[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1094609, member: 7463"] Yes it was stopped. Initially the VirusScope Cloud would have immediately deleted it (but in the video I ignored that warning, which as noted is unwise). But the other important thing is that a Firewall alert popped up which, especially in the case of Data Stealers, should never ever be ignored (which I did anyway). This latter point is essential to note as any Stealer cannot succeed if it is unable to transmit the stolen data out to Malware Command. This is also why one should never, ever just rely on Windows Defender Firewall (no matter how tricked out) as it is barely an inconvenience to shut it down prior to transmission. Finally if CF was put into Silent Mode (like in the 2nd part of my last Comodo video) there would have been no popups at all- the file would have just been deleted prior to activation. [/QUOTE]
