[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 775448, member: 37647"] You were not advised correctly. The main purpose of sandboxing WD is not to improve zero-day detection. It is for self-protection of WD. As is well known, a compromised AV is very dangerous, since it has high privelages. Sandboxing is meant to address that issue. Also, please note that WD sandboxing has not even been tested yet by Insiders. It hasn't really been born yet. EDIT: Indeed, [USER=53544]@RoboMan[/USER] already knows everything I wrote. His LOL is directed to those who foolishly think that this feature awesomely improved WD antimalware protection, when that was never its purpose. [/QUOTE]
