F-Prot Antivirus 6.0.9.4

F-Prot has the reputation of running well and being user friendly. I have only used it on a trial several years ago.

The problem is that it was not competetive in detection. With so many good choices around I am a little surprised it is still around. I also hope they do well, but the detection will have to greatly improve for me to be interested.

As promised here's the test result of Avast & Immunet ..

Quarantined:- 154

Remaining Malicious File:- 456


Avast Pro

Scanned Files:- 610
Quarantined:- 560

Remaining Malicious File:- 50

 

Thank you AvinashR.

 

Please do not include "R" after Avinash .. Avinash would be fine...

 

Lol, I will then tell you Avi...

 

Thanks for the result Avinash

 

Thanks for the test results. Any chance you could test Hitman Pro and/or Prevx or Comodo?

BTW- in Avast Pro how many of the files were executed/analyzed in the Avast sandbox? Were any found to be malware with generic signatures?

 

To be very honest i have only executed 4-5 malware in Avast sandbox and none of the malware were detected On-execution..and three of them are able to infect the system.

 

Unless robots are doing the job. Kilroy was here

 

There may be chances that they are developing other projects too and F-Prot is there side business..

 

Ad-aware please

 

Sorry, i cannot test Ad-Aware .. Database Update is about 350 Megs ..

 

Nevermind...

 

Avinash what is the size of db of F-Prot?

 

Hey Bro, i haven't noticed that..But it took only 2 mins to update ...

 

Hmmm I see, I have newly installed Win7 so I was thinking of giving a try what you say

 

Great ...Yes you can give him a try. BTW its seems that F-Prot have a very good detection rate as compared to Immunet.

 

Just FYI ..

MBAM Pro

Scanned Files:- 635
Quarantined:- 467

Remaining Malicious File:- 168


SuperAntiSpyware Free

Scanned Files:- 635
Quarantined:- 178

Remaining Malicious File:- 457

 

Would still be interested in Comodo and even Gdata and A2 if possible. Thanks for the infos thus far. Or even Panda Cloud.

Thanks

 

Hi Avi, I just noticed that you used Immunet pro. With Bitdefender engine as tetra it should not have such bad detection. I have found that it has problems with quarantining threats during an on demand scan. So in any of my tests I use to unzip malwares in real time. Immunet has no problem in quarantining then. Will you please recheck in that way?

 

Panda Cloud and AVG

 

around 44mb
according to their forum it will keep getting small due to better heuristics and generic signitures.

 

+1!! I want these

 

Thanks lodore ,will be installing F-Prot today


@some posts above
BTW isn't it getting offtopic I guess

 

I have faced some problems with Panda Cloud..and have informed Jorge & Pedro about the same. They took some samples from my system through remote session. Probably, they'll get back to me very soon regarding the problem...BTW guys we are getting off-topic...If anybody have particular request, then shoot me PM..
