[QUOTE="XhenEd, post: 607148, member: 19498"] Good test! :) "Philadelphia Ransomware" was expected to run. It's digitally signed. And AppGuard in Protected Mode allows all digitally signed applications to run even in user space. But all of them are Guarded, so that's why in the video the ransomware wasn't able to do its job. But you observed something with the ransomware. Yes, please test it again. :) The only reason why the others weren't allowed to run is not because of some next-gen AI algorithm of AppGuard (AppGuard has none, but it has patents for its technologies), but because of the simple implementation that [I]all[/I] unsigned applications are not allowed to run in user space. :D Protected mode in AppGuard may still pose a risk for the user. That's why [USER=56349]@Lockdown[/USER] here recommends the Lockdown mode. With it, all digitally signed (except Microsoft's) and unsigned applications are [I]not[/I] allowed to run in user space. The Philadelphia Ransomware would not be able to run in Lockdown mode. [/QUOTE]
