[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 680369, member: 7463"] I was just trying to recreate the test of the Avast BB that was posted last week and which gave a false impression (the hardened Mode was active because I would have been criticized for not using it). Although I actually think that Avast has made great strides in the past 9 months and is currently quite a good product (sad that it recently refuses to play nice with CF!), my primary concern is that Avast users are not misled by not well designed tests. Any of the ransomware that bypassed the Avast BB in this test can be easily morphed to a true zero day, and running into one of these even with File Shield active will result in Unnumbered Tears.
