I'm testing AV products against zeroday malware

I would like to see Microsoft Secuirty Essentials...

 

Thanks for your reviews, Brad. I see you tested PC Tools Spyware Doctor with Antivirus, which includes BehaviorGuard. As I understand it, BehaviorGuard is a cut-down version of Threatfire. How about testing Threatfire on its own?

As far as that goes, if you'd be willing, I'd love to see the results with Threatfire paired with free signature-based products, like Avira and Avast. (I understand there may still be a conflict between Threatfire and AVG.) When I configure security for friends, I pair Threatfire with one of these and assume it's a solid setup. Would love to see what your testing turns up.

Thanks.
Steve

 

Hi thanks for your reviews.
I would like to see Symantec and Comodo.

 

All great points from an expert and further points out the need for testing to be:

• Unbiased
• Structured and based on standards (scoring, etc.)
• Based on the scientific method (i.e., testing methodology)

 

Norton Internet Security 2010 please.

I would also like to see Microsoft Security Essentials, and maybe the latest McAfee .

 

Regarding your test of KAV- the IRCBOT that "got by" didn't technically "get by"...kav correctly deleted the .reg file that would add the ircbot to run at the computer startup (if you notice the backdoor.win32.ircbot popup as you run it....e.g. after reboot it is inactive), and I am more than sure that the actual IRC client is detected using the "riskware" detections (other threats) which isn't enabled by default....because the IRC client itself is a legitimate application, which can be misused, as in this case.

 

i must say i have test all these products before against zero threats and only threatfire stop it all completely there is not a traditional antivirus stop it all !!

 

Thank you for the information

 

Mcafee with Artemis is something I'd like to see in action. I have personally uploaded zero days to virusltotal and witnessed it, and maybe one other AV vendor the only ones detecting it.. I just hope their client has improved.

 

Traditional AVs that have implemented some kind of "behavior" based detection seem to do well if they can get the "pattern" that most of these zero day fake avs, and malware perform..

 

I'd also like to add that I'm not a professional tester.. These are my first batches of video reviews.. I mainly have done them because it's my job function at work to guard against these.. Any suggestions on testing procedures from anyone will only help me do better so please feel free to critique. Thanks to the Sunbelt Vipre rep above.. I was really impressed with Vipre.. I didn't expect any product to block everything I threw against them. I do submit the samples to a lot of different companies..

 

So who's winning?

 

I am testing Immunet Protect

 

Another vote to see Microsoft Security Essentials tossed into the mix. Quite a few posts up above asking for it, but you're dodging it.

 

I agree but wouldn't it be more enticing to see the registry garbage to be removed too? My question is why just wash a car but not vacuum it?

 

I just started today
I have been testing it at work, and impressed thus far.. I am just starting at the first posts and working my way down

 

A lot of AV makers just remove the necessary stuff, and leave junk behind.. I have noticed a lot of the traditional "Spyware Only" tools like PC Tools, Malwarebytes, and etc remove the unneccessary garbage also..

 

On a side note I am making all the videos just one video instead of 2 or 4.. I was not sure how large the files were going to be, and youtubes limit file size.. It seems that I can upload one video, and be fine..

 

Now starting F-Secure 2010 AV

 

Because removing registry entries can trash a computer.....and it is time consuming cross checking each one to make sure it legit/bad

 

Thank you bradtech and Baz_kasp.

 

No problem fellow Malware Warrior
