So you're talking about normal every day use where normal viruses don't usually appear, and hence the heuristics have nothing to act on while...
Why not? It's their money, and they're harming nobody but themselves. Though I see some parties seem more than eager to play the role of...
Disagree. Avira with a signature database from Feb 07 can still achieve ~85% detection among the samples I see by using heuristics and generic...
In fact, Marcos, the more likely scenario is that NOD32 failed to detect a downloader or clicker trojan active in the user's PC, which repeatedly...
I guess you missed the sentence where I said we need to keep our feet on the ground. Personally, I'm guessing that won't happen. Not worth the...
Mine is permanently red because Windows Update is turned off. This is annoying, but I need security patches to stay OFF my test computer because...
I get short on patience when forced to explain the obvious. What you have just described is the hallmark of a security software with some very...
Some simple thinking would've provided you with the answer to that question. If ESS detects and quarantines the threat, how is it supposed to...
Mind explaining?
Own observations. I collect/swap malware as a hobby, and in the process we get to see how each brand of AV is doing. PC Tools has outperformed...
Not much experience with the VirusBuster scan engine personally, but then there's always multiple factors that contribute to detection rate....
No, ESET thinks that the threat will be detected and blocked/quarantined as soon as it tries to enter your system. If ESET detects the threat...
NOD32 ranks as a top-tier product in my book, but among the other top-tier products (Symantec, Avira, Kaspersky) it is the worst one as far as...
Hi, It all really boils down to whether you subscribe to ESET's ideology. Matousec's idea of how things should be done is that a good firewall...
If you want a suite that provides no-brainer antileak protection, go for Symantec. I've always been an admirer of how they took the concept of a...
Thinking computers haven't been invented yet, so the user will always, at some point or other, need to interact with software. Take Sandboxie; can...
Not anymore... at least for now Back to an admin account for now, with only an AV, no firewall, and DMZ on my router. Got a few things I want to...
This MJ011 character is a famous one, I can vouch for that. Unfortunately, it appears that his/her credentials are more amusing than they are...
It doesn't have anything to do with features. No matter how exemplary and cutting-edge the code may be for its day, the fact remains that the...
Those techniques have been theoretically available ever since Windows was created. Personally, I have no idea since when did they become...
Shark is oooooooold. If it's true that Comodo can't stop this (which I seriously doubt, btw), then it shows how much they're really worth when it...
Exactly. They cannot undo malicious changes to your computer once a virus bypasses them or is allowed, which is why they must block the virus...
The key difference is that, when caught, your system was cleaned up and returned to its original state. I assume that didn't happen with CPF and...
Yep, hard at work producing FPs. I really don't understand you people. Why would anyone want to go out of their way to be bothered by useless...
I don't believe in setting up rigged tests. ThreatFire advertises itself as providing cutting-edge zero-day protection without any configuring,...
