MRG Flash Tests 2011

Prevx failed to detect on exe. but detected it on a followup full scan.

 

Good work to Malwarebytes, PrevX and EAM
Also Vipre looks like the new kid in the block.

 

How interesting that my Feb 21 post taunting trjam's inapplicable link to six month old data has been deleted from the otherwise precise scholarly technical discourse so prevalent at Wilders. Well, excuse me.

That link does not reflect exact current abstracts and has no relevance to this discussion outside of casual historical reference.

As I posted up in an earlier post here in this thread, an MRG forum posting of Jan 27 specifically states: Methodology and additional information will be available later today.

As far as I can determine to date, they have not made that available.

That said, my observtion "...since they (MRG) haven't revealed their current methodology my observation, 'They don't say...' can be held as accurate at this point in time..." should be held uncontested. At this point in time.

I believe that's the situation. I've noticed as of late many threats evoke csrss, Java or WMP to as a workaround to implement their exploits as most security apps trust them by default. As I haven't delved fully into those approaches I could stand to be corrected on that.

 

I think Norton has failed atleast one time , VIPRE perfect this far

 

I was only trying to help.

 

New one out, here

Good work Avira

 

Always appreciated by some of us even if we don't always say so.

 

Ditto.

 

New test today (2/23/11) . Looks like BluePoint is taking a break from testing.

right after failing the last one? hmmm...

 

They use the IP blocking for MBAM in 2011 tests:

I'm going to see if I can get data logged for IP block, PM block and blocked by both. With any luck this data will have been logged for all the tests so far.

 

Bluepoint failed the 2/17 and 2/19 tests. I'm waiting for a response from Emsisoft regarding their two failed tests, nothing yet.

 

Yeah, i wonder what happened to EAM

 

+1.

 

No response yet from Emsisoft.
Zero day Banker Keylogger today, 2/24.

Prevx FAILED!!! Time to make a change...

 

Are you trying to make a joke or are you really saying that this one glitch should cause abandonment of Prevx?

 

Kudos to Vipre...19/19
Time to stand up and be counted!

 

Yes. Norton is doing very well also (18/19).

 

good work by norton,vipre and prevx

 

wysiwyw

 

Zemana seems under-appreciated here. They've certainly made great strides from what was initially an antikeylogger only program to an across the board anti zero day application. Add to that the fact that with frequent year subscription giveaways it's virtually a free product, I'm surprised it's not getting raves (I guess the lack of scanning precludes that).
