[QUOTE="509322, post: 607177"] If a file executes (like the signed Philadelphia Ransomware in the video), then it will be able to write to User Space directories (C:\Users). That's true whether you are using AppGuard or just about any other security soft. For example, execute a malicious file, and even though it is detected by behavioral detection, it can still write to AppData\*. Malicious files that are "dropped," but not active on the system (loaded into active memory) are not an issue - unless the user navigates to the malicious file and executes it. In the case of AppGuard, a digitally unsigned file written to a C:\Users\* directory will be blocked and a digitally singed file written to C:\Users\* will be Guarded. AppGuard prevents the creation of autoruns by a digitally signed file from an untrusted publisher. [/QUOTE]
