    That is interesting.

    On my test-system, G Data failed several more, see my previous test.

    And on my test-system, HMPA does not stop the Streamer test scenario, but it does stop InsideCryptor test scenario, however RanSim version 1.0.2.2 shows "Vulnerable" for InsideCryptor anyhow, which is a bug according to the HMPA developers.
    N.B. Please see my notes 1 and 2 in my RanSim Ransomware Simulator test and discussion thread post.

    Your different outcome makes me wonder what your settings for G Data and for HMPA are, and whether these are different from mine.
    Also your Windows version may be relevant. As stated in my signature, I use Windows 7 x64.

    And also it makes me wonder if, with your test, G Data may have blocked part of the RanSim test functionality, so that RanSim didn't run correctly.
    On my system, for RanSim to run correctly, I had to whitelist a few RanSim files in G Data settings.
    (G Data Settings\ AntiVirus\ Real-time protection\ Exceptions)
    See RanSim documentation, FAQ, "My antivirus flagged RanSim.exe, Launcher.exe, or RanSimSetup.exe as malicious."
    If G Data silently blocks RanSim.exe, Launcher.exe and/or RanSimSetup.exe, the RanSim test doesn't run as intended.

    Thanks very much for your reply, NiteRanger.
    As I replied in the RanSim thread, perhaps I'll test G Data IS and HMPA again, later, using modified settings.
    However, I will not uninstall G Data or HMPA like you did for testing, I'm only going to use modified settings.
    Thanks again.
