[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1113774, member: 99014"] Generally to identify scam stores, people would have to look for reviews. Many of these reviews could be fake, so 5-star reviews from people who registered solely to leave them are very suspicious. The truth will be in the 1 and 2 star reviews always. Always use trusted websites and stores that have built a reputation over the years. Symantec uses reputation only on certain files and calculates it differently. For Symantec, you as a user make a difference, so if you come across a lot of malware, all files on your system, even if safe, have less of a “weight” to the calculation algorithm, compared to a user that only downloads safe files. Next, it looks at factors such as prevalence. Check Point reputation comes from internal and external feeds and to a huge extent, from the emulation. Symantec does not monitor reputation of other system objects, apart from files and connections. The Symantec reputation Insight “thingy” is designed to be a fully unsupervised system. That’s how the Zero Phishing is designed, the analysis is rather complicated so it starts when you interact with a form. If you don’t interact with the site, then it can’t steal your credentials and cloud resources can be saved. It is possible to bypass pretty much all ransomware protections out there. The full product with all capabilities is difficult to bypass. [/QUOTE]
