[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 622492, member: 59283"] Either option will achieve the same result in the end. If you had it set to block the ransomware's initial execution would be completely blocked due to it requesting privilege elevation from the get-go and because it's unrecognised by Comodo. Even if it didn't initially request privilege elevation it would be sandboxed until it requested said privilege elevation and then subsequently terminated by Comodo. With it set to run inside container you'd get a notification that the ransomware had been sandboxed and it would just sit inside the sandbox unable to do anything of note. The ransomware would eventually self-terminate or be terminated when you either clear the sandbox or restart your PC. Edit: I reworded it so it was easier to understand. Sorry for hijacking your question [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER]. :oops: You'll probably be able to explain it better than I have. [/QUOTE]
