[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 875009"] It depends on the file. For very new files with very low prevalence, WD has a harder time when it comes to FPs. For well known and medium to high prevalence files, WD has no issues. The latter is the category most people will experience, so in the vast majority of cases WD will do fine with FPs. Interestingly enough WD fid really well with FPs in the latest AV comparatives test. Usually it struggles due to detecting the very low to low prevalence files. Thankfully it wasn't 861 pieces of malware, would have been utter doom if it was. [/QUOTE]
