[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 932787, member: 32260"] Although we probably cannot use the anomalous tests to reflect the AV protection in the wild, such tests strongly suggest what should be done to strengthen the Trend Micro protection while using cracks, pirated software, game mods, and other shady stuff. Such executables could be used earlier in the web/mail originated attacks where there is a greater chance that the user of another AV was infected (while Trend Micro users were protected). So, although there will not be the malware signature in the Trend Micro base, there will be the signature in the base of another AV. The user can manually check the file against something like HitmanPro to increase the protection.:)(y) Warning. Using shady stuff is not recommended and sooner or later will end with the virus infection. Anyway, in some countries, the conversion to US $ makes the price unacceptable, and poor people often use (even buy) pirated software.:( [/QUOTE]
