[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 805215"] Absolutely! It's basically a war zone out there and is really a big fight between the various security companies and the bad guys/gals. Each trying to one up each other. It's the reason why IMHO people shouldn't really stress too much about test results. It's not about defending, or making excuses one way or another about a product, or products, but simply the realization that nothing is perfect and you cannot guarantee 100% all the time. Wannacry is a perfect example, initially bypassing everything, some were able to respond faster than others, but when you step back and look at it, the rate that it spread virtually had all security companies freaking out, if you know what I mean.;) Home users really aren't subject to these types of things anyways. Not saying home users cannot get infected, but the reality is home users really shouldn't worry about these types of things all that much. Habits are everything, if you practice safe habits, there's a very high chance that you will remain malware free. Doesn't mean something still can't happen, but your odds are much better.:)(y) [/QUOTE]
