Just had CyberCapture invoked on a very new unique file (project I work with someone) and I said to myself, I’ll let it be analyzed just for fun to see how long it’ll take. Was expecting like half an hour wait time and then like 30 seconds later I already got the verdict from CyberCapture server. The file was clean. I have to say, that’s pretty amazing response time!
If this remains the norm and detection capabilities go up, we are looking into pretty amazing security feature.
Now they need to checlk ALL Files from anywhere they are coming and just keep behind it to optimize it
They should certainly include more vectors, like USB/external drives. Local may indeed prove to be a bit taxing and problematic. I mean, every time I compile an EXE and test it, it would get sent to CyberCapture, annoying me and annoying avast! team because it’s placing unnecessary load on the CyberCapture servers. But yeah, if they can include more conditions when files are captured with CyberCapture so it won’t be just HTTP(S), then it’ll be better.
Interesting read here from F-Secure blog how machine learning work

CyberCapture needs to target other file types other than exe too such as js files since they are becoming used more now to spread malware.
I’m really liking how quick and light cybercapture works in Avast. Doesn’t slow down my apps, especially new indie steam games
How I’m glad to see sunny days in the horizon!
Thanks RejZor for your posting.
Let’s hope and assume that Avast + AVG features and engines will bring us further on proactive protection 8)
