[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 819553"] Agreed, it missed a sample yes, but that doesn't make it a POS. As good as Norton is, it too can miss malware. Nothing is perfect and quite frankly we need to stop expecting perfection. No product is perfect and all products will miss things. That's why I always say, it doesn't matter how well a product scores on a test, all it takes is 1 piece of malware to get through and this applies to all products/vendors, it doesn't matter. That's fair and all, but again no product is perfect. It doesn't matter how many companies they buy, or how much money they put in to it, the fact remains that all products will miss malware and anyone can get infected using any product. This result just further proves this point. Eset could add a behavior blocker, but again, it doesn't catch everything and it too will miss things. Emsisoft for example has an excellent BB, but it too still misses things. Having a certain piece of technology doesn't make all your problems go away. Fact is, malware is still a cat and mouse game. AV vendors get an edge, hackers eventually find ways around them. Why else do we constantly read about companies/government getting hacked, with whatever security solution they have in place, sitting quietly not aware they are infected or a hacker is stealing data. Look at the Wanacry fiasco, that ransomware, spread so fast that it essentially flew by all security products that were out there. At they end of the day, you cannot expect a product to catch everything. I do not know why people still act surprised when a product misses a piece of malware. This has been on going for years, with all vendors and unfortunately it will continue to always happen.(y) [/QUOTE]
