[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 997528, member: 78686"] MD did well (y) Yeah, they haven't managed to fix it yet. But to have the best possible chance of avoiding this bug, you can not turn off MD's real time protection before extracting the sample pack. You have to keep it on and extract the malware pack. When I tested a couple of months ago twice with a pack of 100+ exe malware, MD was able to empty the folder completely automatically without leaving anything behind. IMO, every AV should be tested like this, turning off real time protection is not a proper way of testing but anyway, that's another thing. For MD, it's necessary but even this method doesn't guarantee success all the time, so they should fix it. [/QUOTE]
