[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 867766, member: 32260"] [USER=62850]@danb[/USER], You misunderstood my posts. :unsure: If I wrote that VS can be useful for semi-advanced users, then that was not a critique. I had in mind that for such a group of users, the VS can be a good and efficient solution. As you know well all VS reviews say the same. There is nothing wrong with VS even if it is often an inefficient solution for the less advanced users.(y) VS is obviously much more than anti-exe, but it shares with anti-exe some features. For example, if the user executes the EXE file, then VS with all its features will not check the DLLs loaded by this EXE. This can be used to infect the computer via DLL hijacking. Of course, VS can be configured to block all new files and stop most of such infections. It can be done via Always On Mode, or by blocking all known LOLBins, etc. So, the problem is not that VS can be bypassed, but that some convenient VS configs can be bypassed. Simply, more convenience always introduces less security. That is a users' choice to find a balance between usability and security. But first, they should know what are the possible vectors of attack. All vulnerabilities mentioned by me can be used in AutoPilot mode. Most of them (except 0-day) will be blocked by the AV. You should check by yourself if they can be dangerous in the Smart Mode - If you will say that it is not the case then I will believe you. Nothing that I wrote is new, you said many times that the Autopilot Mode is not as safe as Always On Mode. Furthermore, even Autopilot mode significantly improves the AV protection.(y) [/QUOTE]
