Avast hardened mode destroy by Russian Ransomware

When put on Aggressive mode it only allows programs that avast has whitelisted......... This means Avast whitelisted that Ransomware......

If the Avast user is using Avast with Comodo Firewall (Fully Virtualized). He/She will not be infected.
Thanks for the test @manzai

What a fail, wouldn't have expected it with Hardened Mode. Could the result have been different outside the VM? Maybe we'll never know...

Thanks for the test!
