 			Ultimately, you must weigh CPU time checking many detailed rules, against the risk of malware exploiting the blindness created.
 			Beware of Masquerading, where attackers imitate the names and paths of legitimate tools. Ideally, you'd use both file path and
 			code signatures to validate, but Sysmon does not support that. Look into AppLocker/WindowsDeviceGuard for whitelisting support. -->
