I was curious enough to buy a cylance license Been running it for several months. I like it. Very light and trouble-free, system impact, if any, is not noticeable. I can't really comment on detection, as I don't intentionally throw malware at it. I do not get false positives either. Plays nice with other security apps, but not all. It did block Panda Cloud Cleaner from running, so you might consider that a false positive, but I did not, I saw it as cylance protecting itself from getting "corrupted" by incompatible software. Not mean as a negative comment on Panda, just my observation.
Thank you for the info. It sounds really good and definitely worth paying for. Thank you again.

Wow these tests seem to be more and more bogus as time goes on, the false positives are funny though.:ROFLMAO:
The fact they posted on multiple forums, means they are still relevant. Majority are overly fixated on the percentages.

Source: General observations.

interested in seeing your tests. (y) my experience cylance does an "automatic" background scan immediately after install, and finds things, and you might get a FP if it considers the FP as "not corporate pc friendly" -- (my description). I understood the few FP the initial scan found, but after that, I have not had FP.
