You would be surprised how many normal programs show "ugly" behaviour, causing false positives for behaviour blockers. So it is getting more...
Interesting, for that old test they did not rate every firewall popup as a false positive - which changed the results alot in the new test. Hmm... ::)
Actually I am looking for samples too. I am not going to buy that crypter just to test it.
Uhm, they bypass the regular detection of every AV scanner anyway, they don't even mention that "feature" anymore.
Google is very fast in updating Chrome when there is a new exploit. It also does silent auto-update. I have seen many users blocking/ignoring the...
There are alot of malware writers, or rather, people providing crypters/droppers aka "FUD service" (= fully undetected). These droppers drop the...
Rejzor, I am also wondering where all these users manage to get infected all the time. My recommendation to users at the moment is: - Chrome +...
The problem is not really the number of new samples, but how fast the malware writers put out counter-updates of their malware after the AV...
Nobody wondering why Avast is not included? I guess their results were too good? ::) Well, let's see: - very low number of samples/malware...
I am using Avira with Comodo FW/D+ on some computers, with no problems so far. But I always uninstall the Avira on-access scanning because I check...
Under Add/Remove Software you can choose to modify the existing Avira installation. For those having slowdowns, please try to disable single...
The current detection/blocking level of Avira ProActiv is far too low for my taste, but it is not vaporware. I am doing the design for the next...
A small test client was supposed to be released as a beta at the end of this year (around now), but due to delays, it will be most likely move to...
lol, trjam! You should wait with the thanks until it is released. Also, it is not me doing the AI, you need to thank Marcus and his team.
Of course the exploits are very important and needs to be included in the testing urgently. But I think with the many rogues/fake avs around,...
I checked yesterday, the AI with a dataset from beginning of september detected all the samples that Avira missed. Too bad it is still not in the...
I don't think that the customers care whether their FP's were caused by signatures, heuristics, generic detections - or other detections from the...
I keep telling people: detection is coming from all alone, the false positives are the hard work... ::)
I found the presentation from Igor Muttik interesting. But their number of characteristics is really low... Also, a VB conference without...
you can send the fp to heuristik2@avira.com, that email account is not size limited.
It is a cloud solution, all the computations are done on the Avira servers. It doesn't depend on the user's hardware. The "NV" part doesn't...
I am using it daily, they need to slap a GUI on it and ramp up the backend infrastructure to easily handle the expected amount of people in the...
They put my brain into a box ;D No, it's not a big box ::)
Actually, we didn't really improve things related to this test. The improvement in detection rate wasn't that big for Avira, but rather other AVs...
And the malware writers will just yawn at this... So they have to bypass MSE by default, they are already doing that by now. For them, nothing is...
