[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 773631"] I agree! While one should always take any test with a grain of salt, its nice to see that not all products are at that imaginary 99-100% mark you see with many tests. I wonder if their Live Grid would be considered part of their zero day protection? From my understanding Live Grid has some "Machine Learning" capabilities, so I would consider that some form of zero day protection. I Agree! I understand that previously it really bombed on tests, and it showed, even on AV comparatives, but Microsoft has made a lot of progress lately. Personally I think they have invested a lot in their cloud protection hence why we are seeing these improvements. Like Microsoft or not, you have to give them credit, they have turned WD around and its no longer at the bottom of the pile. Is it perfect? no... but then again no product is perfect. I agree with the performance part. TBH I think it was WD's performance that was holding it back from wider adoption, however, ever since upgrading to 1809 I have to say WD's performance has improved from 1803.
