[QUOTE="Kiwimike, post: 461690, member: 46775"] Kudos to Emsisoft for making their behaviour blocker so good at actually blocking these things. A lot of software would fail horribly. The fact it was blocked so quickly is either a plane and simply default policy in the settings of the application, I've never used Emsisoft myself so I; unfortunately don't know where that would be. There was an enterprise antivirus displayed at RSA Conference a year or two ago that was very good! Demonstrated a targetted attack by a hacking group on a network and it blocked every malicious file... Without any signatures, automatically and quickly. The people demonstrating the software (forgot the software name!!) claimed it used mathematical equations to figure out whether malware was good or bad before it ran. I'm not sure whether they were being broad or what, but it did very well. I'm writing this because I believe a similar technology could potentially be in Emsisoft. If it is this is a huge feat and definitely should be considered a great security product. I also understand there is probably some emulation, access restrictions and behaviour analysis at play which should be expected from a good behaviour blocker. The only thing I could see making this better would be a sandboxing feature wiping any previously executed changes to files, registry and settings during the malware execution. And also allowing a safe environment separated from all the other programs running in the system, limiting possible damage. [/QUOTE]
