[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 903498, member: 32260"] I have a similar case on the computer of my son. He downloaded a mod for some game (JSE compiled script). He installed the mod bypassing my anti-script protection because people on the game forum considered this JSE file as safe. It was not also detected by WD. In fact, it was bundled with cryptomining PUA. After a few days, he asked me for help. I quickly neutralized the malware by deleting the autorun key and after reboot, I checked the script on Virus Total. Only two AVs could detect it, because it used the legal cryptomining code. After several days the number of detections slowly increased. Of course, I did not change the AV - it would be irrational in this case. The malware infections are random and WD has one of the best script detection. But, I can imagine that most people would change the AV simply by the fact of disappointment. Of course, changing WD to Kaspersky could be possible too. [/QUOTE]
