[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 854744"] Patches aren't only discovered after an infection, but most often made after a professional pentester found a vulnerability, reported it before the malware writers even know about it. which is obvious but isn't a proper comparison. Even with a 3rd party software, you are toast anyway. Nothing can block a properly made kernel exploit, they run in a session deeper than software level (read about ring 0 and session 0). Only an OS patch can prevent it. (i talk about the exploit itself, not the dropper) So do i, but i read security forums to learn about them, not because i fear them. True, doesn't mean you have to avoid chosing a safer OS or protectyourself. You have mistaken AppContainer ( mentioned in the article) with Applocker. I use Win10 Enterprise and i setup its SRP and Applocker, it works as good (and even better) as many 3rd party tools i used before, i can run my system without any 3rd party security softs, which is great; and at least i don't have to worry about conflicts, introduced bugs and surface attacks.
