I'm testing AV products against zeroday malware

I'm testing Bullguard 9.0 Beta 1 right now.. It has allowed a new Safefight variant onto the machine, and one or two rootkits..

 

Bullguard beta 9 being tested right now

 

I am beginning to compile these threats into a password protected zip file, and when I reach 50 threats I will send them in to Anti virus Vendors after doing some tests against some AV makers with them.

 

You use notepad to copy and paste the links into IE 6 browser. Might be better to make HTML and click on links to launch them from the browser. I've provided you a full list of other known and unknown AV software used around the World. I am sure there are more out there. Vendors are weird when it comes to testing not all will go for it. Good luck with them.

Also Symantec hasn't been touch yet in your testing:

Internet Security Suite
360
Endpoint Protection

 

I actually am about to start testing their 2010, and Mcafee.

 

New Spyware Doctor 2010 with Antivirus just released.. Downloading and reviewing.

 

Mcafee in the 90's was a lot better with Virus Scan today they're not so good. I was surprise to see how F-Prot did. Looks like the original programmer must have kicked the bucket or someone quit who knew what the heck they were doing. Rising did better because all of us including myself reported back the issues they and me ran into and then submitted to them.

 

I noticed you were going to test GesWall and some other sandbox type programs. It would be interesting to see AppRanger put through a battery of tests and it claims to be very good at disinfection of hosed machines. It is one of those corporate/network type programs so may be something you are interested in if it actually performs up to snuff.

 

Those are geared more for Windows 7 release but good to see how well they're doing. PC Tools does catch a lot of something gets caught and can crash on a dime. How are these software doing on the CPU? How much 100% are they using?

 

Actually Mcafee + Artemis is very good from what I have witnessed after uploading variants that other have not detected.. Before they acquired Artemis they were getting bad.

 

Here's some known rouges

Bullguard, Kaspersky were heavy on the system.. A NOD32 V2 vs V4 review showed V4 eating a lot more CPU..

 

Well that's good news then.

 

Spyware Doctor with Antivirus has blocked everything I threw at it with ease.. I added 5 more links and it blocked everything.

 

Any plans to test Panda Cloud? I'd like to see it.

 

Does Spyware Doctor w/ av 2010 still run very heavy on the system? It used to be a resource hog.

 

Nope, very much improved!!

 

He already did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYhPIfc135s

 

Appreciate your test of ThreatFire, which at highest Sensitivity stopped everything.

Hate to be a pest, but if you get a chance would love to see how it does at the default Sensitivity of 3, where most users would probably keep it.

Again, thanks for your efforts.

 

Np, I'll add that to my list of requests

BTW I just reviewed the newest Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 2010 version 7.0.. Three videos long.. Threw around 20-25 threats at it. very very very impressive results..

 

I agree, I bet most run it on 3. Would how much difference it makes.....thanks

 

I like that: "ThreatFire with Spyware Doctor Is kind of like icing on a cake"

 

Part two should be up now.. Part three afterwords.

 

You need to test the full PC Tools Internet Security the only problem with that suite is that CPU maxes out a lot! Defense in that is tight..

 

Firewall + Spam?

Isn't that all that it adds?
