Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 821316, member: 51905"] it depends on user type. For example, in my country, the number people being infected with WD is countless since they frequently look for cracks, patches which are delivered via password-protected zip/rar files in this case, WD only functions as a signature scanner, no more. Cloud can't save it as I demonstrated in some of my tests advanced features like block at first sight and smartscreen are intentionally bypassed forget about tweaking because 99% of WD users don't know about tweaking. If they know, they are unlikely to be infected in the first place People will argue that people playing with cracks will be infected regardless of AVs they use => my argument: much less likely with other AVs, although it's still frequent WD is a highly conditional AV, which functions in certain situations but doesn't in others (USB, password-protection archives, or anything not coming from your browser) [/QUOTE]
