[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 714459, member: 23015"] You clearly didnt understand the topic, please read it again and take a look at the Windows Defender Testground Website (official from Microsoft ofcourse). [URL='https://demo.wd.microsoft.com/Page/CloudBlock']Cloud-delivered protection - Windows Defender Testground[/URL] These "great" generic detections are from a totally harmless file that doesnt do anything at all, NOTHING, NADA, please read it again before you make assumptions. Please run the file yourself and you will understand (or maybe not). Does the file try to set persistance? Does the file try to modify user files? Does the file try to access the hard disk directly? Does it inject its code in any process? The answer is a big NO, it just shows a GUI pretending to be a Ransomware. Why any security vendor should add detection (generic or anything) to a Microsoft cloud test? Only if they dont do their work properly, just adding detection from files that others players detect as such. Really, I would be okay if they had detected the file as something like "Not-a-virus:WDcloud", "Not-a-virus:FakeRansomware Simulator". And Im done here ... [/QUOTE]
