[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 496458, member: 7463"] 1). Duotone- As long as you always Block things whenever you get an AppGuard popup and never (never, ever) assume it is an FP and run a file you will be protected. AppGuard is a nice application but it's the possibility of a wrong choice that unnerves me. 2). Regarding Katana, yes it will stop Petya. But it does seem to have a rather large blind spot to other things. If this is confirmed I'll release something in a few weeks (or even if it isn't!). 3). If infected by Petya, I find it a bit disingenuous to state all you have to do is use (and/or buy) some Boot Disk or other. So easy to write, but it presupposes quite a bit (like the user knows what a Boot Disk is, can get access to it, and once acquiring it knowing what to do with it). As for paying for one, a person is better off taking the computer to Mr Robot down the street and have him deal with it. 4). Much better is a security solution that will work or even better using an imaging application (and using it routinely) to catch you when you fall. [/QUOTE]
