[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 821378, member: 51905"] I don't think it's a correct test in this case I think this is better: use TCPview, open a folder full of safe files, and look for new connections from WD processes during my test of WD long ago, context scan didn't generate any new connection while executing did I have tried on-access yet I remember WD did block something when I opened the folder of malwares after being scanned WD had poor detection rate with contextual scan, <5 over 20 malwares tested but on execution, it immediately blocked most of them with cloud the context scan was turbo fast so I do think it didn't check anything with cloud emsisoft is the same, no cloud on contexual scan kaspersky, avast, norton do have a noticeable pause on contextual scan when they scan a malware. Very fast for safe file. They clearly note the cloud message in the detection (UDS in KIS, filerepmalware in avast) [/QUOTE]
