[QUOTE="sepik, post: 911149, member: 74435"] Hi, Installed 60 day trial version of McAfee LiveSafe on my secondary PC couple of days ago. Downloaded some fresh and not so fresh malware samples. No alert while downloading them. I was like...wtf. Then installed their browser add-on and re-downloaded some of the malware samples. Now it detects them almost instantly when downloading (in "browser-level"). Seems that it makes some kind of cloud lookup, before writing it to the disk. It should detect the samples when reading/writing without the browser add-on. I really hate when opening the GUI, there's no way to disable all kind of security reports etc etc. Then, automatic updates. When i go to automatic updates tab, it says, that automatic updates are disabled. I enabled it. Then back to the home screen and then back to automatic updates tab. I still says that automatic updates are disabled. But in settings, it says that updates are enabled....sigh. The firewall said, that it blocked some "suspicious" connections. I did an IP lookup check of those and they seems to be Microsoft "Azure" servers, maybe some telemetry things? But after all, it is a solid product, good detection rates, resource friendly and the web filter is good. Not bad what McAfee used to be years ago. Kind regards, -sepik [/QUOTE]
