Agent.exe won't run if Cryptolocker Prevention policies are in place

In order to prevent Cryptolocker-type malware infections, many people now use the Cryptolocker Prevention Kit.  However, when that is in place, agent.exe won't run.  Checking the event viewer on one such system shows why:
  • Access to C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\7ZipSfx.000\rfusclient.exe has been restricted by your Administrator by location with policy rule {2beced12-8122-4cf4-ac63-12d945ef3b54} placed on path C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\7z*\*.exe.
Can agent be set up to run from a different folder?
