[QUOTE="toto, post: 883463, member: 29053"] Is your friend sure that Kaspersky wouldn't detect the threat via it's behaviour blocking components or stop it from connecting to the internet as it might be flagged as suspicious or something, it's really not easy to determine a success story or a failure story in these cases in my opinion. Obviously no one wants to test how Kaspersky or any product would react to a threat proactively and just because it wasn't detected by the signatures of the product it could have been rendered incapable of doing any harm. Just saying that the user that encounters a lot of threats online is someone who is going to allow suspicious files on a default deny application because they will mostly be cracks and keygens but the one that isn't of this sort is going to be hidden in a crack file either way.
