[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 808391, member: 51905"] reasons why I never use WD: personal: too high disk activity with my type of usage general, for other PCs I configure: - people in my country download cracks packed in zip files with password -> BAFS & smartscreen are intentionally bypassed. Have seen too many PCs infected this way. Recently disinfected some PCs with WD installed - people are still using external storage a lot -> another way to bypass - most PCs around me are using HDDs with =<4GB of RAM and old CPUs => Windows 10 is a burden I don't mind good things or theories/advanced features other people are saying about WD. This is what I observed nobody uses tweaked settings, same for other AVs avast and kaspersky seem to cover better most malwares in my country because everyone is using them while other AVs may end up with infection the best AV for you is the one you can squeeze the best out of it by tweaking or combining it with something else + you feel comfortable + you don't get any infection for years [/QUOTE]
