I think that lower/no definitions update during weekends is a shame, user should consider this when choosing an AV.

Unfortunately almost all Antivirus have lapses or totally soft during weekends, so the samples that were undetected; would be included on weekdays instead.

Solution: Have a heuristic/behavior based Anti-ransomware or Anti-exe tool to complement it.
