[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 789472"] Huge amount of false positives (due to low rep files), as well as huge performance hit. All around WD gets in the way of my work (mostly when I'm developing software in VS), I won't even mention the lack of ease of use (lots of hidden settings behind powershell, regedit), using third-party software to configure WD is not an excuse. In comparison when I used KIS last year, it didn't bother me once nor affected my desktop performance in anyway. Right now I'm not using any security suite (WD turned OFF), as I don't need. What people need is a brain and safe habits (Windows is perfectly safe without any security suite). [/QUOTE]
