Who is fastest for adding detection?

Well, to be true Avira is the fastest. Kaspersky comes next and then Norton. Why not u try it yourself by submitting the samples.

 

To me Kaspersky is the fastest. behind kaspersky , Avira used to be the fastest but I must say that Symantec is reacting also very fast lately. Most of the time within the hour

 

yes i agree. they always do that, with explanation.

 

Sjoeii, I agree they're fast. However, while I was evaluating KIS 2009, I was disappointed that there were times I wasn't getting an update for 8-12 hours. To be fair, it was mostly over the weekend, but I doubt malware writers work banker's hours...

And also to be fair, 8 hours was still faster than any other AV at that point! Just saying its really not hourly.

 

Right. The same with Avira.

 

Kaspersky has been fastest for me.
I have discovered that response times are faster, if you submit malware via quarantine.

 

Drweb of course,

11 minutes from submission
6 minutes from ticket creation

not bad for a sunday night!!

 

Not bad for a Automated Add in also.. lets try talking to some real person! instead of sending a variant.

 

Ilya Georgievsky processed the sample, and it now, already is detected.

 

Humm... Must be a very slow day. soo many customers to protect.
On Topic.
Avira seems to do it with in 12-24 hours from my personal experience. Eset seems a little slower sometimes 12 hours sometimes 4 days. And Norton well we wont even go there.

 

dr web ignored most my samples, and the others took over 5hrs, sometimes 1-2days

just another persons experience

I don't send samples to Grisoft, but a friend sends and he says it's very fast too.

 

I've sent a sample of a trojan created in Brazil to Kaspersky, Avira and Eset.
In 30 minutes, Kaspersky added it to the database, after 1 week, I received an e-mail from Avira saying it was added.Until now I didn't get any reply and the sample isn't detected by NOD32 yet.I sent the sample 3 weeks ago.

 

1week for avira makes 0 sense, mine never take more than 8 business hours, and i do mean NEVER and i've sent alot to them

 

Avira usually needs 24-48 hours... Kaspersky some hours (or minutes)... ESET weeks... (its the reason I stopped sending samples to ESET months ago). F-Secure is fast, but maybe it's better to send to Kaspersky...
One time I sent a sample to Kaspersky that I received a reply only 1 week after, but it's not usual.

 

but i do remember once when i sent to avira a trojan thru the website subimit online and it toke not more then 2 hours for them to add the file, 2 hours.

 

F-Secure can do it in 60 seconds.

 

LOL at least they do something fast.


On a serious note keep in mind it can also rely on Volume of emails for the day samples system. so many factors go into submission.

 

Samples I sent to an AV company a few months ago was never heard back.

 

I've send them 2 days ago (48H) a new virus and still no answer.

 

I think Norton 2009 adds fastest signatures their new pulse updates are added within 1/2 hour

 

i wonder which AV-company was that ?

 

Did you got a reply that the ticket was created?

 

Avira is very fast, heck as much as Stefan hangs out here, it should be fast.

 

Yes, that automatic reply came to me in 2-3 minutes after submission.
