[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 822320"] Well to be fair, I think it's unrealistic to expect it to block everything, same goes for every product. Don't get me wrong, I love what you are doing and have zero issues with it, I think it's awesome you are back to testing(y):), This is not directed at you at all, but I just want to make light of the fact that if the exception is that WD, or any product that is tested on the HUB, needs to be perfect and infection free all the time, well I think that's a very unrealistic expectation. It's no different than someone saying that a product that got 98% on AV-Comparatives sucks. Since when did 98% become a failure, I would be happy to say that I got 98% on all my tests throughout school. From my understanding the HUB was never meant designed to pit products against each other and was never intended to be used as a way to choose a product. If one wants to look at tests to decided which product to use, that's fine, but one should look at all tests, not just specific ones with the assumption that test x is more important than test y. What I mean is, when you look at all their professional tests as a whole WD has definitely improved. Now I'm not saying they are more important than the HUB, I like what everyone that participates in the HUB is doing, but one cannot say that the HUB should be rated higher than the other ones, that's just cherry picking results. Every test will have pro's and con's, nothing is perfect, but one should look at all tests, not just one or 2. For the record, I'm not here to make excuses for WD, the results are the results, but I just think there's an unrealistic expectation that products need to pretty much be infection free every time in order to be considered good. This isn't just about WD, it's about all products that are tested on the HUB. As I always say, no product is perfect, every product will miss things and to think otherwise is silly.
