid) AV and Malwarebytes free.
I read that malware running on the command prompt and powershell are on the rise (affecting me too!) and harder to stop so I took the decision to disable them both in the registry so they cannot be opened. If I ever needed to I could by changing the registry back but I wondered....
Is there any downside to this? I hardly ever need them myself (never used powershell) but are there any other tasks which this might affect?
Thanks
Lily
