To be fair Cylance received an engine update at the start of the year. It’s supposed to lower false postives and increase detection.
The test in the video was made only on EXE files. So, we must wait until Cylance will be tested again by AV testing labs. Such improvement in the detection is possible and welcome. :)

Yup, I personally have a lifetime license and was already testing it. It never detected scripts as their Script control isn't included in the home version.

First Malwarebytes, now Cylance. If these shops turn their products around they might turn the forum upside down ;). Definitely waiting to see some of the improvements coming from many AV solution providers

Cylance never was actually bad, they just didn't take the home version seriously and because of that some very important modules are only available in the enterprise version. Cylance is still very basic but it's a great software for combos. Hope they add more stuff to the home version in the future.
