Title: Hardened Mode Aggressive should be enabled by default...Allow me to explain why?
Post by: REDACTED on October 06, 2016, 10:16:58 AM
I used Avast with Hardened Mode Aggressive & works good...Aggressive seems better than Moderate...Both Protection & Usability wise.

I personally feel Avast should enable Hardened Mode Aggressive by default. Allow me to explain why?

Current default - unknown/low reputation analyzed...allowed not detected & quarantined detected.

Hardened Mode Aggressive - unknown blocked....users can allow or keep it blocked.
Currently in Hardened Mode files are not analyzed but blocked...even when excluded, files are not analyzed. I think when excluded, Avast should first analyze the files & on no detection should add the files to exclusion...with this Avast will work as current default but better protection as Hardened Mode is enabled...So Hardened Mode will protect And...(even if users allow, files will be analyzed & allowed or blocked...thats current default).

What you guys say? Please Vote & Comment.

Well, CyberCapture does analyze unknown files. Which version of Avast do you use..?
