[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1094506, member: 92939"] 1. No 2. I don't know why these testers bother with contextual analysis. Personally, on a sample pack (that I create myself), I do a 1st analysis to see if the engine can recognize several samples. You should know that signature recognition is totally OBSOLETE these days, given the millions of new malware being created every day. Next, I run the unrecognized samples to see if the antivirus will be able to block malicious actions when confronted with the malware. This is what we call behavioral (or pro-active) protection, and it's an added bonus for antivirus programs to stop a potential infection. Contextual click testing alone is clearly useless. [/QUOTE]
