Indeed nobody said WD is infallible, by "infallible" I was referring to MS products which are often spoken of as if talking of pope or something.
My choice is still WD even if Kaspersky outperforms it, anti-virus is irrelevant for protection anyway.
I did my test and figured out WD is not capable to detect malware in ISO files that are packed into zip archive several levels deep.
Even though I enabled a setting in GPO for WD to scan archives up to 10 levels deep WD failed only because of ISO files.
As soon as I unpacked archives and ISO files WD detected a trojan that was FUD some 6 months ago, so that's something!
I've also installed Kaspersky into VM however Kaspersky doesn't support recursive scanning of external hard drives attached to VM which makes it useless for testing in a safe manner.
I was tempted to install Kaspersky to host system to compare it with WD and then stumbled upon the following:
Out of interest I clicked on links to see why the heck it is not intended for use and determined it's indeed not wise to use it.
