Yeah i wanted to ask about this... Have they actually improved DNAScan in QH2006 or still old packer detection based "heuristics" ?
Happy Bytes probably knows this (probably), don't you?;D

This is answer enough to say out loud: NOD32 ;)

eScan uses the KAV 4.x engine, and it does not have a very good heuristics engine (KAV 4.x heuristics=eScan heuristics). NOD32 is much better.

@RejZoR: QuickHeal has got a cheesy answer to your question:

-{ Quote: "DNAScan Technology it’s a signature free technology not dependent on upgrades to detect new malwares. It looks at the genes of the program to discover if it has any malicious intent. It will protect your system from new and unknown threats." }-

Just reading the bold line makes me say 'LOL' loud!

Firecat, thats marketing thing. I know how that works. I'm interesting about engine itself.

Have a look at http://www.av-comparatives.org (http://www.av-comparatives.org/) under "Retrospective/ProActive Test" just so you can see how much better NOD's heuristics really are compared to the other products.
