aigle, here we have the difference between a meaningless POC test and real malware. No offense against products that score 100% in leaktests...
Me. The mindset of the general populace seems to lean overwhelmingly towards: I need an antivirus, and every other security program is only to...
That's true. All the shadow products I've tried so far don't protect against system time changes. It'd be horribly annoying if they did,...
Granted, it's got its own quirks, but it's working generally fine so far. Besides, OneCare is next on my to-try list when I'm bored with AVG...
I think they compensate for that in other ways. They were selling RAV2008 for 30 yuan per year not too long back. Which amounted to only about...
Yes, please.
Has anyone tried, um, I don't know... changing the skin?
Was running the latest version of NOD32 v3 antivirus. Just switched to AVG 8.0 an hour or so ago, though.
Do you have an example of how a user might damage his/her own system by removing items with ThreatFire? Also, FPs are reported all the time....
One FP = dangerous product, not for inexperienced users. System-wide FPs, restores EVERYTHING whether good or bad = cutting-edge product, best...
Well, looks like my three months with ESET is up. Leaving NOD32 for AVG 8.0, but there's just one suggestion I want to make before I do. Please...
I'm talking about the dropper itself: the fake codec .exe that websites serve up. ~~~ comment & VT link removed per policy ~~~
I'd post VT logs, but I think the admins frown on those... :wacko:
Nothing but NOD32 installed at the moment, and I'm seriously wondering if the proponents of those multi-program setups are actually any safer than...
Symantec is also one of the better anti-Zlob performers. Do keep in mind, though, that Microsoft still regularly fails against new Zlob...
It's ironic how its flagship product is its worst and stupidest product. In contrast, ThreatFire is nothing short of a market leader, the...
ESET ranks along the upper-tier product, but truth be told, it's completely undeserving of the accolades that it and its users heaps itself with....
Still an exaggeration. ~20 samples is nowhere near enough to produce any useful statistics. The PDM's capabilities are actually quite weak when...
I don't expect you'll get it. The OP's knowledge and competence is plain for all to see.
What is remarkable about this is how other vendors fail so horribly against Zlobs, even top names like Avira, Kaspersky and ESET. I've been...
That is a gross exaggeration.
Thanks tlu. Very useful information, as always.
The detection rate is fine and steadily improving. I find Microsoft is building a good reputation as a Zlob killer where so many other vendors...
I go hunting.
Well, I hope the internal submission system isn't built in there for the sole purpose of being ignored. I don't get one or two files every week...
Separate names with a comma.
