[QUOTE="RejZoR, post: 580762, member: 57233"] Oh man, seeing this rules creator reminded me how easy it would be for avast! to create ransomware protection which they have never done... IF application tries to WRITE access any *.jpg file (or any other file affected by ransomware) and APPLICATION X is NOT on TRUSTED LIST (which would be harnessed from their Hardened mode whitelist), BLOCK request and WARN the user. Granted, you can hijack other processes and use them, but surely they could track if UNTRUSTED app tried to use TRUSTED app to do a specific task. I also realized the problem here is that this trusted list isn't being updated anymore for ThreatFire which is probably the reason why its protection isn't as good as it should be. [/QUOTE]
