[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 703537, member: 51905"] some reasons why you should NOT enable it although you can 1/ poor detection rate compare to other second opinion scanners: HMP, ZAM, NPE, EEK 2/ slow scanning speed 3/ if enabled, WD still downloads signatures and stays on your memory and consumes your resources. WD consumes a lot of resources when it's updating 4/ potential conflicts with your AVs 5/ WD can't fully utilize its cloud. The cloud works best when a file is executed. 2 scans can yield different detection rates [/QUOTE]
