Hi Guys

There is a new AV-Comparatives test dated Nov 09 it is a Retrospective/Proactive Test. I know av-comparatives has a thing for not posting a direct link, so I won't. However here is a link that I can post:

http://www.av-comparatives.org/comparativesreviews/main-tests

A surprise Adavance+ winner is Microsoft Security Essentials. Enjoy and Comment.


PS: CIS did not participate, Melih is still waiting for an AMTSO board review approved test, sort of.  Grin


Peace.

Their high false positive rate hurt Avira.
but overall, they held their position.

I don't think it's a very meaningful test since it did not test on execution or behavioral detection.

i changed back to avira, because comodo antivirus is king of false positives.
with avira i have NOT a single false positive Wink

You're lucky. Avira does have a knack for FP's. It's much better than it used to be though.

Avira's update process is their real problem,especially for their free version.I have heard they (Avira) have sorted this issue out but it took Avira month(s) to do so  Embarrassed I'll never use Avira again.
I'll stick with with comodo  Wink

Look at Symantec (nortan) test at the AV-Comparatives NOV 09 Test.   It's among the worst Smiley

A very funny thing that I should mention (IMO of course)
According to a recent Symantec (nortan)  PAID FOR private test from a different lab.  Symantec (nortan) got a 100% on the test and Avira was among the worst. 
Those test result  numbers sure wasn't close to the ones AV_Comparatives NOV 09 test results numbers for nortan.  -----{Well Surprise Smiley Surprise Smiley Surprise Smiley Surprise Smiley }------  I guess it doesn't take a genius to figure out why, Huh Evil 
 I guess maybe Nortan's "Sonar 2" was looking for North Korean submarines instead of computer infections.  Evil LOL Evil

It's hard being a crooked Admin when the files won't pass an md5checksum test.  But like any other good crooked Admin it can be done, it just takes time(and lots of it) and a few aspirins

According to the report the tests were run offline so Sonar wouldn't have been used.That's the problem with these tests they cripple the softwares full capabilities.

Nor did I,when I used it,other than the odd "Heuristic Malware" detection,with Heuristics set to max.
(Which to be fair to Avira,they warn you to expect.)
The test penalized them for false positives.
Right or wrong,of the test,that all I was saying.

Now,ask me about updateing dreck!!
I will tell you my tale of woe!!
