EEK has an option to opt-in anti-malware network
I performed a full scan and a manual scan with EICAR test file. During these time, I monitored outbound connections but EEK never connected to the internet regardless of the detection
my questions are:
1/ what is the purpose of the anti-malware network/cloud in EEK? I don't care about EAM
2/ if the signatures are not updated, will the files be checked with the cloud? Does the cloud only work with realtime protection in the paid version?
