[QUOTE="reboot, post: 596041, member: 58939"] Okay so that short circuits some thoughts and ideas I was having around why… 1. one should really test native security as a 'whole' rather than just individual components like SmartScreen 2. excluding folders full of samples of malware and ransomware (so real time protection doesn't kick in) and then including the folders may actually skew the results. I know that none of that probably makes sense in the context of my original question, but that's where my thoughts were headed. Anyway I am a bit intimidated to ask further questions in case Umbra slaps me for being lazy and not testing things for myself. LOL On a serious note thank you to for providing such detailed explanations. I have read your post several times and each time it feels like I pick up another gem. :) [/QUOTE]
