I talked in a previous post about my interest in active defense against malware. For that matter, I've been watching numerous reviews of different AV software and how they perform when the system is attacked or compromised.
TPSC youtube channel does a lot of these great reviews and this channel as well as MalwareGeek were the two that made me ask for a refund for MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, a software I thought was great, but given the tests, it failed poorly.
So, in this video TPSC does a ransomware test for Avast. Let's see how it goes.
