[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 823895, member: 32260"] I am afraid that this statement cannot be concluded from your tests. This would require a different kind of test. It can be done by using the WD Demo webpage: [LIST=1] [*]Set WD to DEFAULT Protection Level by using ConfigureDefender and [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]reboot[/B][/COLOR] the computer. [*]Use Edge (native not Chromium) to prepare 20 samples from WD Demo webpage which bypassed BAFS. Do not run the samples from the hard disk. On my computer, I had to create about 40 demo samples, because about half of them were detected and removed from disk by BAFS. [*]Set WD Cloud Protection Level to High by using ConfigureDefender and [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]reboot[/B][/COLOR] the computer. Check that the Internet connection has been established. [*]Open the folder with samples (do not run them), many samples should be quarantined. [/LIST] That was a result on my computer, which strongly suggests that HIGH settings are also much stronger for EXE files than DEFAULT settings. This test cannot be done with ShadowDefender in Shadow mode on boot, because WD settings would be restored to DEFAULT settings after reboot. Unfortunately, it may be not easy to repeat the similar test on the real samples, because it is not easy to separate the samples blocked by BAFS from the samples blocked by other Cloud AI features or signatures. Furthermore, Cloud detection can be different when the same samples are run at different moments of time (Cloud AI can learn).(y) [/QUOTE]
