does ransomeware sheild protect sub folders
« on: September 07, 2020, 09:01:41 AM »
Hi Avast community,
does anyone know if the sub folders contained in a folder that was selected in the ransomware shield are also protested?
Avast is reporting that these contents are not, when the parent folder is nominated.

eg I select c:\mydata\
is c:\mydata\stuff\  also protected  ?
