I'm testing AV products against zeroday malware

Which ones are not playing?

 

I liked Threatfire on XP but on Vista it borked two keyboards- one on my desktop and one on my laptop. I tried it again recently and same thing happened. Actually even tried Cyberhawk on Vista recently and the same thing happened- dead keyboard in Vista.

 

Yes, that is why I am using only security softwares that are not giving me headaches of any kind. Currently Vipre together with the pctools firewall and the k-meleon browser are behaving well. Threatfire is good but it's constantly having some issues with the installed software on this pc of mine (legitimate software ), Comodo Idem, just wanted to mention some of the offenders ( they are not alone ) that unfortunately do not like this pc of mine, don't ask me why, I don't really care.

 

Just watched the MSE video. Interesting how, after infection, the Vista firewall blocked Windows Explorer from accepting incoming network connections.

 

I only saw the rising video (I didn't find the others except Avast) and I must say that it is done incorrectly. You have to put in the skin of an average user and execute your files to see if the AV detects them as malware and blocks it's execution. What you did is to see that the AV has an HIPS behavior and asks the user if he wants to execute the file. This will happen with all the exe files malware or not. You have to execute them to see the av response to changes made by the file.

 

30 videos posted, the ones I had issues with won't play but they seem to play now could have been with YT servers at the time.

 

Where is geswall video?

Here's something you may want to add to your tests: PC tools anti-virus free edition.

 

I had the one they posted that said the same thing and it still won't update. I never had 2008 version. 2009 won't update no matter if it is INTFree or freeav just won't update. I've moved on...

 

You should test IObit Security 360 v1.02

 

F-prot is up on youtube. Yikes!

 

Wow, FProt Sucks....IMHO

 

Something must have gone wrong, plus you can only see 42 seconds of part 2.

Could you PM me a compilation of those zero day links starting from today and spanning from the last couple weeks or so bradtech ? So I can run some tests, or just PM me a site that has all these links and keeps track of links like this.

 

That's what I thought to ...Have you had any personal experience with FProt?

 

I have personally seen for myself F-prot be stronger than even NOD32, yes.But I think the last windows version of F-prot I used was previous to this new updated version bradtech tested.

 

I am tracking down the issue with the part 2 videos messing up.. They run fine on my computer, and other computers in my house.. Upon uploading to youtube something goes insane. I am uploading Trend Micro, and about to test Bullguard, and PrevX

 

I know my eyes are bad but where is part 2 of Eset. The part where it fails.

 

Hey there just learned about these tests but I have some questions:

A. I get that these are 0 day attacks, but is there any sort of consistency between malware links used? Or do you just grab different links for each test and AV. So basically which tests use the same links against different AV's? Do all part 1's use the same set as other part 1's for an AV?

B. Your after video ratings are kind of weird. I just watched BitDefender 2010 part 1. And I skipped through most of it and got to the end and saw it missed and let run a ton of junk. but you give a 3-3.5? Where as Kaspersky part 1 it missed 1 malware and let it run, didn't even let the rest of them install and you give it a 3?

C. Will you ever take say like 50 of these zero day attacks? Test them on a bunch of AV's and make a report of your results? I love youtube, but I just don't have the time to watch every one of these videos I'd rather just skim through results lol.

D. Will there be a Kaspersky part 2?

Sorry if you already answered some of these I haven't skimmed through the entire thread yet as most of it seems to be requests lol.

 

ESET blocked all attacks on that day.

 

On each day I compile a list, and test the products on that day with the same list.. Pay no attention to me rating them.. It's just my opinion on what I have seen, not any kind of formula I wrote down, and apply to each product based on results. If I come up with some kind of rating system I'll post it on here for critique. My main problem with Kaspersky was the type of threat it allowed to run not the number..

 

PrevX kicked some ass

 

Incidentally--how well did FProt do on the full scan? Account on the video messing up.

 

I believe it found 34 infections, but didn't get rid of that one variant running.

 

These two a free but how would they do..?
