[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 835998, member: 78686"] Hmm that's a nice idea and I did this before but testing in a VM can be done without using Shadow Defender specially with Oracle VM Virtual Box as it has snapshot feature unlike VmWare Player. I test other AVs on a Windows 7 VM but I had a constant CPU usage problem with Windows 10 in a vm so didn't try after that. I think most people don't even run into any malware in general. Almost everyday in my country I see people posting screenshots about their files got encrypted. And 99.99% of the time the reason is they downloaded a cracked program or game from some random site and either they turned off their AV before running that file or if it's a Windows 7 user then most of them didn't even have any AV installed. Excluding Windows Defender, Kaspersky is the most used AV here. They have a huge market share as they were first to come here and promote and sell AVs. According to Kaspersky's latest report, my country is number 1 in their list of countries with most ransomwares attack. Like I said above, all those are related to creaked programs.
