[QUOTE="SearchLight, post: 803313, member: 63857"] Appreciate the responses. Thanks. Going back to my OP, then is the consensus here that RanSim accomplishes nothing, and is bogus because it does not reflect what happens in the real world? If that be so, then what is the purpose of creating, and using this simulator to test software? To create Scareware? To that end, one could almost argue that the EICAR test virus is the same because it is not doing anything malicious. I feel that slowly this topic is migrating into the infamous marketing tactics that vendors might employ to sell their security products that will protect and defend your PC from every known threat including Zero day. It is great to be an informed consumer because of the many informative postings here on the MT website. [/QUOTE]
