Avast delete old signatures ?

Is it true that Avast delete old signatures ?

Also how do you compare it to NOD32 for detection and eradication

WG

 

No, it's not true.

 

umm
How would you rate Avast antivirus ?

1 being non existant 100 being orgasmically fantastic at everything

 

id place avast's detection as lower than nod32 and only its mail shield has heuristics.

 

i see, i personally like NOD but i was told avast is very good

 

if u want a free AV, avast is a great choice.

 

The latest VirusBulletin report (exact copy of it)

www.av-comparatives.org have a look at "Comparatives" section and compare products

 

Was this the test where AVIRA missed the VB100 % Award because of one hacktool detected in the CLEAN set and it was REALLY a HackTool?

I have yet to find that special software!

LOL

 

well its my policy that nothing hits a 10 / 10 or 100 / 100 because theres always room for improvement

if i think somethings abcolutly fantastic i will do a 9 or 99

 

I find Avast to be pretty good nowadays. Avast has been adding lots of signatures recently and detection rates are rising. The generic signatures are a marvel. However, Avast does not yet have heuristic analysis (except for email scan). I hope Avast v5 includes this function.

Ehh....thats an interesting choice of words you've got there
