It generates a list of potential updaters that can be included in the system.
It tracks all failed attempts made by authorized executable to change protected files or run other executable files. It also generates a list of possible updaters that can be configured on the system to perform an update.

This feature:
Allows the product code to run even when the components are not present in the allow list.
Ensures that all product components are protected.
Prevents accidental or malicious removal of components from the allow list to ensure that the product doesn't become unusable.
Is disabled in update mode to facilitate product upgrades.

It protects running processes from hijacking attempts. Unauthorized code injected into a running process is trapped, halted, and logged. It also attempts to gain control of the system through buffer overflow and similar exploits are rendered ineffective.
Enabled
Windows
mp-casp
It renders useless code that is running from the non-code area, which happens due to a buffer overflow being exploited on 32-bit Windows platforms.
Enabled
Windows
mp-vasr
mp-vasr-forced-relocation
It forces relocation of those dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) that have opted out of the Windows native ASLR feature.
Some malware relies on these DLLs always being loaded at the same and known addresses. By relocating such DLLs, these attacks are prevented.
Enabled
Windows
network-tracking
It tracks files over network directories and blocks the execution of scripts over network directories. By default, this feature is enabled and prevents the execution of scripts over network directories. When this feature is disabled, execution of scripts over network directories is allowed. Also, write-protecting or read-protecting components over a network directory is not effective.
Enabled
