[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 883298, member: 23015"] What was the infection vector? A browser exploit (so rare these days)? If it was the case than VD could be useful, but if he clicked on [I]photos.jpg.ps1[/I] or [I]cracked GTA V.exe [/I]how something like VD could help? Anti executable is just an annoyance for the average home user, most infections are via fake keygens, cracks and torrents in general and the user is always willing to disable the protection to run it, thats why default-deny doesnt work in the domestic scenario but can be a very effective policy in enterprise usage (the user cant bypass it). Anti executable, HIPS, default-deny only works in a home scenario usage if the user cant bypass or disable it. [/QUOTE]
