[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 868378, member: 57429"] When you exit muted mode notifications and scanning will go back to normal yes but during it you probably wont get the notifications of changes. Scanning during muted mode is basically neutered on all AV. I seriously doubt you will be notified if a file has been whitelisted/changed hash during muted mode after you come out of it. The only way you can detect changes is checking the logs, and how many people do that every day? If your a skilled attacker you delete logs anyway if they are not restricted. The problem with Emsisoft (I love Emsisoft btw) is that it whitelists windows files automatically and excludes some windows processes from scanning and protection in the behavior blocking module which should really be monitored for changes. Plus Emsisoft adds trusted security setting to files the behavior blocker pops up with warnings with if you accept allow. [/QUOTE]
