[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 856898, member: 32260"] That is the point. It is not a test, but rather a demonstration of the author's believes and experience. He is sure that WD alone cannot be a top AV (which is true). He makes a video, and adds the comment (below the video on the website) which could suggest that the results are not so good as compared to the top AVs (which does not follow from the "test"). So, it is an educational video to demonstrate people the truth without proving it. In fact, the "test" results (with the Internet connection) are typical to the results of some YouTube "tests" for AVs with dedicated anti-ransomware protection (two missed samples confirmed with the Internet connection). Only the author's comments tell another story. Furthermore, such a single test cannot say much about real AV protection - we could know it only after many such tests performed on several AVs. Edit.
