[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 856547, member: 32260"] Simply, such users ignore alerts and turn off the protection - this behavior is not related to the concrete AV. Of course, if you think about WD on Windows 7, then it is not a true AV (only antispyware). [B]It is true, that WD on Windows 10 has the default settings set to simplicity and convenience, which can probably lower its protection level. [/B]But, most of the real-world AV tests show no real difference between WD and other free AVs (and some paid AVs too). There are no such (reliable) statistics for WD on Windows 10. Furthermore, a good choice for average users should also include such things as simplicity, system compatibility, etc. It is probable that WD is not the best choice for above-average home users, except when they learn how to tweak WD via PowerShell or accept using 3rd party configurators. It is not an answer but a fact. The more users buy computers, the fewer of them can accept unconvenient security. [/QUOTE]
