[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 779194, member: 32260"] They are not scanned by SmartScreen, but by "Block at first sight" feature. In the default settings they should be scanned up to 10s. The "Block at first sight" is that WD feature which makes it to score very well in AV-Comparatives tests, with a very low rate of user dependent actions. It is not a simple file reputation service like SmartScreen. The file is checked against WD offline signatures, next by the local WD AI, and if the file is suspicious, then file metadata is checked in the cloud against the fresh malware fingerprints and often analyzed by advanced AI in the cloud (based on machine learning). If you think that 10s-60s is annoying, then think how much time you would spend when seeing the quick alert: "Be careful, this file is suspicious and can be dangerous". [/QUOTE]
