[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 855217, member: 32260"] [B]I do not know. [/B]If this feature is not required then it should be disabled. But, this feature does not work on Windows Home (EFS service is disabled by default) and most AVs including WD will detect this method very soon. It will not be especially popular in widespread attacks. Furthermore, the H_C Recommended Settings already prevents ransomware delivery or execution. This service can be used by some applications that encrypt files/folders so I am not sure if it would be safe to disable it. [/QUOTE]
