[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 979167, member: 32260"] EXEMSI/TMP files are also blocked in some risky situations: [LIST=1] [*]The executable has been dropped into the user Startup folder. [*]The executable is going to be run directly from the archive. [*]The executable is going to be run directly from the email client. [/LIST] SWH and VS can be used together, because both solutions block files on different levels. The situations of overlapping will be very rare. But the gain for VS is not so big. If the user understands well the VS alerts and does not allow blindly the execution (especially LOLBins), then SWH can be skipped. On the contrary, when using at-home SWH + Defender (ConfigureDefender with ASR rules) + SmartScreen, one can probably skip VS. [/QUOTE]
