    The question is just how serious are the one's that are missed by each anti virus?

    I agree with that statement 100%

    And Congrats ESET well done :)

    And also how fast they can add detection for the ones they miss.

    I was laughing more at the humor in the statement then the subject identified. But since you want to point this back at me. I would rather have one that detects in the first place then one that plays catch up after the fact:rolleyes: .

    Thanks for Eset. They gets a lot of samples every day, from VT, ThreatSense.Net, etc... A lot of files are damaged, so malware from infected computers is added earlier. I recommend to send infected files to samples|at|eset|dot|sk with subject, where is marked name of malware (in text you can write source of malware). You have to pack file to archive with password "infected", because antivirus on mail server can catch this sample.

    I think nod play the game very well,

    they work extremely hard for vb and avc which is all very well

    However, for a real user of the software its probably average/goodc

    Certainly not great.

    eset do well at marketing

    Being a "real user", I would say that it's a much, much better than "average/good".... This is based on my experience. :)

    It's hard to gear results for avc with a sample size of greater than 800,000.

    Well...Well...
    It is so funny to see the solid supporters of the av-comparatives.org & IBK
    to present other tests results, which are different from the ones of the av-comparatives.org.
    What happened to you people?
    Is it because Kaspersky is not the AV product of the year 2007 on av-comparatives.org?
    I guess sales will go down now...

    Go back a few weeks, when I dared to speak about other AV test results/methods...
    Remember? You attacked on me: ALL against ONE.
    Now that av-comparatives.org gave the 1st place to another product
    (different from the one you expected to see), you present other test results.

    You changed your views according to your intere$t$.
    What a reliable and objective way!
    If you change your views so often,
    do you expect that -even the average user- can take you seriously?

    This Private Club is over! No more misinformation anymore!
    Even the novice users understood what kind of game$ you're playing!

    Hmm, my views have never changed.

    its not a matter of questioning the test, just that in nods case it really does not reflect how the product will protect the average licence holder.

    Can you explain to me what your problem is. All your postings are the same with long articles about how stupid we all are. I'm real curious.And maybe you can explain it in the same length as your other contributions.

    you must think im pro-kaspersky, sadly.. you are wrong.

    other results are also valid.

    this one is my fav, you think i change my views?

    heres a tip: try a search

    if i were a kaspersky user, i can understand your comments for me being a little biased, but seeing as im not, it just sounds all weird to me.

    or maybe you think im Pro-Russia?

    No! You have been with Dr. Web, changed to F-Secure for a while, then, back to Dr. Web
    and tomorrow who knows...

    I also am answering to the rest AV-wizards like you:
    No problem at all with you guys.
    The problem begins WHEN and IF somebody takes your views seriously.
    ~removed off topic comment....Bubba~
    It is SOOOOOO funny...

    ive been with drweb for a very long time, you obviously dont understand this.

    but does it scare you that i also own F-secure, FYI i changed my avatar to fsecure for a few days as i was using that snapshot on my computer.

    you really need to get a few facts right before you post this constant crap.

    This is a statement that is hard to prove or disprove. The same could be said about any AV.

    Don't get so stressed!!!
    -Not now that you discovered that there is some place
    outside the "av-comparatives.org" heaven!
    -Not now that you are on the right track!
    I don't want you to lose your insight!
    I've been waiting for this to happen to you for so many weeks!

    I told you that somebody cannot take you and your folk very seriously anymore!
    Even the novice users have start laughing with you...

    For a change, just read some posts of ErikAlbert maybe you
    -and the rest of the club- will finally learn something.

    In America, we call this democracy. I think you need to calm down and drink some Chinese tea. People here have grown in knowledge shared by everyone. There are those who stays with 1 AV while there are those who changes AV everytime. I see no problem with this. It's up to the individual and some humor and drama involved. Most of the people likes to spend time here. Why? Because they like to and let this be. I don't care if others take the views seriously or not. That's their business, not mine.

    the footnote on page 5 remembers and lists other av testing websites.
    if you read the summary you will see comments about strong and weak points of various av's.

    one totally off topic post removed.

    The thread title is the discussion not the tester or testers.

    I don't think so. ESET is recognized across the entire industry as one of the leaders in proactive detection. Sure, they may work a little harder when a big test is around the corner and add samples here and there. But working solely to get awards, hmmm ;)

    it is also not possible to "cheat" in the retrospective test, as no one knows which samples will appear in future. and regarding the on-demand tests, it does not look to me that eset is adding lot of stuff or that it adds that fast, otherwise they could score higher (i noted that also in the summary).

    hello lucas,

    eset do well at marketing for AVC and VB tests.

    by this, i mean:

    they make sure they do their utter best when a test is arriving for those 2, adding missed samples etc. (maybe some others should be doing the same, but who knows...)

    anyway,

    i dont believe, and wont believe for one second that this reflects their protection for an average user of nod32.

    downloading dodgy files from p2p, going on crack websites etc, recieving malware from infected websites, malware sent via emails etc these are just some of the real world threats available to users, and i would not say nod32 is great this way.

    all is well concentrating on 2 tests, but does this really reflect on its protection, personally i dont think so, i think its just very good marketing.

    however, there are some plus points.

    nod32s advanced heuristics are the best available, software is quite light, and has a super fast scanner.

    support is fantastic via wilders too.

    price is too hefty.

    just what i think anyway, im sure people will agree/disagree with it, but dont flame me for saying it :)

    those are, my comments. o_O
