On-Demand Detection against old malwares

Hi trajm, thank you.. But I think this time I will not be able to conduct tests with another set. May be next time I will try this..

 

Did use the beta? May be this is a problem in that. I will also test the stable build..

 

No i haven't tried Beta version, because as you know beta won't be as stable as final version...So you should not consider Beta releases for your testing, as you won't find the exact results.

 

Yes I will test the stable build..

 

Did you test Windows Defender?

 

Not yet.. As I already tested MSE...

 

Trojan Remover, Coranti, Ashampoo antimalware, Trustport, Webroot AV, Windows Defender tested...

 

Ashampoo... does it still use the Avira engine, anyone know?

 

Nope.. Now it uses Emsisoft AM v4.5 engine... Emsisoft+Ikarus signature.

 

Ah, cool. Thanks.

 

Wow, looks like they only like to use top of the chart engines

 

Correct but to add they made a in house real time protection engine so they may have a in house on-demand scanner also.

 

Yeh I doubt so....

 

My Free Antivirus, F-Secure & Bullguard tested.

 

CA, Cyber Defender, Norton 2010, ByteHero and Protector Plus tested. ByteHero is a heuristic scanner w/o any siganture. I am tested VirIT eXplorer, but it was taking too many time to complete scanning 2nd set. In 1st set its detection was not impressive at all 86/500. So, I didn't complete the scan of second set. I also tested a 'semi-rogue' Maxsecure Spyware Detector, but have not listed it in the main post. It scored fair as a spyware program, set 1: 335/500 (67%), set 2: 1522/5000 (30.44%).

 

Norton both versions didn't perform than well in this test

 

Please try McAfee. I'm curious what their on demand detection rate is.

 

I am curious too.. It will come soon..

 

Please can you try Vipre?

 

Although I have tried As Aware Free has Vipre engine, I will try Vipre too...

 

Thank you.

 

Summary of most known AV's with freeware

F-protect is a type it is F-prot, hope I did not make more typo's

 

Hi Kees1958, thanks..
But F-Prot isn't there in free Returnil.. and Digital Defender is the Free version of VirusBuster..

 

MaxSecure Spyware Detector, G Data, Trojan Hunter and MAXSECURE AV 2010 tested. First Maxsecure is from hxxp://www.maxspywaredetector.com/, that is a delisted rogue, so WOT rating is bad (I finally decided to list it.). Later Maxsecure is from http://maxsecure.eu/ and has Ikarus engine, so don't get shocked at its detection. Trojan Hunter cannot scan all files like HMP, so judge its performance based on that.

 

Great test mate! What about Panda Cloud?
