[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 979660, member: 90494"] I may be wrong, but the new handy-dandy user's manual says the Advanced Threat Protection guards against Ransomware. This is from page 17: "ADVANCED THREAT DEFENSE Advanced Threat Defense actively protects your system against threats such as ransomware, spyware and trojans by analyzing the behavior of all installed apps. Suspicious processes are identified and, when necessary, blocked. For more information about how to keep your system protected from threats, refer to “Advanced Threat Defense” (p. 69)." And page 69: "12. ADVANCED THREAT DEFENSE Bitdefender Advanced Threat Defense is an innovative proactive detection technology which uses advanced heuristic methods to detect ransomware and other new potential threats in real time. Advanced Threat Defense continuously monitors the apps running on the device, looking for threat-like actions. Each of these actions is scored and an overall score is computed for each process. As a safety measure you will be notified each time threats and potentially malicious processes are detected and blocked. 12.1. Turning on or off Advanced Threat Defense To turn on or off Advanced Threat Defense: 1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface. 2. In the ADVANCED THREAT DEFENSE pane, click Open. 3. Go to the Settings window and click switch next to Bitdefender Advanced Threat Defense. Note To keep your system protected from ransomware and other threats, we recommend you to disable Advanced Threat Defense for as little time as possible." To me this seems the BD Advanced Threat Defense may be very similar to Kaspersky's System Watcher component. The comparison chart says there is no Ransomware Remediation, which I am no expert on BD or any other AV but I would think Ransomware Protection is a different function from Ransomware Remediation. It seems to me that protection would block ransomware attempts from running to begin with while remediation would be a method to recover or restore files that have already been encrypted by ransomware?
