[QUOTE="giants8058, post: 610249, member: 48759"] It uses sigs, heuristics, and the cloud. The cloud is really good due to their large customer base, but it may be for privacy reasons that hashes (not real time binary analysis) of files are only sent, and if there is no match (like the 2 ransomware files that got through in the video) there is no last layer of protection. No behavior blocker or any type of application privilege control. And heuristics is different from a behavior blocker. Most AVs have heuristics by default, which are built into their engine, but also offer some type of post execution behavioral analysis like Kaspersky, Emsisoft, Avast and Norton. Look at Eset.. best signatures out there, but I see on many occasions in the Malware Hub with the final status of infected. Without it's HIPS module (which I'm not really a fan of due to the incessant notifications for good and bad programs. Training it helps, but still. This can result in pop-up fatigue for some, especially for basic users, and just end up allowing things they shouldn't) its real time protection is lagging behind the other AVs mentioned above.
