[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 867325, member: 32260"] Yes, I know it.:) I did not probably consider all factors, but I feel that there are two things worth rethinking: [LIST=1] [*]Alerts in Autopilot and Smart Mode (in the home environment). [*]Unlocking the computer in Always ON Mode after 10 minutes of user inactivity (in businesses). [/LIST] We talked a lot about simplifying the alerts and golden rule, so I skip it now. The second point can be important in businesses, because many computers can be connected to the local network without an Internet connection. But still, they share the emails and other resources from the local server. If one of the computers will be infected (that one without the installed VS or intentionally by the attacker), then the computers with installed VS (Always ON Mode toggled off after 10 minutes of user inactivity) can be also infected via the local network.:unsure: Of course, this could be solved if all potential users were trusted or had installed VS, but that would be hard to accomplish in practice.
