Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

Great, i found it, thanks.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

It has always been there -> Comparatives section
Under the list with the tests you have text:

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

waits for the actual results..........

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

On-Line

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

ok the results are up everyone.

drweb just got the same result as always, even the same polymorphic.

very strange results, especially as this was 4.44 beta with the better detection, which im 100% sure it has.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

wow, you were fast to notice it, i just uploaded it seconds ago

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

dissappointed in it IBK though, i dont quite understand it.

av-test do theirs on 4.33 and it gets a better result that usual at 92%, and you test the better detection 4.44 and it the exact same as before, nothing changed?

it just doesnt make sense to me, 4.44 is much better than 4.33 as im sure firecat will say so aswell.

its just v.strange 'this result' from you lot.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

kudos to Avira, F Secure, Kaspersky and Norton. As always the best 4.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

based on how less they added of the samples they missed and considering that there are not as many origin detections as someone could make you think, it was at least able to keep its score, even if lot of samples were added to the test-set. Do not shoot the messenger. Also, you can't compare this test(set) with the one used by av-test.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

Oh my but AVG is looking very very good with Advanced+.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

Eset and Symantec were about the same in the last on-demand test. But just look hat how long it took Eset to add missed simples and how quickly this was done by Symantec. Nod is a good AV, but I still don't regret having switched to Symantec. Results just seem to confirm that.
Also nice to see that Symantec is even slightly better in the test than Kaspersky, I remember someone just recently wrote this could never happen!
Also Kaspersky and F-Secure are not twins anymore, so it is the new heuristic engine that is pushing Kaspersky?

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

yes, its the new heuristic. KAV6 would score quite equal with eScan.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

Available now!

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

Very acceptable results by avast!, though a bit dissapointed by Polymorphic results...

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

why not?

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

because this one contains also viruses etc. and more different kind of malware (and) families.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

Microsoft OneCare showed some pretty good improvement. Though, considering how poorly they fared last time, they all but had to. Be interesting to see if they can continue to make rapid improvement.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

How were you able to determine that one vendor took longer to add missed samples than the other?

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

imo its very probably that they will continue to improve a lot and that they will get higher and higher scores in various tests.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

page 3 of the report provides a graph showing the 'progress made since last comparative', according to this Symantec added their missed samples quicker than Eset did.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

Is this so surprising reading all the posts here the last few months. Norton has stepped up their malware detection. I commend IBK for what I feel an accurate test. I use to feel that Eset had him in their back pocket. I was wrong.

Also Bitdefender is starting their climb.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

i am no longer sure bout this test, i fail to believe that a 12month+ technology adds exactly ZERO detection rate to the previous product.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

Thanks.

 

Re: AV Comparatives is Almost Due

how can you say 0 detection rate by the new engine? its like saying product x is now able to detect 500000 more malware but has not improved at all.
