[QUOTE="XhenEd, post: 508441, member: 19498"] Bumping this thread! :D Basing on BRN's whitepaper, Medium Mode (earlier version of AppGuard 4) would still not allow ransomware (or CryptoLocker in the whitepaper) to encrypt any files because AppGuard would prevent its operation in the registry and other areas. I tried looking for the link of this whitepaper, but I cannot find it anymore. Fortunately, I saved a copy of it. :) "Figure 2 below shows AppGuard allowing CryptoLocker to run in a simulated digital signature-stolen scenario. Even though CryptoLocker is running, AppGuard contains it so that it cannot make changes to harm the system. AppGuard’s containment prevents CryptoLocker and other malware from harming the system no matter what privileges the user has on the computer.
