    No, it is not this one. It is a new dialog that Webroot introduced some month ago in order to improve the scores. I think trjam mentioned it in the thread - it has the options allow, allow once and block.

    Not one yellow or red mark against MSE. Consistency plus.

    Trend Micro only has 100% from one month so dealing in months:

    Symantec - November 2011.
    BitDefender - August 2012.
    F-Secure - August 2012.

    Thanks, but this looks like a warning for an application that wants to connect to internet when run. Does not sound as a typical malware action as soon as executed. And the block would only block internet connection not the rest. Or am I wrong? So, it looks more like a fail than a user dependent.

    Trend Micro looks to be the best all of a sudden as per the tests. Very hard to believe.

    What have they done all of a sudden?

    I'm not sure what is going on with Trend Micro, but I can say this for certainty: I installed Trend's Titanium Maximum Security recently (free license) and it absolutely made a pretty-decent 8GB laptop crawl; it was installed for all of about an hour before being uninstalled.

    AV-Test shows it slows down your PC almost twice as much as the average AV program.
