[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 870391, member: 51905"] there are 3 major downsides of WD for me (dealbreakers): - The latest technologies are not available for older Windows versions (older 10, win 7 and 8). I use windows 7 and 8.1. All of my PCs can't handle Windows 10 smoothly - There is no way to optimize for better performance. Tweaks mostly increase resource usage - When we mess with Windows Update services or tweak via registry -> WD stops updating properly and it's not easy to fix (although cloud is still working) optional: - Context scan has completely no integration with cloud + offline signatures are extremely poor/outdated -> this makes periodic or on-demand scans next to useless => open the folder you want to scan and let WD's realtime protection scans it automatically -> this has cloud integration [/QUOTE]
