Whats the difference between Files Threat Emulation Mode and Download Emulation and Extraction
Click to expand...
Files threat emulation works outside of the extension whilst web download emulation and extraction controls the extension.

Might do that - I dont feel like i'll loose much protection, and I feel like im sacrificing preformance. I think I also broke threat emulation it just stopped doing stuff, so yeah I might go back lol
nvm it back threat emulation working

Also I saw a page to make sure that its working (like a test for it) where can I find that again incase I ever need it

Also Threat Emulation just stops working randomly, I dont know why - if it keeps happening ill go back to Kaspersky.

How does Threat Emulation stop? Does it take a long time to download via the extension manager?

It stops if you turn it off or configure the environments wrongly. Threat emulation barely takes more than 2-3 minutes.

In the policy there is this option:
Emulate original file without suspending access
That will give you access to the file instantly and will emulate in the background. If the file is malicious, it will be deleted.

I wish they held execution on disk until emulation completed. I want that feature.

That would be quite annoying user experience wise, user download something it been downloaded and on disk but refuse to open, the current method is better the download is held untill emulation is completed.

Microsoft Defender For Business is a super simple endpoint but BitDefender GravityZone has more features and a desktop client. If an endpoint is too overwhelming, one of the Kaspersky home security suites would better suit the non techie. I complicate my life because I'm a nerd! :LOL:

There is nothing complicated really, it’s all about having a love for books, or in this case, the Admin guide. I just LOVE reading guides not only for that but also for appliances and everything. Before I buy something, I’ve already read the guide. I’ve even read the Apple OS guides, which are about 2K pages average. If you read, you will understand everything.
I read the Harmony admin guide 5-6 times before I start the trial and now I can use it with my eyes closed.

The better designed endpoints can be understood by anyone if they're easy to get around and they drop all the jargon no one understands. If I'm looking for a report to evaluate how to take better care of what's covered in the cloud, keep it simple, stupid.

Harmony is actually one of the easy Endpoints, if not the easiest. If you compare the number of clicks needed to do something on Harmony with Palo Alto or Trend Micro, harmony requires probably 3x less. Your devices with everything you wanna do are on assets. Your settings are on Policy. Your Logs are surprise, under Logs. It’s extremely easy to use.

Also, there is nobody not using Jargons in ES products, that’s why there are MSPs and admins. If one doesn’t like the jargon and is not willing to learn, I will repeat again. Norton, Avast and Kaspersky for home are better solution.

It’s complicated because it looks like some home users don’t wanna stay “in their pond”, they want to use business software and they also expect it to be designed “without jargons” and “easy” so they can learn it without reading one page from the guide. It looks like businesses send their admins on training (paid one) for nothing. There are other users who learn.

Harmony has a home version called ZoneAlarm for the users who don’t like to read. There, you won’t have any jargons. It won’t even display the threat name.
