[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 720873, member: 51905"] because malwares can pass through google and get into your system, then google can't do anything but your AV can. It's always better to have 2 web filters than 1 because when you look at the tests again against 20 malwares links, google always missed something -> you AV's web filter can catch it. Even google + norton safe web or avira browser safety can catch everything + you have windows smartscreen after you download the file (it works similarly to Edge's smartscreen) I might test forti when I have time AVs with file shield disabled can still cause conflict because they install drivers into your system and they are active regardless of your setup especially AVs from big companies (kaspersky, norton, BD, avast,...) the more simple the AV is, the less potential conflict it may cause EDIT: I extracted some malware URLs from the hub [SIZE=4][B]Mixed Threats #20 (23.03.2018) [/B] when I pasted them to download, google blocked nothing while kaspersky blocked almost all, Forti according to virustotal can also block most of them when I comes to real malwares not coming from vxvault or malc0de, kaspersky and forti are >>>>> google the great thing about Google safebrowsing is it warns you against files with poor reputation and allows you to decide whether to download it or not although it's not in the blacklist [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
