Totally wrong this is the kind of useless comment why ? You saw a useless test with useless samples …
I’m currently uplauding another one avast did even better with 5 autosandbox detections …
MalwareDoctor does not know how to test an AV belive it or not he thinks that a PUP is a malware

peace

whats your troubles with MalwareDoctor he did nothing wrong to you

I just don’t like when a test is done with safe samples (I know they are safe he just download a pack that I have already downloaded and execute thinking all of the stuffs are malwares).
And he clearly said on a topic that a PUP can behave like a malware …

Can you tell me where to get those fresh samples & true malware i.e not safe samples?

Mrarnold,do you seriously believe that avast doesnt have good detection rate well,thepcsecurity just proved it:
Avast vs Bitdefender(detection rate test) - YouTube

and about malwaredoctor,the test was flawed you will notice if you have watched and observed it carefully and a lot of malware like botdd.exe,z.exe and plugin.exe that avast already blocked and quarantined with evo-gen were found in program files folder in some weird way even though it shouldnt land there but even if it was in that folder it cannot harm the machine because evo-gen would just block it from executing any way and what really came through were 2 suspicious files in system32/config folder…and about ryne’s video there are bugs with avast sandbox and network shield right now on win xp and he had some bad samples that were just crashing and werent malicious at all and both the tests involved PUP’s and false positive files in question.

Here is a brief idea about the ahead plans for the sandbox,and the current sandbox skeptic will fall when this new technology will come into action (soon):
About "Dyna" detection

Ive never said avast has bad detection.it has excellent detection rates.

These are private ;D But are all malwares (i.e Zaccess / Rogue / Trojans / Rootkits / Ransomwares / sometimes Solimba Adware but very rare …).

or what about malwaregeeks review of avast 8 - YouTube it did a bad job there

clearly,you havent read my reply because if you had you would know the answer…

My only problem it that testers pick a lot of benign and non-malicious samples :-\

Try again … Once you’ll give us a reliable test where Avast fails then ok, so far nothing shows a bad test from Avast 8.

New one - YouTube vs 12 undetected samples.

To me test’s come and go, some look good some look bad.
I choose to protect my and my families pc’s with CIS over any other security software for one reason only…default deny.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable relying on a signature based solution no matter how good it’s detection rate.
As far as Avast goes I have been watching this recent incarnation with interest, Excellent detection and says all the right things ie sandbox and new back-end detection system, the later which is the jewel in the crown from what I’ve seen, however it’s not deny default.
I don’t have the confidence in the new dynamic-detection engine and auto-sandbox, we have a tried and tested, time served, proven solution already called Defense + why take a chance ?
This is right now - bring on Valkyrie and reversal technologies to just name a couple of future features and a bit of polish and I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want this piece of mind.
This isn’t taking any thing away from Avast it’s definatly much improved with better than average detection, one to watch.

BIG test.
Note: some samples were similar.

Also Avast vs 12 fresh samples :

PS: why only avast ? It’s my own PC so still waiting to get VM set up once ok, I’ll start others AV vendors.

enjoy,

Well,if they have the same icon doesnt mean they are similar actually I have noticed that if you pick the samples from malwares.pl,virussign and some other places the sample similarity is quite rare the icon remains same but varients are different…great test! ;D

[spywar]

Thanks
BTW, they were so fresh ;D I wanted to show some vt reports but none of them was already uplauded …

Can you do a comparative test between nortons sonar set to highest settings, avasts evo gen and filerep, and comodos HIPS turned on and auto sandbox set to restricted.

Sure, on my own system ? ;D
Please as I told before, I need to set up my new VM (about 1 month from now) once done, I’ll start testing whatever you want :-TU.
