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

[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 821737, member: 51905"] I have done this type of test 4 times in total. Still get the same result extracting with 7zip doesn't spawn any connection while with file explorer or bandizip, there is clearly a new connection I left the file executed by 7z for 2 minutes, nothing happened, CPU usage was low, like it didn't do anything I even tested with high settings (reboot) and extracted with 7zip - 1st time: blocked shortly after executed, no encryption - 2nd time: files were encrypted, blocked late => inconsistent offline + high settings Very high CPU during analysis (~70%), encrypted, no action from WD I guess WD strictly depends on cloud. There is no block component except signatures which works offline [/QUOTE]
