We are always looking into ways to improve our products. It would be easy for us to just change the default to block instead of ask. However, we never treated our users as incapable and I am not sure users necessarily want to be treated like that. However, you can always change the default behaviour blocker behaviour so it just always automatically performs the preferred action if you don’t want to be bothered.

The only thing holding me back at the moment is the disappointing results in AV-C’s Real-World Protection Tests. A big chunk of the protection is user dependent, which is bad in 2 ways; it can infect users if they click the wrong option when a warning pops up and secondly, in my opinion anti-virus/malware programs should be silent in the background and should not bug users what to do.

Is this something you guys find important to improve or not?

Thanks!

Thanks Christian, your answer was spot-on =)

If you’re referring to the new methods discussed in the press recently, those are already covered by the behavior blocker. It blocks such malware right away when it executes. :)
