Hi I have found a way to block the SWF Games, we use Sophos endpoint security at the school I work in and I have created a data control policy that stops SWF games from being ran in Internet Explorer. I also block the file using hash file settings in group policy if they are trying to run the file directly.

A Data control policy can block SWF games and SWF files from running locally but not directly from the internet, your filtering software will have to be responsible for this and be right up to date.

I have also created an application control policy that stops firefox portable from being run.

I have been trying to find a solution to this for ages and came up with this over the summer, the only problem I have found so far is that when year 11 student need to create web pages in IT then it blocks them from doing this but I have simply created another data control policy to allow this and hope that classroom management kicks in for isolated rooms
