[QUOTE="LDogg, post: 913399, member: 72150"] We also have to think outside of MWT, outside of anyone knowing Andy Ful, no one else will know [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER]'s software even exists. So we have to look at the major con, the home user outside MWT. So a major percentage of users which are not on this forum, doesn't know about Andy's software, or even understand the advanced settings of WD would essentially use the default settings, making WD effectively useless as detailed within this the first post. This is why major AV companies have a massive advantage over WD, Configure Defender et al. So the average home user would use a free or paid alternative. Plus you have to factor it the bloat WD has compared to other(s), and factor in the time it takes some users to understand configuring out the WD advanced settings (not including Andys software). So the vital note here would be the alternatives would be seemlessly better. Also not good for those users who do a lot of internet banking/online shopping. I do not use WD personally because of the bloat on memory, scan speeds, scan speeds on the memory and out of the box on default settings you may as well have a piece of cling film covering your laptop. I do not hate WD, I think incorporating the advanced settings w/ Andy's software would match AV competitors. ~LDogg [/QUOTE]
