[QUOTE="danb, post: 866947, member: 62850"] Thank you for your suggestions! VS actually already has a false positive detection feature that is quite similar to what you are talking about. Although, it does not include your idea about the Bitdefender sigs... that is a great point and an easy fix. But yeah, you will see a purple alert (mix of red and blue) from time to time that is a false positive alert, and it recommends that the user allow the file, assuming they intended to launch it. I completely agree that our alerts need to be as user friendly as possible, which is the entire point of this discussion. I will say, we get TONS of compliments on our alerts... even Leo from the PCSC likes VS's alerts, which is significant since he is no longer a fan of the non-traditional products. [MEDIA=youtube]eSaI805VemE:151[/MEDIA] So we are not looking to completely change our alerts, unless someone comes up with a concept that absolutely blows everyone away. We are looking to tweak and clarify them, kind of like what you did in your design samples. For example, VS has a user recommendation on the prompts, and we need to make that more clear to the user. VS has been growing tremendously the last year or two, and we do not want to fix something that is not broken. Thanks again for the design samples, I am excited to see what people think! [/QUOTE]
