[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 750837, member: 61892"] Yes, that is why I gave up on AVs long time ago. It is an never ending war, some battles are won, some lost. What is the point of fighting then? True, but chances of being infected by the fresh sample are unlikely, it takes days to spread. K9 blocks all links on MalCode/PhishTank. :giggle: The hassle takes a few mins, but people want everything to be served to them. It is easier to just install AV and be done with it. There was once a french testing site, testing fresh samples daily, ESET had the top score 50-60%, the rest was around 30-40%. No wonder, it is gone. [/QUOTE]
