[QUOTE="SearchLight, post: 789633, member: 63857"] I do not see much mention in this thread about Ransomware contributing to overkill. Does anyone feel that it has contributed to it? Many of the AV vendors tout the protection they provide against it as one of their main selling points , not to forget zero day protection, as well. Imo, these two issues cause many novices to resort to overkill as they seem to be the topic of many discussions and articles to the point of sometimes scaring people . [/QUOTE]
