[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 939624, member: 32260"] Norton can do very well in all such tests, because it uses a combination of Sonar and Norton Insight (reputation service in the Cloud). Norton Insight is similar in idea to Windows SmartScreen Application Reputation but more comprehensive (does not need MOTW, can block loaded DLLs). Malicious executables (EXE, DLL, etc.) have low prevalence and poor reputation so they are blocked. If the non-executable file tries to download/drop/execute the executable payload, then it is checked against the file reputation backend and will be blocked too. Due to using a file reputation Norton has one of the higher false positives rates. Anyway, Norton's protection can be bypassed via fileless attacks that do not use malicious executable files.
