Any other nice AVs out there?

Interesting. I've got a question, though: how much of the Command engine did F-Prot keep? (Its engine is based on that of Command, according to the VB site.) Is F-Prot as good as Command at trojan detection?

BTW, should I download A-Squared?

 

Pigman,

I think you will find that Command AV is based upon the F-Prot engine.

Difficult to judge against virus/trojan detection, as at most testing sites you will find only one of them has been tested.

Authentium add their own signatures and do not rely only on those of Frisk, but I would imagine they are very similar in malware detection. Maybe someone with more information can jump in here. Technodrome is a Command expert

They have both been pumping up their trojan detection since last summer but my personal view is that they are not quite up to the standards of Dr Web, Kaspersky and McAfee for standalone trojan detection.

Depending upon your surfing habits it may be better to run with a Antitrojan program with either of these excellent AV scanners. If you cannot afford to run with one of the big 3 commercial AT's by all means run a free one.

 

You can see some of commands detection history here command detectes on the following os's

 

Command AV has slightly better detection then F-Prot. It combines F-Prots engine with their own technology called Holo-check (heuristics). Also as BC mentioned they're adding their own signatures without depending on F-Prot in the case of ITW virus breakouts.

Wow. Looks pretty damn good.

Any comparisons between it and NOD32? How does it fair in the worm-detection department?
