PCSL Total Protection Testing Report (2008 NO.12)

@pcslinfo
You're right, the localized versions were planned for Q1 2009. In our labs we see lots of generic detections from TrendMicro's 8.9 engine on 0-day malware.

 

yep

BTW, thank you for your consideration!

 

@pcslinfo
No problem
Anyway do you have access to TrendMicro's x.xxx.90 signatures (Beta)?

 

I will try to ask somebody in TM tomorrow and get back to you later

 

@pcslinfo- Your site works just fine now. Fuzzfas taught me how to go to a higher resolution and still maintain a highly readable font.

Shazam!

 

Got the word.

 

Dear Bellgamin,

You are nearly as old as Mozes, so the fact that your monitor is 22 inches wide does not mean anything with the font size and zoom factor you could be using at your age.

On the other had your sharp observations problably go hand in hand with sharp eye sight.

Cheers Kees

 

They said it is an internal pattern and only used in internal labs

 

Now you know why they don't take part in av-comparatives or vb100

 

System performence wise yes - Trend's a sucker, realworld malware detectionwise Trend's a whole lot better then for instance with AVG

 

Yes I know, however some external labs use them too

Performance wise they're improving. Their detection is good, we trend to see a lot of generic detections of 0-day malware by TrendMico while others ain't flagging it (yet).

 

yep
Are you interested in their 90 pattern?

 

What sort of trash test is this Under Materials and Methods they list 2057 malicious samples. Of what? Anything from the last 5 years?

A couple of months ago this board tore apart and independent test from somewhere or other that used a whole lot more samples than this and at least gave a breakdown of what was used. Why are you guys letting this one slide?

 

First, please do read our testing report, the 2057 samples are the prevalent samples collected in 2008 October.

And please do not jump to conclusions while you are not familiar with the truth

I will be here if you have anything willing to know from us.

 

Actually we run the 90 pattern in our labs and I was wondering if you did too

 

how about the 90 pattern?

 

No matter which test you look at Avira always appears at the top end,either they're the luckiest vendor of all time or,it really is simply awesome.

 

I'd say the latter

 

Its consistency and thats where they excel, they work hard and listen to feedback. They are not always going to be on top but even then, its their overall record that will always stand.

 

Thank you
And I will try my best to optimize our testing system and make our result more reasonable and better!
Have a nice day!

Regards
Jeffrey

 

why did they attack it,did nod do badly:-therefore a flawed test??
