To check URL against Avast?Norton database, I have to submit it to Norton safeweb.
Avast database (representing Norton too) is included for file check, but not for URL check on VT!

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

no no i meant i shared safeweb results screenshot was not needed.
ESET is the one most missing URL samples, followed by Bitdefender; while Kaspersky and Norton (Avast) are the most detecting.
I was posting the screenshot during the exact moment you were posting the link; I found both in front of me at the same moment
If a default deny anti-exe like CyberLock or AppGuard would block it. Then I know something bad is happening. No need to question why. No need to wait for detection signatures. CL likes to prompt you. AG just notifies you.
By the way AppGuard does seem to slow down my 2020 laptop.

SAC/WDAC is light on my 2012 PC; I do not know if as efficient as AppGuard or not.
If you can't beat them, copy them. Hehe
AG has it's own different logic. It is not reputation based nor signature based. If it runs from a user writable dir it is blocked. If a guarded application like Office or Adobe PDF tries to run it and it attempts messing with memory of another app it is blocked, attempts messing with registry it is blocked. If it uses OS utils the wrong way it is blocked. I am still evaluating it so i don't have all the answers. Hard to say if it is efficient, I does things differently, can't compare apple to orange. Shadowra did a test and it blocked every single one.
Looks very aggressive; the decision depends to what extenst it can impair the usability experience.
AG guards applications and stops them from doing harmful things. It does not protect the guarded app itself. The guarded app is stopped from doing harmful things. ChatGPT explains it as stopping the chain at the source. Office and PDF reads untrusted docx and untrusted PDFs, so something has to stop them from being weaponized. If they spawn a child process, that child process is similarly 'contained' - no memory injection, no registry modifcation, no calling OS utils in the wrong way.
I thought I was being smart and since mmc (gpedit.msc, services.msc ...) is a lolbin, I decided to add it to the guarded list. And then run gpedit. And it stopped at several occcasions resulting in 'not working'. So I have to remove it from the guarded list. And then gpedit works perfectly. It behaves differently depending if it was started on its own or started some other way. Danb says Cyberlock also watches the parent process of a process to determine whether it can be allowed to run.

MD ASR rules have a subset for such a purpose.
I'm sorry I misspoke. AG does have a reputation component - it has a short trusted vendors list and it knows their signatures.
A third one not detected even by Symantec, but only by behavioral analysis of VT and sandbox of HA.
