Kitchen Sink, I’m not sure I understand…
Let’s go through some theory first.
Definition: An IDEAL antivirus software is such a program that detects 100.0% of malware with 0 false positives in zero time.
Now, let me say that the change we recently implemented (skipping of scanning of certain files, such as big video files) moved avast to the direction of an ideal antivirus. I mean, this is exactly the impact of that change:
- It didn’t change the detection rates of malware in any way
- It did reduce some false positives
- It did reduce scan time.
As you can see, it was a good change and there’s absolutely no reason to be concerned.
Hope this helps,
