[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1043783, member: 99014"] Except in the case of ransomware (which can easily be mitigated via backup/restore and I don't even consider it to be a threat), everything else will cease to work properly disconnected from the web. Problem is various threats can inject code in trusted processes that are already allowed to connect (LOtLBins) and perform their dirty duties this way. If hardened firewall is combined with LOtLBin restrictions (disabling various script interpreters including PowerShell as I don't see which home user will need complicated scripts), then code injection will fail too. Malware will not be able to do anything apart from damaging system and data. [/QUOTE]
