The testing methodology was quite straightforward: disabling all signature-related scanners, running the test malware sample and tracking how each product managed to prevent activation of malware after system restarted. All prompts were given the “block action” response, and the tools used for testing were Sysinternals Autoruns and Process Explorer.
