Interesting.

Someone posted other test results, here I believe. It said CAVS2 had about a 70% effectiveness. Which isn't at all bad for a beta product.


I sense bias information!

Then imagine CAV 3?

Then imagine CAV 3? 

Yeah. Believe me, I can't wait for my windows security alert to go away, lol.

[3xist]

Yeah. Believe me, I can't wait for my windows security alert to go away, lol.

Well you can Disable that service in Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Security Center

[MJ1988]

Well heres a tip:

Control Panel> Administative Tools> Services

Yeah, I did that when I was using CAVS2. I decided to just leave it alone though, I shouldn't anger Windows XP. I think people know how Windows can get :p. Might backfire and my system will commit suicide or something.

lol...

Believe me it is one of the services you CAN Disable. I keep it disabled my self... It wont effect anything when you disable it. You just won't get alerts, That's it.

An beta product should not be here in the list it's not fair, it's true that CAVS 2.0 beta is still in beta and the detection database is poor and thats in the beginning also reported so wait for 3.0 i believe this will beat many successors in the top 10. For now i do not trust CAVS 2.0 because a lot of trojans, malware and other poo was not detected and the list here is outdated so i do not trust always reviews and rankings it just concerns me except the firewall.

[Jabbit]

I think Norton should be No 01 in the malware list

 Come on, I know it is not perfect, but you should not call it a malware  (lol).

 Ok, seriously, I liked I lot to see the firewall's challenge, but I had never found an AV challenge... I will keep an eye on Comodo AV's score, since I want to become fully Comodized as soon as it scores higher than my current AV.

[speedosurfer]

Jabbit what i will say is don't believe every test you see, don't believe every ranking you see test it self, i test every firewall and every antivirus with an trial period for 15 or 30 days and i do this because test review bla says this, test review bla bla say this and every time i am copulating surprised that the results in many ways are not correct.

Comodo antivirus is beta software it is not intendant for commercial use or in an working/private environment but just for testing and improving.

I have written to the people of the big antivirus challenge and they have already confirmed it's not fair to test an
beta antivirus but it's interesting how to see an performance is of an beta product.

I believe that CAVS 3 is a new comer in the top ten or 5 i use now avira premium with a detection of 1.5 millions malware including viruses and all other type of malware, so if cavs 3.0 coming out i will try it but today a lot of malware is launched.

I saw your quote but Norton on number one no way i have test it and at least 16 malwares not detected, i have running Avira Premium and 14 catches, the other 2 are detected by A-Squared Anti Malware.

Mine advice lets wait for Cavs 3.0 removed your paid software and test it for an week and then run your antivirus or antimalware and see of Cavs has done his job with flying colors and yes people must send samples to comodo working together is better then barking on an distance and doing nothing.

[LirvA]

lol I think it might be better to use some sort of AV instead of disabling the windows alerts. Any AV.

Seriously, AVG, Avast, something. Avira. Some kinda AV.

Give Comodo 12 months and we will be on top.

The new Comodo Automated Malware Analysis System (CAMAS) Where Users submit files through Adds so much to detection.

Example: Comodo put 30,000 files through CAMAS, and 109 new malware were found that NO ONE detects, And it has been added to the CAV3 Database!

The power Of CAMAS is SOOOOO BLOODY GOOD! & Then you got AV Researchers around the world searching for more malware. CAMAS is something no company has!

That sounds nice ^^

Camas in spanish means beds. You're going to put the viruses to sleep?  Just kidding 

[WaterWall]

No it's gonna kill them. (but they used the word sleep not to scare them too much)  There is another meaning, but it's dirty  I like COMODOS sense of humour

I have confidence in the Comodo team to make CAVS the #1 in the market for proactive detection, removal, resource usage, self-protection and false positives.  Posts from Comodo staff warn that this achievement may take a year after CAVS 3 is released.

I thought I would share sites I found that perform objective comparisons between AVS products.  Based on the tests I found from 2008 below, and considering all performance aspects above, Avira AntiVir Premium looks to be #1 at present.  Next to each link, I list the test date and tested version of Avira AntiVir Premium, which is currently at v8.1.  Note that the free Avira AntiVir Personal doesn't protect against spyware and adware, but it has the same performance for viruses and rootkits as Avira AntiVir Premium.

2007-09-12 v7.0 http://www.anti-malware-test.com/?q=taxonomy/term/16 v8 supposedly fixed this problem

I look forward to see CAVS 3 compete in these tests.  Until then, I need to maintain good security, so I'll be using Avira AntiVir Premium with other Comodo products (CFP, CMF, BOClean).
