of course, then you'll end up with regsvr32.exe which is signed by microsoft and still happily downloads and executes script code from remote servers. Unfortunately, not even this approach will work. No. To be totally safe, you have to

Some of these users are used for various error-reporting tools to report issues as. I'm not paying these any salary, nor are they actual, you know, people. Some of these users also aren't developers but just need access to the bug
