Please be serious. We are discussing about very important matters here.

You guys so funny for him to these a rouge antivirus. But there are some unknown Antivirus programs made by lesser known security software companies. This INNOBATE AntiVirus provides On-Access, on-demand resident shield against virus, worms, trojans, and malware Sounds like it can protect the system. I could test but this guy already has test rig ready to go..

I myself ran into this one last night: dologin.exe Comodo FW and Rising AV both caught this one trying to contact a ip site 71.x.x.x

This INNOBATE supports: Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows 7

Test is time consuming! Add RegProt (Registry Prot) to your list, small program is lets you know what going to run or run as..) (Yes to allow No to del)

Hey Brad try IOBit 360 against some MW.

[clocks]

I'd like to see IOBit 360 and AVG Free ver 9.

[tipstir]

Can you test out this pe guard program sounds rouge to me but so many here are using or trying to use it. I know that RegProt works letting you know what's going to run or run as in the registry.

Sandboxie > All

Well, they are offering for free returnil lux at giveawayoftheday so perhaps this is a nice opportunity for a nice review Brad.

Possible to test Defensewall ?

Thanks for the requests..

I have thought about adding some things to my reviews.

1. Mentioning the installer size always.

2. Mentioning size of installation files after install/updates.

3. Boot up times before and after installation.

4. Memory usage of all processes related to the AV..

5. Scan times on stock settings


Any other ideas or suggestions regarding the above, or anything left out.. I know due to different methods of scanning, and stock options possibly scanning archives etc it may be unfair at times unless changes are made

Maybe add how long it takes to install the program and update for it to be ready to go. Also, some trials are more difficult to obtain than others and a few trials have certain components disabled unless a full version is purchased. You could probably get some info on what components may not be available for some programs when a trial is being used on here. For instance, I believe Avira Premium used to have some options disabled during trial and PC Tools sometimes have disinfection disabled during trial. If you are being provided full working licenses without limitations then you would not be alerted to some limitations though.

Another things that seems to pop up from time to time is conflicts with other programs- may or may not be useful for your videos. Some HIPS/av programs have known conflicts they post on their site. Again you could also find info about conflicts on this site too.

I have terrible problems if both NOD32 V3 or V4 and spyware doctor run together.. If I run V2 of nod32 its fine with spyware doctor.

i've got an experiment " demonstration " for ya.We all were at one point at least, fans of spybot search and destroy.Since things like malware bytes' came out, I heard spybot can't compare anymore and is pretty much usless in comparison to all the " new " tools.How about you run the test that " let alot of stuff slip through " and first run malware bytes' and not let it fix anything, then run spybot and see if it finds the same things, mabe more, mabe alot less.

From the sound of it you'll have to give up your day job soon and go full time with this

[firzen771]

monitoring boot times sounds like a good addition to ur review. im always interested on a products performance and how light it is on the system.

Done ESET, Avast, AVG, Avira, Kaspersky 2010, Panda Cloud, Vipre, and about to do Bit Defender 2010 .. Any other products you guys would like to be tested? This is a preventative test in a VMware box..

Make sure you test the new NIS2010 with SONAR2.

You should know that the detection rates on VirusTotal provide ZERO indication of what those same products actually detect on a real customers machine. So showing the VirusTotal logs in your Videos is completely pointless.

[Zombini]

Also, I noticed that you are NOT TESTING drive-by downloads. I assume you do know that the #1 infection vector is drive-bys of all kinds. Just downloading from a link to an exe is again somewhat pointless.
