Hi @RFeyertag, thanks for reaching us using the Live Community.

The recommended setting is Normal, the Aggressive one is used when you have suspicions of an infection and analyze more applications behavior, but maybe causing false positives.

This is from the documentation:

I am not happy with this answer. Because, in an incident you or somebody else could say, why did you not set it up to aggressive? What then?

Has anyone else here to share his expierience?
