[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 1049654, member: 59691"] Again. 1. Malware can be blocked pre-execution by signatures for example. So the malware in detected before it can even start. ---> Malware has no way of infecting the system and therefor no chance to steal any data. 2. Malware can be blocked post-execution by behavioural analysis. The malware runs in memory and can perform its malicious actions until the antivirus determines wether it's unsafe or not. If it's determined unsafe, it will be blocked. But the malware could potentially already have stolen the data before it was detected. 3. Malicious connection to the malicious C&C is blocked by the firewall, so the malware can't connect to the hackers server and therefor not send the stolen data of the victims system. [/QUOTE]
