[QUOTE="woodrowbone, post: 307629, member: 1062"] WSA seems to be a App that is hard to understand for people, this is were they should improve more, inform how WSA really works. I agree fully with the two posters above, a better understanding on how WSA works is needed. Like tonibalas who does not know that he is still protected by WSA even if he is "infected", the "infection" is monitored and the Identity shield feature kicks in, and no private or sensitive information is allowed to "leak" out from the PC. WSA is hard to test, you need to have it up and online all the time if you test the Monitored feature for example, and this can take weeks even before WSA deems the file good or bad. (But you are still protected) The only scenario I see were WSA could have problems is if you get a ransom virus blocking your screen, even if that file is monitored you cannot use your PC until the cloud decides that the file is bad. EDIT! No disrespect to the tester/testers, but we need to brainstorm without prestige around how tests are conducted. Just to get as close to real life experience as possible. Or else the so called "youtube testers" will remain in the shadows, not taken seriously by others (see Wilders forums for example). /W [/QUOTE]
