[QUOTE="RejZoR, post: 582527, member: 57233"] They should count 50% of proactive detections as definite detection. Because I'm pretty confident at least half of users would just decide to rather delete the file than risk it after antivirus presents them the popup warning. When it comes to programs that I know how they work and have popups that are informative enough to persuade user into clicking BLOCK rather than RUN ANYWAY, I always count "User action" as normal detection. I also do that for systems which default to "Ask user", but they are more than perfectly usable when you set it to "Block all detections". AVG's Software Analyzer (IDP) is one of those and so is Kaspersky's System Watcher and Bitdefender's ATC or in this case, Emisosoft's BB. Chances of them mistakenly flagging a clean program are super slim. Chances of them blocking a real malware on the other hand are super likely. This especially applies if you allow BB systems to communicate with the cloud and get file reputation informations, allowing it to ignore confirmed clean programs, making them spectacularly accurate while blocking very high amount of actual malware.
