I don’t like to leave things on a note of discord, nor is there reason to, so i will say that you’ve made some fair points, though a bit vague, but possibly for good reason. Hopefully there really is more to the FileRep mechanism than mentioned in the article, as you yourself have said. I still find the wording a bit misleading, as it doesn’t really succeed where standard definitions and heuristics fail; what it does is augment them, while still in part relying on them. It’s only fair to note that regardless of my doubt expressed in Cloud Services, i intend to use them and leave them on, and for the time being am quite satisfied with my experience using the free version of Avast.
So thank you for your input, and here’s to the success of Cloud Services.
