Anti-malware feature tests from AMTSO

Anyone have thoughts on these? Worthwhile and a good measure of how effective your program of choice will be?

 

I think that the purpose of those tests is to test if you have your AV correctly configured. All AVs should block those test, just like Eicar test files.

Ah that does make sense. I have subjected a few different AVs to this and out of the box they DO NOT block all of the tests, but after configuring (Avast for example) the settings that are configurable most do block all the threats. Thanks.

Funny. I have no realtime antivirus enabled but standard Chrome blocked all test except for the Phishing test.
