[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 847014, member: 32260"] I noticed one peculiar thing about testing methodology. In the case of WD, the samples were not blocked/quarantined after download. It means that WD Block at First Sight feature was not triggered. If so, then the most important WD feature (in the real-world scenario) was dysfunctional (it works by default with web browsers). I think that the Manager which was used in the test did run the samples without "Mark Of The Web" (MOTW). That is not good, because some other AVs also can use MOTW to trigger additional protection in the real-world scenario. For example, the Avast CyberCapture feature does not work for EXE files without MOTW. There is another thing that can differ this test from the tests made by other AV testing Labs. The samples were not demanding for most of the free AVs (100% protection????). Such results strongly suggest that the AV web/browser protection blocked the fresh samples and the others were simply blocked by signatures in the cloud. If so, then more advanced AV features were tested only for AVs without (or weak) web/browser protection. [/QUOTE]
