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

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 821399, member: 32260"] This is not the correct test. WD connects with the cloud when the detection based on local machine learning algorithms has recognized the file as suspicious. So, most safe files will not be checked against the cloud. I did the test when opening the folders with malware files and TCPview. In many cases (it can take several seconds), I could see the increasing number of the sent packets by MsMpEng.exe to Remote Adress 137.117.144.39 (Microsoft servers). Checking the folder can take several seconds per file (about 15 sec./file in my case). If I did not open anything, the MsMpEng.exe simply disappeared from the TCPview after some time. My conclusion is that WD on access detection is based on the local resources supported by cloud (if needed). [/QUOTE]
