[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1004987, member: 32260"] From some articles, it follows that Microsoft thinks about exclusions. The problem is how to introduce this ability for users, but not for the attackers. For now, the attackers cannot turn OFF the SAC even with administrative rights. Of course, the problem of exclusions can be solved by using Defender's Tamper Protection. So, the advanced users could temporarily disable Tamper Protection, add some exclusions, and turn it ON again. It is possible that Microsoft waits to see how many users can use SAC without exclusions. As was mentioned, many users are infected, because of the exclusions. Several years ago, Bitdefender tried to forbid exclusions in the free version of AV. But, the users were very unhappy, so finally the exclusions were allowed. [/QUOTE]
