@Trident @Shadowra @Khushal I have a theory about cloud based analyse;

As you can see, virustotal behavioral analyse cant analyse file because virus cant work if SmartAssembly not installed, then cloud based analyse can be late and if it's developed more or another way etc etc, Creating a virus that can make cloud-based analyse late and not need to another program to work can be possible.


Virus cant work without SmartAssembly so KSN cant run on their server so KSN Cant analyse or another cloud system.

McAfee seems to have evolved a lot this last year or so. Mainly after they released their cloud version. I think they want to play with the big boys once more...
I'm planning to move to McAfee once my Emsisoft license runs out. McAfee is too light and not bloated, even if the interface is cluttered, you only have a couple of process running in Task Manager.
