    I don't want to hear the excuses, only that they will fix this

    And maybe give 'someone' a kick up the backside who surely is not doing their job, I've sent in enough samples myself, but won't do their job for them :)

    The samples are there to be added, I'm very sure they have them, so why are they not adding them?

    The technology is there, the origin tracing is very good, so I really dread to think what the score would have been without it.

    This needs explaining, and fixing asap

    What versions did they test?

    i.e. Is f-Prot 6.0.8?
    or are these SW freezed sometimes ago?

    presumably the versions/updates are not older than from around the 10-15th November 2007 (guessing based on the german text).

    According to that F-PROT should be 6.0.8.0 (released on 29/10)

    [FONT=&quot]I am an Eset customer but you won't find me discrediting this test. In fact, the results help to reconfirm what I've felt about Nod32 for some time now :(

    On a more positive note, I think its great to see some of the other lesser known AV vendors getting good results

    Cheers.

    Its avira plus paranoid heuristics, not for home use so I guess gdata is top :)

    IMO, the only surprises are DrWeb and McAfee. Also, I expected Fortinet to perform better, because it flags everything :rolleyes:
    KAV, BD, Symantec and Antivir at the top, Avast, AVG and ESET at the middle of the pack, paranoid scanners (Ikarus, Sophos, Webwasher) performing OK, Trend, Microsoft, F-Prot, ClamAV and VBA32 improving, Panda and Norman so-so and eTrust :rolleyes: LOL

    It's a *Corporate Gateway* security app. AFAIK, they do not cater to individual home users. Website HERE. Shop HERE. Only $600/25users/year. Or (if you have a very large family), just $1110/50users/year. Rush right out & subscribe. :D

    Right. :D
    Anyway, they're using the Avira engine together with some very paranoid heuristics (that may lead to many FPs). You can try Avira instead.

    Perhaps they are doing something at dr.web, almost 7000 signatures added today when usually the number is around 200-250

    strange enough because Avira added about 6500 defs today also. They usually add a lot, but not more then 1500. It is definetely a special day today. :D
