[QUOTE="mlnevese, post: 1099553, member: 36157"] Well you disabled the module that was responsible for protecting user files. The software wasn't trying to open firewall doors, install a kernel level driver or any other suspicious activity AND the module responsible for protecting user files couldn't do anything because it was disabled. If you want to test heuristics try something that tries to listen to ports, open firewall ports, try to launch a connection to a website or download further payload from the web, install a kernel level driver etc. And keep all modules active. Most if not all modern solutions use an integrated approach to protection. [/QUOTE]
