[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 461062"] To test only the Behavior Blocker, Leo would have to disable Anti-Malware Network queries. He did not do that for the test. In my prior testing, the Behavior Blocker - with everything else disabled - alerts only about 50 % of the time. Behavior Blocker at default settings works like this: [LIST] [*]File executed [*]If not in Emsisoft list of safe applications, perform Anti-Malware Network (file reputation) query [*]If not in Emsisoft Anti-Malware Network list, and file triggers Behavior Blocker, an alert will appear (Allow Once, Allow Always, Block Once, Quarantine) [*]If on Emsisoft AMN as malicious, then will be auto-quarantined at default settings. [/LIST] Without Anti-Malware Network, Behavior Blocker performance varies (50% or better) - dependent upon malware behavior. The BB isn't 100 % in all cases. This has been reviewed before via video here at MT. NOTE: The mechanics explained above might not be precise. It is the file's behavior that triggers the Behavior Blocker to perform an AMN query.
