[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 948601, member: 83059"] I definitely agree — the average home user does not encounter true zero days or advanced custom written malware stagers. Real ransomware also tends to have many more components than encryption, which might be subject to less false positives to write rules around. These were meant to be pure behavior blocker tests, evaluating a specific subsystem that many AVs have which trigger on certain behaviors alone like registering startup items or modifying documents. Just because an AV does well or poorly while testing its behavior blocker doesn’t imply how it ranks overall. [/QUOTE]
