[QUOTE="plat, post: 968674, member: 74969"] Of course, but then what is the point of having an anti-ransomware component? Especially for enterprise, that's a major major demand. People make online mistakes all the time; these products are supposed to step in after the fact (one hopes). This is an old debate actually. If you pay to get your dog vaccinated against rabies and it gets rabies anyway--what is your course of action? At some point, the product has to step up to the plate somehow, even when it's part of a multi-layered approach (as it should be). Otherwise, it's useless. Insofar as Defender is concerned: I would never run it alone, I don't care how shrill people get about it. I tolerate it as an in-built convenience. It seems capable nowadays and I'll leave it there. If not Defender, demos and product test videos abound. [/QUOTE]
