[QUOTE="Nikos751, post: 1024902, member: 5403"] Today I came across the latest ATP test results on [URL='https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/advanced-threat-protection-test-2022-consumer/']av-comparatives.org[/URL] , and noticed Windows Defender inability to protect from the malware used in that test, coming from removable storage, in the specific testing circumstances. I wonder if denying execution access to removable media via Group Policy would protect the system. Would such measure, generally, be a bullet proof solution for usb malware? Copy & pasting into the system, would be a convenient way to just run a trusted executable. [/QUOTE]
