[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1040316, member: 99014"] It is and it’s not only that, Avast is very heavily invested in machine learning. Evo-Gen is way more than 6 years old. But the local engine is not ML-Based, it is a standard hexadecimal detections engine “from byte x to byte y look for z”. This is why I’m saying malware needs to be obtained and signature (created via Evo-Gen usually) must be distributed (through streaming update). Avast also offers above average advanced attacks and scripts protection, for example IDP.Helu.25 blocks all PowerShell commands that have been encoded. CyberCapture sounds amazing on paper but is not resistant to evasive threats and frequently slaps safe verdicts on malware. Sometimes (almost always) behavioural blocking would reverse that. It also works only for executables with MOTW. Norton SDS is a static analysis engine (you can google it). [/QUOTE]
