[QUOTE="Wave, post: 594311"] nice review :) believe it or not, I love the WD GUI :D no idea why That's the thing... The user shouldn't be aimlessly downloading programs they are unsure of and trying to run them. They should only download when they know the download is safe/trusted and not run anything they download without proper research checks (online engine scans, verifying who developed it and checking reviews, etc.). If you bump into a program with no company information/no code signing authentication which is small in size and you didn't do absolutely any checks to make sure the program was actually known/genuine (even a google search and a damn VT scan would be beneficial) and you run it, then how can you blame your security product if it misses it? The only person at fault would be yourself for making such a dumb decision There's a pattern with the samples in the MHUB regularly and that pattern is that each sample pretty much appears suspicious on its own people need to realize that AV software is not a replacement for using their own brains.
