[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 881763, member: 61091"] I was talking with IT at work today, and he opined that WD does not have ransomware protection. I recall seeing on WD dashboard "Ransomware Protection" no action needed. But when I click manage ransomware protection it shows controlled folder access OFF (& I'm not using Onedrive). Dashboard is correct in that I did not specifically turn ON controlled folder access. H_C+CD is set to HIGH. What's the status of this win10_vm ransomware protection? IT at work runs both WD and Avast Enterprise because he can monitor Avast on 80 pc from his desk, and says Avast has the ransomware protection. Not intending to start a thread about Avast, just what is the ransomware protection using WD @ CD_high? My goal is [U]not[/U] to add 3d-party app protection unless really needed. PS I just modified the H_C firewall by removing the LOLBin rules (for now), but do have Recommended H_C firewall settings enabled with the log On. [/QUOTE]
