[QUOTE="ebocious, post: 805406, member: 75834"] I seriously doubt that. And I'll tell you why: AV vendors themselves are starting to move away from it (with varying degrees of success). It sounds to me like you haven't used AppGuard. Because if you have, then you should know that those who don't know how to use it will not be able to use it at all. AppGuard doesn't throw up an alert asking you what to do about unrecognized programs; it just blocks them and notifies you (you can disable the notifications if you like). But without getting into the nitty gritty of configuration, the simple way to use it is to drag the lever down before installing something, and drag it back up afterward (or let it automatically resume default protection after 20 minutes). Looks real hard, doesn't it? [ATTACH type="full" alt="210984"]210984[/ATTACH] While I can't speak to individual end users, Blue Ridge claims that, in 20 years, not a single client has been breached. If that weren't true, then I'd expect a client or two (or three, or four...) of theirs would have set the record straight by now. iOS is default-deny, and so are macOS and Linux to an extent. The average user doesn't know much about Linux, but the Mac is working its way up to 15% OS market penetration.
