[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 847517, member: 51905"] I like the way you test WD because that's how I saw WD being infected many times in my country. Any test is valid for WD in specific conditions (malwares from USB flashdrives, network drives, password-protected zip files,...) I think you misunderstood Andy somehow. Let me summarize it: 1/ A file must be downloaded from a browser (chrome, for example). Ignore IE/Edge's SmartScreen (which is the browser filter) 2/ Windows Smartscreen can be included or ignored, depends on your decision but it's better to add a description that SmartScreen is on or off 3/ The file after being downloaded should have "Mark-of-the-web" (when you right-click to the file and select "Properties", there should be "Unblock" button - but don't click it) 4/ When the file has Mark-of-the-web, Block-at-first-sign (BAFS) will be initiated. If the file doesn't have it, WD won't use BAFS Andy means BAFS is the most powerful feature of WD so when you ignore it, you reduce WD strength a lot against new malwares [/QUOTE]
