[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 649787, member: 7463"] Andy- Yeah, it was on Win7. I did this for 2 reasons: 1). Non-Win10 systems are still used by half of all Windows users, and 2). The upcoming Win10 release will dramatically improve Win10 security-wise, so any type of test on the current build would be counter-productive. I will say that from what those in the know have told me, a stepping up of how the new Win10 will handle credential management will totally suppress the actions of this malware. And as you have said, Win 10's UAC is indeed better out of the box than previous versions (especially at the low end where system files are protected even if a person sets UAC to Never Notify. What does sadden me is that so many did not take advantage of the free Win10 upgrade become of privacy rants made by the lunatic fringe (OH My God! Microsoft is tracking me!!!!). This is a pity as now those that were so easily led by those that knew the least must pay for a superior operating system. [/QUOTE]
