[QUOTE="danb, post: 1015789, member: 62850"] VS would have blocked the file and displayed a prompt similar to this... (WLC would almost certainly have returned a Not Safe verdict, and VoodooAi would probably have returned a Suspicious or Unsafe verdict) [ATTACH type="full" alt="Alert1.PNG"]271458[/ATTACH] If he would have clicked the Allow False Positive button, this prompt would have then been displayed... [ATTACH type="full" alt="Alert2.PNG"]271459[/ATTACH] In all fairness, I do not think most users would override both of these prompts, especially if the prompt is red and telling the user to block the file ;). Users can also click on the Get Second Opinion link to display more verdicts. Nothing is 100%, but prompts like these are what gives the user pause and a second or third chance of not becoming infected. These are just the default VS settings.. obviously you can set VS to not let the user allow anything new. It would be interesting to see if he can find the file to analyze with WLC and VoodooAi ;).
