[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 789134, member: 32260"] Thanks to [USER=64646]askalan[/USER], we can see some new tests on Malware Hub, and it looks like the samples were not known to WD or WD was disabled. All samples were blocked by SmartScreen (via Run As SmartScreen) or by H_C settings. [URL]https://malwaretips.com/threads/malware-6-dynamic-detection.89091/post-788503[/URL] [URL]https://malwaretips.com/threads/malware-triple-action-05-01-2018-dynamic-detection.89141/post-788935[/URL] [URL]https://malwaretips.com/threads/blackheart-ransomware-dynamic-detection.89169/post-789116[/URL] [URL]https://malwaretips.com/threads/hard_configurator-january-2019-report.89172/[/URL] If I correctly remember, we discussed several months ago, the possibility of using only H_C (with forced SmartScreen) without any other realtime AV. That would be a very light protection based on default-deny SRP and forced SmartScreen. In my opinion, the results on Malware Hub should be as good as for any decent AV, but in the real world the protection can be slightly lower (as good as for a free AV). It follows from the below fact: [LIST=1] [*]Some advanced 0-day attacks which can possibly bypass H_C recommended settings (very usable, but not maximally strong), can be detected by AV signatures after some days. [*]Some popular legal applications with bundled commercial adware, can also bypass the SmartScreen protection, so the user should add the adware cleaner to his/her setup. [/LIST] Though, such events will be rather improbable in the home environment. Edit. Added point 2. which is more probable than point 1. [/QUOTE]
