Hum I can't remember getting those warnings, except when I added some user folders to protected folders in deception-based module which works similiar to also known "Protected Folders" feature in other antivirus products...

I'm referring to its document protection module, which is separate from deception module - right?

@harlan4096 how did you find the ransomware protection during your testing? What do you think of its implementation?

there are 2 types of ransomware protection modules in WV. 1 is automatic, 1 is prompting when something, which is not in the whitelist, tries to access our folders (same as windows defender or bitdefender ransomware modules)

you can delect automatically add trusted processes + add your own trusted apps manually so it can reduce the numbet of prompts

Yes, that's why I guess @oldschool warnings are from the 2nd module (Protected Folders)... warnigns are in yellow coloured?

Yes. I edited my above original post.

@Evjl's Rain 's explanation helps, but I was uncertain about my response to alerts. I just deleted all "allowed applications" and will start from scratch. I'm not advanced like you geeky guys.

Usually You have to check in every warning if the process trying to access if trusted or not
