[QUOTE="mohamed_ajlan, post: 876164, member: 87121"] hi thank you for helpful reply which makes it clear to me . i already post on Dr.web's forum but no one responed yet here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.drweb.com/index.php?showtopic=333238[/URL] but i got a reply from other security forums that i am using their solution on different computers like Emsisoft reply : [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.emsisoft.com/topic/33236-emsisoft-antimalware-vs-ransim-ransomware-simulator/[/URL] and reply from Eset recieved through email: The problem with simulators of such kind presents itself in its name, already.
