[QUOTE="509322, post: 610048"] Exactly. Read the reports in their entirety. Scan and then whatever remains is executed. Zero-day in the case of files means perhaps a day or so old. It could be 5 minutes old or more. Zero-days could be anything. If I locate 172 ransomware samples from established, well-known ransomware families - like TorrentLocker, CTB Locker, CryptoLocker, etc - then Avira heuristics are capable enough to obtain high detection upon scanning and file execution, plus cloud query. The sample sets are representative of what is actually encountered in the wild. That mostly means the same malware manipulated to avoid scan engine detection. I don't think duped by the labs. You duped yourself. If you don't understand what the tests are and what they actually test - then you will make false assumptions and mis-informed decisions based upon what you think the test results mean versus what they actually mean.
