[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1097474, member: 99014"] You don’t need to go away, I got no problem discussing with you. It is what it is, it’s how it’s been designed. In the case of ZoneAlarm (and CP Harmony) there are 2 emulations. One serves as a “download manager” in your browser and the other one is a file monitor that pre-scans and sends for emulation everything that is dropped, copied, written, etc. But in the case of the other AVs that I mentioned, this is how it works. For example Norton (it was mentioned in official documentations as well which I am not sure if I can find now, it was years ago), SONAR is more aggressive towards files that come from untrusted websites. So if you just put file on desktop from a flash drive or before installing Norton, it may not be detected. I sort of understand this decision to apply a bit more security at the doors, I am not commenting any further whether it is amazing or not. If that's the only way to not delete half of the user files... I personally would prefer to use a solution that covers everything equally as well, but the point is, when testing, you gotta take into account this design. Webroot business version’s management console clearly displays this, look: [ATTACH type="full" width="354px" alt="1723643069003.png"]284914[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
