[QUOTE="Kuttz, post: 572976, member: 36292"] [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] Is there a single Anti Virus (AV) program whether its paid or free that offers full 100% anti-ransomware protection ? None. Just like other AV software BD is no exception. An AV performance should be seen from its totality. Testing limited to the micro aspects of the software cannot help in determining whether the AV is effective or not. An AV software offers protection from various angles like monitoring web pages, behavioral based detection, signature based detection, cloud based detection etc. One AV may be more good at behavioral based detection over the other but may be weaker in web page protection in comparison. Testing an AV based on hypothetical situation may not always be accurate. For example the BD could have blocked access to those files if it were tried downloading from the Internet. Just for saying true BD protection may be dependent on combinations of web protection, behavioral, signature based protection etc etc and how accurate in determining effectiveness of BD protection based on a hypothetical situation were you execute a bunch of malwares out of nowhere ?? Each AV have its strength and weakness. The user of an anti virus software should only need to ensure that the given AV can offer good protection in its totality. Reaching into a conclusion of the AV whether its good or bad based on the performance of a particular aspect of an AV say just depending on behavioral based detection or just depending on web protection or just depending on the signature based protection doesn't represent the actual protection the AV can offer in a real world scenario.
