I am using Roboscan internet security after downloading a bunch of malware samples I started testing its detection rate and I turned off its realtime protection when I opened the malware folder all samples removed by roboscan without on demand scan and realtime protection was off how it managed to remove all samples with its realtime off and without on demand scan
Can anyone explain

Hello,
Did you download the samples after disabling Roboscan? Can you try again, maybe the real-time protection was enabled when you were downloading the samples?

I have tried to replicate your issue...However, this antivirus is so weak (tried it with 5 samples) that it can't detect the malicious sample even with the real-time protection enabled.

As a solution for your issue, I would do the following:

Go to the System Protection tab, in the Real-time Protection field click on Settings, then go to Detection Exclusions and select the path of where you are downloading the malware to exclude from it's real-time protection.
