[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 851714, member: 82776"] My guess why disabling write was a bit safer and nearly as effective as disable scan (read+write) system folders 1. I did not know that the execution check would still be enabled when excluding folders from scan (so process execution check is done in both scenario's). 2. When a malware is dropped, it has to be written to the disk, so keeping write enabled seemed safer 3. Write once read many: because Windows10 normally behaves well as a basic user, I thought 'disabling read' would be as effective as 'disabling read+write' in practice [/QUOTE]
