[QUOTE="danb, post: 916725, member: 62850"] [USER=36043]@harlan4096[/USER], thank you for the first test... great catch! I tested and confirmed that there is indeed a bug in AutoPilot mode for .jar files. In my quick and dirty test, VS properly blocked the file in Smart ON mode, but missed the file when it was on AutoPilot (so I am sure it would miss the file in Smart OFF mode as well). Is that what your test reflects as well? I was actually thinking about removing .jar support in VS because this type of malware was not so common for a while, requires JRE (which the user install base is dwindling) and is disabled by default in similar products because this block does produce false positives, especially for business users. But .jar has made a comeback recently, so we will be keeping .jar support and ensure that it works properly in all VS modes. Thanks again, great catch, I appreciate your help! [/QUOTE]
