TM, poor detection rate
Hello,
For several days I am following this on Virus Total:
3 days ago only 11 antiviruses had a detection; every 6 hours more and more added their own detection.
Even Microsoft Defender was among first 15 to add detection.
Now, we have 32 vendors showing detection.
But not TM.
As a matter of fact , I searched around 80 malwares on VT and the only "big players" constantly not showing a detection where TM and Webroot.
Question for TM: How do you manage to stay in business with such poor detection rate????

Hi @claudiubotezatu,
Thanks for sharing this with our community. Trend Micro has layered protection. Files are scanned during download and execution.
We've also raised this with our experts.

@claudiubotezatu
Please keep in mind, that Virustotal results are not direct measurement of what different AVs will detect/block. As a malware tester, i found Trend Micro really effective against unknown malwares and espicially against ransomwares. TM signature detection is average, which you will see on the VT results.
But where TM shines, it is BB/AI of it. These detections are not shown in VT detection list. Switch to TM Hypersensitive and you will get a lot better protection in all layers.
However, there's a cons too. I do like to see it to protect:
Protect the Keys
And especially there "Key Value Created" section.
So if i want to get TM down, make a .bat or what ever executable, that can modify those registry key critical values. Then do fast shutdown. And you have a system that, does not work.

just a quick update here @claudiubotezatu, for the status of the detection you raised, it is now detected as TROJ_FRS.VSNTLQ22.
