VB100 April 2010...

Ikarus has never had a pass on VB test! And again ESET passed 61 Success / 3 Failure / 5 No Entry! And VIPRE is 1 an 1 with 2 false positives as I use that on all of my VM's!

TH

 

I guess buying a Trustport license is coming closer for me. At least the usb version. Ikarus great as always, good promotion for Check Point considering the offer tomorrow.

 

ESET haven't missed a VB test in 8 years...pretty amazing


Cheers

 

Nortor the big losser in the RAP

filelab have a splendid detection for Asia-Pacific antivirus,but in term of the whole world virus sample.it is not good
norman continue become depraved ....

 

Interesting theory/explanation from Emsisoft dev:

"All 974 wildlist misses were misses of the same family: Virut. Since Virut is polymorphic samples are generated to get a better view at the overall detection. We didn't detect the original sample, therefore not the infected files that were infected by that Virut sample and that's pretty much it. "

 

Anyone tell me what's the different between normal test (Fail or Pass) and RAP test ?.

 

The Vietnam AV "Bkav" is not bad at all.

 

Why Avira Free result is worse than Avira Pro

 

how bad?

how about avast 5 free vs pro

 

Be glad that they didn't test the v10 which never manages to finish a scan plus would make the testers pull all their remaining hair out with the new ingenious "quick" system scan on every single piece of malware detection.

 

full scan worked overnight for me with no issues and I like quick scan. Maybe you should reimage your computer and start with a clean image.

 

this test was carried on Windows Xp Sp3 platform.
most of popular antivirus software support this OS.

 

Thanks, but no thanks. The scheduled system scan triggered a DCOM failure followed by a forced reboot on every XP box I tried due the brand new completely broken VSS strategy (why is that VSS service plus bunch of others even started when there's no malware to clean and so nothing to remove and so nothing to shadow-copy in the first place remains another unsolved mystery that noone's answered so far on the Avira forums). My guess would be the infamous hidden object bug that has hit me on every box as well.

 

oh well, XP huh. Mine are Vista and 7. Well anyway hope it all works out for you at some point.

 

you know now that I think about it, I still like Vista better then 7. Anyway, kudos to all that passed this test.

 

Well, Vista never touched any of my boxes and I preffered not to risk a damage to the perfectly working W7 box after the XP experience w/ the upgrade. Whatever, XP SP3 is where they carry out the testing anyway.

 

This

Avast free result is same with avast pro

 

A shame Panda is not in, especially would like to see the difference between Panda Cloud and avast, AVG, Avira.

 

We would like to be in these tests, but unfortunately they are performed in an isolated environment without Internet connectivity. We have expressed our interest to VB about being included in these tests as soon as the methodology is upgraded to reflect more real-life scenario. I am confident that VB is working hard to improve this aspect of the test. In their defense this is no easy task either.

 

Nice results for some, sadly i can't see the other part since i have no subscription

 

It's bit confusing to talk about RAP and VB100 Award in the same thread. Or are they the same thing?

 

But why Panda is not seems to be confident in such scenarios ?

 

I'm surprised Webroot is doing that well. Does anyone have any details ?

Sunbelt's score (VIPRE ?) is third rate.

Too bad we can't access the details without a subscription.

 

Panda is a cloud app, cloud apps depend on the internet, mystery solved. Panda keeps the vast majority of its signatures on its servers, allowing you to not have to update them all the time and have your disk filled with them. Confidence isn't the issue, it's the way the app works that is the issue.
