The application from windows system can be modified by the virus, but this require virus to run first and will deny by the STasks program if you deny right. Check the date of process, you must know the date can be fake on viruses, also you can to check the size of application, this is a very good checking but require good knowledge of windows system.

We recommend to set safe_level to 1 on the settings file after STasks populate allow list with base windows processes, this setting offer you very strong security. We recommend the Stasks software for advanced windows users, if you set right the allow and deny lists of process, STasks become for you a very strong security software.
