got another collection recently. It's from different source and therefore contains duplicates when compared to that huge collection. And also it's rather small, only 248 samples.

Results for NOD32:
SIGNATURES
221/248 (~89%)
EXTENDED
1/27 (~3%)
HEURISTICS
2/26 (~7%)
---
OVERALL
224/248 (~90%)


results for CAVS:
170/248 (~68%)

results for KAV:
SIGNATURES
242/248 (~97%)
HEURISTICS
2/6 (~33%)
---
OVERALL
244/248 (~98%)


sorry, no results for Dr. Web this time :-)))

PS of course latest updates, definitions etc.

so, KAV is better than NOD32?

[Burillo]

i always knew KAV had better detection rates :-)))))))))) but BETTER... no way!

really? hmm, i always think AV with the "best" detection rate is NOD32, that's what i heard, never use it.
for me, the free one is the better one  long live Avira-antivir & CAVS

Well, since all people use different malware collections for testing ,and there's released like 1000s of new malware each day (sorry to scare you ganda), there's none that can provide a true detection rate.
Only way would be to update the AV, freeze time and then gather ALL existing malware on the planet and do a test.

if it was possible - everyone would do that already :-)))
