[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 860030, member: 32260"] Not in the case of WD. If you disable WD real-time protection then the ransomware protection is also disabled. The only possibility would be blocking WD updates for a month, and make a test with old signatures without the Internet connection. It would be an interesting test alongside some other anti-ransomware applications (not AVs) tested at the same time in the same circumstances ([I]WD as the only AV[/I]). [B]But, such a test procedure is not also fully appropriate for an anti-ransomware module integrated with AV dependent on cloud protection. [/B] The procedure from the video is appropriate for AVs with an integrated anti-ransomware module, because the anti-ransomware module may depend in some way or be optimized to work with AV protection. The downside of it is that one has only a few samples that can bypass AV and hit directly the anti-ransomware module. [/QUOTE]
