Bravo F-secure! (Winner of AV-C Performance Test October 2020)

Followed your instructions and just as you said, F-Secure did delete the file as soon I accessed the folder where I saved it. But, I was very able to not just restore the file, but also exclude it. Simply went to quarantine, and clicked Allowed and F-Secure asked if I really wanted to exclude the file and also allow it to be executed. It was of course not automatic executed/run but when or if I wanted. Refreshed the page where I had the folder and, Voilà the file was back.

It's a random bug then. Not reproducible every time. Did F-Secure asked for system restart?

Nope it didn't and that is not something I personal see or recall much on my own system. Still, it was a interesting test. I'll see if I can find any more information about this possible bug on their forum as normally when it's a general bug, those get report a lot.

The other one was related to sandboxie driver which was already installed on the system. Since it's a driver with a process that was already running, it probably caused F-Secure to ask for system restart. Then the sample I pointed you out was also detected. So I think you have check the other one to see if the bug happens.

Ok, let me know if anyone else want to try this or point them to my comment on how to reproduce this. The sandboxie method is the correct way to test it. I suggested you the wrong method of reproducing. Sorry about that.
