[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 680302, member: 50782"] [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] The whitelist feature of Avast (hardened mode) is (currently) related to the FILE (execution) SHIELD (because you execute a file), so don't bother to enable hardened mode when the execution filter of the file shield is disabled. The placement of this feature in the GUI as general option is misleading, but it might have ringed a bell that your samples passed the whitelist feature.;) On second thoughts: your test showed that the behavior blocker scored a 100% detection. It might well be that by disabling the file (execution) shield, Avast will not stop further execution of that sample (or executables spawned by that binary).:unsure: Regards Kees [/QUOTE]
