=Round 2=
Hi All:
I just posted the second round of test results, which includes a number of tests with lesser known anti-spyware applications.

Excellent work by Eric!

 

Thanks much Eric. I very much appreciate the effort you put into these tests and your willingness to share your results.

Best,

Can you test F-secure Internet Security 2005 and Panda Internet Security because they also detect spywares?

Thanks in advance!

 

Doesn't Kaspersky AV dectect some too with the extended database? Maybe u can add that to the list too.

 

Yep, it does xgunblade. I use that, but the Super Xtended one. [wot? me paranoid, lol].

There are 2... _ext for normal extended
and _x for Super xtended..

Cheers, TAS

 

Hi All:

Thanks for the encouraging feedback on the tests.

I am getting lots of requests to test various anti-malware programs. For now, though, I'm planning to restrict myself to dedicated anti-spyware scanners instead of more general anti-malware scanners or anti-virus programs.

Also, I won't be doing the Grokster test again as some vendors could start targeting the test itself.

Best,

Eric L. Howes
