[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 983210, member: 31436"] I scanned a large malware collection and there were only 245 detections, of which 99% were "Heuristics.Broken.Executable," indicating that these files were corrupted. There were very few actual threats detected - maybe one or two. I had a look at the settings and saw that option to automatically upload unknown files is disabled by default. I enabled that and ran another scan. It took 18 hours to complete the scan and the detection rate was poor. I'm sure that detection rate will improve in time, but the exceptionally slow scan speeds are a problem. I'm running a third scan now, to see if any more threats are detected and it's just as slow.
