[QUOTE="Deleted member 74454, post: 759085"] There are not many traditional stand alone AV's left, most are now accompanied by other modules. I see both used by advanced users, simply because it requires knowledge to navigate and understand advanced features of your AV's and also configuring default deny applications. Both of which can be fine for beginners (once set up) until they run into an issue, in which case both would become a problem for them. While default deny would appear to be better suited for beginners, one thing to keep in mind is most of them will not remove an infection, only block it from executing, where as your AV's upon detection will quarantine/remove.
