[QUOTE="artek, post: 800264, member: 22897"] That's a fun way to cherry pick results. Smartscreen/systhardener did well on those particular tests. But you forget the one where (Cylance tested) Defender and smartscreen missed 17 samples which is a tad worse than missing 3 silly little samples: Containment: VMware Workstation 14.1.1 build-7528167 Guest/OS: Windows 10 Pro N 1803 x86 [B]Product: Windows Defender (Default settings + PUP protection) + Smartscreen[/B] VPN: Windscribe Static: 2/19 Dynamic: 0 -> the system was dead after the 1 sample ([B]0.14.0[/B].js), couldn't test anymore [B]Total: 2/19[/B] SUD: 17 [B][I]Files encrypted:[/I] Yes Second opinion scanner: No need -> heavily infected System Final Status: [B]Infected (everything was encrypted, ransomware disabled WD completely) -> useless without tweaks[/B][/B] Lets talk about syshardener for a minute. I'm looking at the feature set and it seems to indicate that it can disassociate files like JS, JSE, VBS, VBE, WSH, WSF, PIF, SCR, BAT, JAR, PS1. I'm assuming that this means that the files won't be able to run which is a peculiar way to test the effectiveness of an anti-malware solution's script blocking capabilities unless of course you were trying to bolster one vendors scores at the expense of the others. If you want an accurate test, I would think that you need to run all vendors under the same conditions.
