[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 856932, member: 32260"] It seems that my joke is exaggerated. It can be directed to the author's comment below the video on the website: [MEDIA=youtube]VXtTgP8JkSk[/MEDIA] , "[I]Windows Defender vs Ransomware: How well does the free antivirus with Microsoft Windows 10 fare against this type of malware. This video is a comprehensive test with a wide range of ransomware including threats like WannaCry and Petya.[/I]" But, this comment does not correctly describe what was really done in the video. It seems that many people who posted to the website were also misguided. Most of them did not probably realize that the test scenario was typical for the enterprise environment (attack from the compromised machine in the local network), but not for the home environment. I have carefully watched and listened to the video once again, and this test is not a typical YouTube product. I missed a fragment close to the end when Leo explained the purpose of his "test". He focused on the difference between the WD protection in the local network with the Internet connection and without it. The results for WD without the Internet connection were worse (they should be as I noted in one of my posts). This can be important because many computers in the local network in enterprises are disconnected from the Internet. He also thought that his test can be useful for Microsoft to avoid some issues in enterprises after ransomware infection. So I should rather post another joke : Dear Leo, Be cautious about the comments under your videos. Many people do not understand your videos so they need a little help from your side.:)(y) Andy. Edit If the purpose of this video was to demonstrate that WD free features (no ATP) are not suited to the enterprise environment, then it is a pretty good demonstration. Of course, this is a well known fact (without any demonstration) because WD protection highly depends on the cloud backend (Cloud delivered protection, Block at First Sight, SmartScreen). [/QUOTE]
