[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 808404, member: 32260"] I believe you. But please note, that your personal experience cannot be generalized, just like the personal YouTube video tests. You can see on this and other threads some people that were not infected when using WD and did not have performance issues (except well known). There can be several sources of your bad experience with WD: [LIST=1] [*]WD is often preinstalled on the computers with Windows 10. So there is much greater chance that you will see someone infected with WD than with another AV. [*]After infection, many people learn something and are more cautious. So, when you install another AV (after WD), you cannot be sure that it is better than WD. [*]You may have a bad luck (statistical fluctuation) with WD. [/LIST] That is probably true. The user starts with WD and gets infected. He/she installs 3-rd party AV and gets infected. It usually means that he/she did not learn much. So, why he/she should not be infected with another AV?
