AV-Comparatives February 2007

Hi,

the report will be released in about 5 days. Please write anything related to the new results/report of February 2007 in this thread, in order to make it easier for me to keep track of the discussions. Thanks!
I am updating a bit the website...

P.S.: around the 8th March there will be also another test report containing some few other AV products!

best regards,
IBK

 

Great news.
Who will be on top?

You told us there will be a few surprises.

 

Interesting!

I think there will be a lot of discussion about NOD loosing grounds and Mcafee going under grounds

P.S. ... great performance by Microsoft

 

Andreas, can you tell us who these "new" vendors will be?

 

UNA, Rising, VBA32, CounterSpy2, Ikarus, ClamWin, Comodo.

 

IBK, is this supposed to build up my anxiety?

 

Thanks Fingers and legs crossed for VBA32.

 

I hope they do well also!

3.11.2 - Just had a kernel update today which helped with generic detections I believe, to bad it didn't make the cut.

 

wow,great news....have pc-cillin or panda included in tests?

 

Are you involved with the AV-Comparatives tests?

 

no, he just reads/looks at the (atm still) unofficial info given on av-comparatives...

 

Ahh, I see.

 

Where exactly do you read this ?

 

in a subpage of the comparatives section on av-comparatives

 

Great performance Microsoft?
Are they really doing well?

 

Thanks,IBK,but I can't find it so my question was where exactly . I would be pleased to read it . Could you either post screenshot or provide me with directions . Thanks

 

I am so pleased. A hard test and i think there might not be a 99% by any AV. NOD and norton missed advanced+ by a bit. I think this tiem around only avira and kaspersky wil get A+. i think 2-3 Av's will fail.

 

Hint: Look for the link to the summary table...
And yes... nothing to do with IBK test...
I only get infected with viruses from time to time (on purpose)

Cheers,

Hi . Thanks very much . I found it and saw it

 

Is that table a prediction? or is it fact?

 

Interesting results, to say the least. AVG has improved a lot since the last test. Kudos to them and I hope Grisoft keeps it up!

All KAV based AVs are still at advanced+....Overall, many vendors have improved a lot, but some are beginning to lag behind..

 

I was just joking... I think Microsoft perform badly and not even got a mark!!

Or may be there are other reasons behind... let's see when the full report is published.

Why never authentium tested.Is it really that close to fprot

 

Usually very little difference, there is not enough of a difference to make any change in the level of detection it has received. So, if F-Prot gets "Advanced", Authentium will also get "Advanced".

 

So this includes latest versions
