[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 938592"] This constant back and forth about WD is getting old quite frankly. There's no such thing as the "best AV" and afaik, no one EVER said that WD is the "best AV in the whole world." WD has improved significantly on many fronts over the years and continues to do so....that doesn't mean it's perfect. As it's been said, WD improvements have been shown, over and over by multiple tests and testing organizations....it's not made up. I mean only a few years ago WD would constantly score 75%, or less on an AV-comparatives test, yet no one had a problem......Now it's scoring much higher, so naturally these tests are wrong, there's no possible way WD can be that good. [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] has a wealth of knowledge concerning WD and has done a good job of explaining the intricacies of how WD works, as well as it's strengths and weaknesses. Sadly like many things, MS does a poor job with their documentation, so the confusion understandable. Furthermore, it does take time for past reputations to be overcome...so there's that aspect as well. As others have stated, while not perfect, WD can definitely be considered to be among the best, it's just up to you if you want to use it, or not... If you don't like it, don't use it...no one said that WD has to be used and liked by everyone, so just use what works for you. :emoji_beer::) [/QUOTE]
