[QUOTE="woodrowbone, post: 143792, member: 1062"] The interesting part would have been if you did try to run some of the samples it missed in the scan. Just because WSA mainly works like a behavior blocker, the files actions will be analysed in the cloud and then it springs into action. All actions during this time is "recorded" by WSA, and then later if detected bad, WSA will perform a "rollback" of all the actions taken by the malware. The malware is also crippled even if it is not detected, as it is most likely "monitored" by WSA if you execute the file. (It can not leak info, keystrokes and such actions during the time it is monitored) You can play with this after executing a couple of malware and see for yourself, if you right click on the icon in the task bar and choose: Control Active Processes Move the processes started by the malware to blocked to see the magic :) What then happens will also happen when WSA picks up on the file and detects it, it will remove and rollback all changes by that process. I posted this before, but I think it is useful for people who do not understand how WSA works: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKMZ1Ukw_7I]What happens when Webroot misses a virus[/url] When you get familiar with this product, and learn how it works it is hard to not like it :) If you have the time I would really appreciate to see this in one of your videos.
