[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 833297, member: 51905"] again, back to the previous message, if a malware is not allow to run by TAM, they won't do anything to your PC + you also have Windows smartscreen which is also a reputation-based checker for a file. You already have double protection before the file is even able to execute reputation-based protection is different from traditional AV. If a file is not safe or not used by many people or it doesn't have enough indicators to be classified as safe, they will be blocked until they are classified as safe if you block Windows script host, powershell, java,... malwares only have 1 or 2 ways to inject into your process which is itself, an exe file fileless malwares are scripts. If you block script handlers like windows script host and powershell, they can do nothing to your PC kaspersky also has memory scanner and exploit protection to detect malicious behaviors such as code injection + it has application control/HIP-like module which you can set to prevent code injection for process A or B or all processes if you want to for example, google chrome, you can restrict chrome.exe using application control -> it can't do what you restrict it to do you can't cover 100% weaknesses of your PC. for example, people are worried about exploits (let's assume it's the last thing to worry) => they install HitmanPro.Alert and hope it can prevent all or most exploits besides updating their Windows => they introduce more instability and more annoying bugs [/QUOTE]
