No room for that. Sorry.Why there's no none option?
COMODO is utilizing default/deny , and that is beyond the realm of AVs.COMODO is the only one who can prevent any malware (including Ransomware)
Valid reason = If the file is unknown (all new threats are borning as unknown) then it will goes into sandbox.
I couldn't vote, because Comodo is not in the list
(anyway, this thread will be another "I'am using X and happy with it" thread) (Good job AV fans)
Comodo also has "Protected Data Folders" and "Protected Files" feature, if we count this. No escape from this oneTrend Micro has a feature that prevents ransomware from encrypting files in selected folders, by default this is my documents, however I have also seen Trends Feature where is detects unusual activity targeting files malware normally targets and backs those targets up, restoring them once the user allows the encryption or allows Trend to remove the threat
So the the "unknown" file, lets say Ransomware cannot modificate or change or crypt your files in that list. Any word more than that.Files and folders that are added to 'Protected Files' interface are allowed read access by other programs but cannot be modified, whereas the files/folders in 'Protected Data folders' are totally hidden to sandboxed programs. If you want a file to be read by other programs but protected from modifications, then add it to 'Protected Files' list. If you want to totally conceal a data file from all the sandboxed programs but allow read/write access by other known/trusted programs, then add it to Protected Data Folders.
That is my answer too. Comodo sandbox can protect you from ransomware.COMODO is the only one who can prevent any malware (including Ransomware)
Valid reason = If the file is unknown (all new threats are borning as unknown) then it will goes into sandbox.

In this way, the server is informed about which antivirus is running
Yeah, or a chess game if we want...This is of course a "cat and mouse" game ...

if you won't your files encrypted to protect them from strangers, you can 't I suppose
you can, its designed to protect against applications or files behaving in a way that looks suspicious ,but if tbe encryption is performed by a whitelisted application. Like Winzip for example, trend wont block itOf course if you won't your files encrypted to protect them from strangers, you can 't I suppose
