[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 648253, member: 7463"] If I had to choose to only use an AV (God Spare Me), I would choose Avast. The reason behind this would be simply a better time to detection rate of Avast over BD. Both would probably be the same for D+1 malware, but in the first few hours Avast is superior (it;s embarrassing to admit that I still track such things!). But to be fair to BD, NotPetya is not in its wheelhouse. They are more interested (and rightfully so) in stopping actual file encryption and NOT things like MBR and/or MFT trashers. Also one must note that although Evjl's most excellent video is valid in this case, it would not be for a typical file encrypting ransomware as BD uses Cloud Analysis to stop such things from being successful, so shutting down the Network connection would not yield a valid result.
