[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 466579, member: 7463"] Glad you guys liked the video. Thanks for watching! A few things: 1). That is precisely the issue. One could let a company slide if a new POC bypass is presented, but it is inexcusable when a known problem is being ignored (like lack of Worm protection in MB). 2). For Avast and Avira- the Paid product yielded the same result. I went with the Free versions as they are more commonly used. 3). As the malware was freshly coded (and unreleased) getting by either local or Cloud AV's is no big thing. And regarding Avast's "Hardened" mode- I've never found this setting to be even an annoyance. The terms Hardened and Aggressive certainly are impressive, but personally I'm still waiting to see what they actually do. 4). I'll be doing two more video's on this topic- my issue is that the next one up does have nice Boot Time protection, so I'll have to spend some time to see if I can get around it. Hopefully within a week. [/QUOTE]
