Hum I can't remember getting those warnings, except when I added some user folders to protected folders in deception-based module :unsure: 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? :unsure:
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. :D
