[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 844238, member: 32260"] [B]If the user respects SmartScreen [/B]then there is no real difference in the preventive protection on Windows 8+, because SmartScreen is probably stronger than WD MAX Protection level and Avast CyberCapture. There will be a difference in the post-exploitation stage for primary EXE/MSI payloads, because WD on Windows 8.1 is stronger than on Windows 8, and WD on Windows 10 is stronger than on Windows 8.1. But, this can be important in the home environment only when the user installs vulnerable/unpatched applications or uses the unpatched system. If you mean the ASR rule "Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence or trusted list criteria", then no one knows the criteria used by Microsoft for EXE files. So, it is hard to say if it is stronger than the Avast CyberCapture feature (I do not know). [/QUOTE]
