quoting: mrtwolman link=board=35;threadid=8912;start=0#58153 date=1051882823]In english: Performance test performed for us Guido Habicht and Andreas Marx. Both are working for Universität Magdeburg and Gega IT-Solutions....

Welcome to the wonderfull world of PC magazines. These tests and reviews were in the past and are still not trustable. Even when Andreas Marx provided the figures the editor is normally the guy who has to interpret theses figures. That means the test figures can be provided by an expert but if the person who has to interpret theses figures has no clue what this is all about the result can only be rubbish. I've seen that so many times in the past in all kinds of German PC magazines.

Scanner almost completly failed when searching for script viruses in batch files. Here it discovered only about 2 per cent of 382 viruses....

I know there is a stupid batch malware generator available but ITW I have not seen so far a VBS script inside a batch file. Don't thinkt that this is really a big deal and should be picked out for a negative example.

Bad: NOd32 produces lot of false alarms ..... Well have your ever experienced false alarm ? I did, but on very large test set .... Which is not very likely to occur in small test set....

I don't think that false alarms are a problem to NOD32 but again this is how you define false positives: NOD32 has a heuristic feature that you cannot disable. So if you count all files that are detected that are reported as possible viruses by the heuristic it would score more false positives than a program without (or with a disabled) heuristic.

As I said in the beginning: If the person who interpret the results has no clue what he is talking about than the result can only be crap. PC Welt editor's for sure have a long history in not knowing anything about malware and virus protection...
