[QUOTE="RLim, post: 412900, member: 29963"] We understand your concern on this. The reason why we gathered 12 engines not due to marketing, but due to the fact that antivirus engines detects virus at different rate. In one case, engine A might detect virus X first but in another case, engine B will detect virus Y first and so on. By having the 12, we hope to get you covered so all virus can be detected early enough. Universal AV depends on having the sample files in the cloud for the scanning. With crowd sourcing, we hope to have all possible samples. We are currently working on a version which allow you to send the files directly to the Universal AV when Universal AV do not have information of the file to be executed.
