I was testing the Annabelle ransomware in Shadow Mode. Everything went fine until I decided to allow the execution of the malware to see how it attacks. It was blocked by 360TS on execution even though it wasn't detected by static scan. I got a BSOD 0x0F4. So I had to shut down and restart the PC by pressing the power button.

Booting with Shadow Mode off, what greeted me next is "Server execution failed" when I ran Explorer. This doesn't look good.

I did some troubleshooting and found out that my secondary drive is no longer detected. Not sure but I guess the malware trashed the MBR.

Why this thing happened? I don't know. I should be protected while in shadow mode.

Containment: Shadow Defender v1.4.0.665
Guest/OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit SP1
Product: 360 TS 9.6.0.1245 (Balanced setting)

Note: I've recovered all files in the HDD after about 10 minutes.

I see sometimes virtualization fails in most complicated malwares...thats the reason for this massacre..
and even some AV have a peculiar problem of working inside a VM..(Up and down) with same samples...
Its not Qihoo ..for most of the AV i tested specifically EMSI AVG ...its a common issue
may be a background hardware or a driver conflict....BB some times blocks other times no alert..:confused:

Even f secure has this illness...Kaspersky Quickheal G data seem to like to work inside the VM..
Personal opinion though

It would be interesting to send the sample and/or reports of your "glitch" to the SD developer to see if he can replicate and then figure out what happened.
