i tested this it did horrible. i threw a bunch of zero day urls at it and it blocked one. The system became very slow and unresposive
I had tested the retail version of FW + AV & it did average so I thought the free version will be below average.
People say it uses ZA uses kaspersky engine + sigs & inhouse eng + sigs, can you tell what this free ZA uses or whats actually difference between the paid & this free version?
Currently downloading & going to test & post the findings here.
Tested ZA & CIS i.e
ZA Free - Sigs + Heur + Behaviour
CIS - Sigs + Heur + Cloud
55 Zeroday Malware
ZA - 25 Missed
CIS - 16 Missed
I think Protection was not bad but decent.
I think it can be a good free product if -
Frequency of updates are more instead of 1 in 24 hours. The updates made quite a difference in my tests here i.e after doing initial updates I tried again & it mentioned up to date. I scanned the folder with malware. After about 1 hour I tried manual updates & it updated again & I again scanned the malware folder & there was quite a good more detection.
RealTime & On-Demand difference in protection/detection was there i.e I scanned malware folder with 55 zeroday malware & also executed & run all the 55 malware & installed completely whaever installed.
On-Demand missed 25.
RealTime missed 30.
I checked & executed the missed 5 malware again but no detection from RealTime when On-Demand detected those, dont know why?
RiskWare detection should be there.
The ability to select all the malware at once in result window to quarantine the malware & in quarantine window to remove the malware is needed.
Any one know what eng & sigs is it using? i.e
Is it using kasperky eng + sigs & inhouse eng + sigs or what actually it is using?
i tested this it did horrible. i threw a bunch of zero day urls at it and it blocked one.
