[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1020052, member: 78686"] I also had to restore a system image (I moved from Macrium Free to Hasleo Backup Suite Free). The damage that was done by this issue was too much to fix. I wasn't even home for a few days and my brother who came to visit from abroad had to suffer from this issue on my PC. He knows how to use PC, but has no idea/interest in security related things. So he had no clue what happened and was a bit worried. Some other office related ASR rules are not user-friendly either. I saw quite a few blocks in the protection history when I got back home from the time when my brother worked on MS Word. For example, simply converting docx to pdf gives you a block because by default MS Word is set to immediately open the PDF after conversion. This opens as a child process of Word hence get blocked by the child process related ASR rule. PDF is created alright, but the block would confuse an average user. Anyway, this shortcut issue was a heavy mess! Now installed a very good third-party AV so that my bro can do his work without any issue. It's a more user-friendly approach. [/QUOTE]
