Hi @valmal04,
Appreciate this PR
However, since this rule fires for any PE created in paths your Sysmon config monitors, whether SimpleHelp triggers it depends on the monitored paths, not on SimpleHelp itself. Any legitimate installer could cause the same hit for the same reason.
Rather than adding this specific fp note, I updated the description to make clear: noise from legitimate software means the Sysmon config is too permissive and should be narrowed.
