[QUOTE="509322, post: 778950"] This all goes the massive stupidity on Microsoft's part... by configuring all default Windows for the convenience of IT Pros, while negligently placing the largest group of users at the greatest risk - who happen to be the most vulnerable - the typical home user. Interpreters should not be enabled by default. That they are is just the absolute face of stupidity and negligence. It is like storing explosives in a welding fabrication shop. Microsoft hides file type extensions by default in Explorer. Another absolutely moronic thing to do. So to cope with all this stupidity, Microsoft adds even more to its stupidity by developing AMSI and ASR - which are overly complex pattern matching and rule sets, that are wholly dependent upon convoluted reporting by the pen-test community - that more than likely won't stop new attacks. It is hard to fathom how so many people defend Microsoft when it is the one who is wholly to blame for the pathetic state of affairs. It created Windows, therefore it is responsible. And just a FYI... in the enterprise, the employee is responsible for 60+ % of all infections. Same vectors and methods... email, zip files, scripts, malicious macros, etc. And Microsoft makes it all possible. [/QUOTE]
