| Description: | The win.ini file is a system configuration file in earlier versions of Windows that stores some system-level configuration information. In newer versions of Windows, the role of the win.ini file is gradually replaced by the Registry, which usually contains only some legacy Settings and has relatively little impact on the system. This rule is used to detect suspicious attempts to obtain win.ini files. | |
