Abacre Antivirus

Founded this today http://www.abacre.com/antivirus/ any opinion on it ? Only 2mb size ??

 

abacre website administrion is located in Virgin Islands (British). Their av costs $25. Hopefully Firefighter or someone else will give it an objective test.

 

*bump* (Its still being worked on)

 

Just read ther Webtext:

"Detected a virus Norton missed
I downloaded this software today and ran it and it flagged the w32.gaobot.zx virus that Norton missed on a previous scan."

This is one reference from one "happy" customer.

Just take a look at the picture, this is a scan result from MY COMPUTER where i only write virus techpapers and descriptions...

As a Virus Researcher i can assure that this is a false positive! It flags NVIDIA files as Gaobot! If course Norton missed this file, cause it was a classical false positive!

 

Besides, what will you expect with this virus database size?

 

VBS.Gaggle.D next false positive on Windows System32 Files!

Before you delete anything what you probably need later i would advise NOT TO RUN this program.

 

25 bucks for an F/P app... No thanks

 

http://www.abacre.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=173 <-- Explanation as to why its a small file.

 

Even with only storing checksums and compression... the filesize is awefully small to detect lots of threats

 

...or/(and) contain very bad signatures...

 

This line on the Abacre Website just cracks me up :

 

After reading all this, I wonder how Abacre Antivirus won TWO awards ?
