[QUOTE="Anthony Qian, post: 984601, member: 91446"] What I want to emphasize is that Avast's CyberCapture is not the same as ESET's LiveGuard/EDTD. For most harmful samples, CyberCapture won't send them as a whole to its cloud for analysis; only a few suspicious ones will be sent. As a result, in my testing, many dangerous samples (for example, MBR killer) were rated as "safe to open" by local heuristics, without being sent to the cloud. LiveGuard is different, everything unknown will be sent to the cloud sandbox for analysis. In short, the threshold for sending files to the cloud differs, and CyberCapture relies more on its local heuristic engine and LiveGuard relies solely on its cloud sandbox. I also want to mention another cloud-based detection technology from Avira - Avira Protection Cloud (APC). APC also uses local heuristics when deciding whether or not to send a file to the cloud. It primarily uses cloud-based heuristics to reach a decision in the cloud, allowing it to display results in seconds. It outperforms the above two in terms of detection rate in my testing. [/QUOTE]
