[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1080596, member: 99014"] There are many scenarios predicted and blocked, there are many that are reactively patched and many to be discovered yet. When it comes to attacks with scripting involved, it’s a bit iffy as it may look like admin/user wants to execute the actions. There is a very thin line between blocking attacks, and blocking basic OS functionality and filling up your forums with annoyed users. The Norton WS.Reputation.1 (initially Reser.Reputation.1) is a very good example how a great idea, in this case blocking unknown executables, can piss a lot of users off and may have to be “dulled” later on — at the expense of security. In cybersecurity there is always something to be learned. [/QUOTE]
