[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 787193, member: 32260"] The role of the SmartScreen in the tests is unclear to me, too. If the samples are downloaded from FAT32 USB drives, then SmartScreen will ignore them, and the results for WD will be lower. Maybe all the AVs could be tested with SmartScreen ON? SmartScreen is the Windows feature, which works even with disabled WD. But, the AV vendors won't probably like this idea, because of false positives. Yet, the BAFS is not whitelisting - it is more like AI blacklisting in the cloud for very suspicious files. Nothing special, most of advanced AVs use something like that. [/QUOTE]
