I did not realize that Trend Micro was held to such a high standard. My (uninformed) opinion of them was that they were nowhere close to best of breed. But more importantly, it seems like there is a difference between the way things are and the way you think things ought to be. Look at all of the AV industry bugs from google's project zero: Avast (9): https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/list?can=1&q=label%3AProduct-Avast&colspec=ID+Type+Status+Priority+Milestone+Owner+Summary&cells=ids https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/list?can=1&q...

> I did not realize that Trend Micro was held to such a high standard nope. Not Trend Micro. All of them. And as long as they are failing as spectacularly as you're pointing out here, my recommendation is to not use AV software and instead use whitelisting of allowed applications.
