Nope, so we base our opinions on the facts that are available. At any rate you've formed yours, and so have I.
Wrong. Both Avira and the new Kaspersky beta have excellent heuristics; the only reason you rarely see those heuristics in action is because they...
Long story short, NOD32 failed, simple as that. Cue the standard answer about how no AV detects 100%, yadda yadda.
As far as I'm concerned, "Uhh I haven't heard anything about this, hang on lemme go check" followed by silence is not an official statement.
Sorry - not for an industry based on integrity and trust, you don't. There shouldn't even have been the need for Sergey to post here against...
Fancy technobabble 1, facts 0. We've got a clear winner here folks.
From what I can see, Avira's heuristics mostly do not involve emulators – for the most part, they work by inspecting the file/code structure and...
The evidence, if any, should be withheld from a public forum until a suit is filed and they can be shown in court. I don't know how things are...
People have shorter memories than you think. Case in point: McAfee's ad campaigns against Dr Solomon and Symantec back during the '90s. And...
Nothing, really; it's just that, as the saying goes, you can't please everyone. It's good because they're trying to make users happy, and it looks...
Saraceno, ThreatFire IS an advanced product. The other so-called "advanced" products are advanced only in the sense that they're dumb and thus...
It's changed to me. Now that Novatix is under the thumb of PC Tools' marketing department, things don't really look quite the same. The new...
Sigh. And unfortunately it looks like the time has come for me to bid goodbye to ThreatFire for a while. :'(
Which is not really the right way to do it. It looks like Avira is following ESET's idea, and rightly so. A fig for Matousec and his tests and...
Do you still believe it's a trivial matter, and that everyone is happy to use the workarounds? In any case, I was simply alerting a fellow...
Sound advice indeed. There are a number of quick and dirty "cheat-sheet" methods that allow you to use a HIPS to somewhat reasonable effect...
If you intend to use a 3rd-party firewall with NOD32 v3, be sure to read this thread beforehand:...
The thing about Virtumonde/Vundo is that it hooks its DLLs into winlogon.exe and thus loads itself at bootup before most other programs, such as...
Pushing your own suppositions onto me doesn't really achieve anything. I was merely making sure that people aren't unnecessarily misled by your...
Scan "more"? More of what, exactly? One of the two you mentioned as examples certainly isn't finding more than most of its faster counterparts,...
AVG was painfully mediocre back in the version 6.0 era, and before - those were the days when avast! truly whooped its behind fair and square. It...
Maybe because they have well-written, effective detection algorithms and efficient programming? I don't know, you say it like being fast is a...
Which have been misguided, incorrect, and unfair on more than a few occassions... Without resorting to your froth-at-the-mouth, spittle-flying...
EASTER, your anti-Microsoft-ism is sometimes amusing. At other times it defies plain logic and common sense. You will accept anything at face...
Why are you making it sound like users are forced to choose from only two available options: a bit of performance overhead, and losing time and...
Separate names with a comma.
