[QUOTE="harlan4096, post: 963234, member: 36043"] Well guys, this past month (October) there were finally less malware packs than usually to test ZA due to various circumstances, one of them it was quite difficult to malware hunters to find samples not detected by Kaspersky engine he he… The VM system was very, very slow running ZA, also I got weird behaviors/bugs? (already explained in some of my posted results): [LIST] [*]During some dynamic test some samples were blocked (wscript.exe) and spawned malware removed, and I did not get any warning, I had to go to Logs and check ther4e what happened. [*]During a pair of static scans, a got a big alarming notification that system got a ransomware attack… and was offered to recover the encrypted files, of course there were 0 files to recover since it was just a selective scan. [*]Quarantine showing there were 2 malware in it, but when checked it was empty… [*][COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)]And finally[/COLOR], problems uninstalling it via Windows 10 Control Panel -> Programs and Features, the process started but suddenly the window showing the process auto closed and never finished, still ZA services running… 🤦♂️🙄 [/LIST] For these reasons (and others) We could not see ZA dynamic detection protection in action as much as we would have wanted… [B]P.S.:[/B] after several tries to uninstall ZA I restarted the system and then tried again, and it seems this time the in-built uninstaller is working fine… [/QUOTE]
