[QUOTE="struppigel, post: 876697, member: 86910"] Asking the user to make the decision will only help those who are tech-savvy. Most users click "allow" on everything. They don't know better and per default use "allow" because otherwise things they need don't work anymore. So, this is only beneficial to a certain type of user. It's preferred to have a decision by the AV product itself. With that said, there is no wide-spread ransomware that doesn't provide any of the other features I mentioned if they want to be somewhat profitable. E.g. all of them have shadow copy deletion by now. Those are the behaviours that---in combination with the encryption and renaming---might be detected with heuristics. Once the ransomware is known, we also catch the newly packaged variants by other means than heuristics. [/QUOTE]
