Malwarebytes... Really???

Remember when we were all throwing Malwarebytes onto the desktops?  It was all the rage for a while.  Seems as if that ship has sailed.  Case in point:

- On Monday, October 3rd, a Microsoft Word document with malicious macro began propagating across the internet.  Per this Forcepoint File Sandbox Report, the file is doing a number of malicious things... such as phoning home to Mother Russia:


 - Within a few hours the AV coverage rate, as seen via VirusTotal, was only up to 3 of 54 "solutions":


- What is the coverage rate this morning you may ask?  A full 3 days later?  Only 31 of 54.  Guess who is still AWOL:


In summary, Behavioral Analysis is the only way to address this onslaught of malware attacks.  Call ESPO Systems for a free consultation regarding which solutions are performing best in the real world.
