[QUOTE="509322, post: 750832"] You can make millions upon millions upon millions of bypass videos and nothing is going to change. It hasn't changed one bit from when you first started and it will be the same far-far into the future - until mankind is gone. No, they don't know. The failure is the expectation that technology will solve the malware and attack problems, when it is the technology that inherently and insidiously creates the difficult-to-solve security problems in the first place. IT technology + typical humans = guaranteed mayhem and calamity. Unless you take an operating system and start disabling the stuff on it that makes it inherently vulnerable, it remains vulnerable no matter what security soft(s) are installed. Lock down the system and one ends up with a quite secure system - without the hassles that some people actively claim it will cause. Many things shipped with operating systems and software are not a good thing. Just because some publisher includes or implements something that meets limited customer demand, doesn't make it good. It only makes it a good idea for that publisher's bottom line without any prioritization of the best security interests of its users. Microsoft... hint, hint. So the best security solution for those that are not inclined to be security enthusiasts it is best practice to get the hell off of Windows entirely and use Chromebook. Rules based solutions are always behind the 8 Ball. Hell, some top security soft publishers only implemented ransomware protection just barely a year-and-half ago... almost 30 years after the first appearance of a ransom based attack. Rules based solutions are typically implemented based upon the incidence of attacks - which mostly accounts for the long delay in their implementation. [/QUOTE]
