    Windows Defender and MBR/Petya-like ransomware

    Hello.

    Thank you for your feedback.

    My curiosity here was not linked to detection by signatures.

    Let's assume there is a 0-day (completely new) Petya variant today that signatures

    cannot detect yet...

    If I add the system drive to the Protected Folders list (which should protect me

    from ransomware behaviors), will I be protected from MBR/GPT ransomware or not?

    In Other words, does Protected Folders feature prevent only "regular" ransomware (file encrypting)

    or also Boot time ones ("MBR/GPT" encrypting)?

    It would be nice if law enforcement could trace the money trail. I would like to see the people that do this go to jail.
