I'm interested to see how McAfee scores will change when they start testing with v15.1 with the Real protect engine
Avast had nice scores in some last test. there new technologies seems to work nice! thumps up for avast!
i read somewhere on the avast froum that the cloud got some improvments and heuristic. cant find the link anymore, sorry.
"Nitro" technology. http://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...ro-Second-Threat-Detection-High-speed-Version Made it really lightweight, and brought the detection rates up to near the top. It's not 100%, but it's in that second tier of "99.x%", while offering great performance.
...... nice scores : champion of False Positives (Detection Rate:99.9 / False positive: 28 ) http://chart.av-comparatives.org/chart1.php?chart=chart6&year=2016&month=9&sort=1
WD scored worst than the rest competitors. In F1, the last one is very fast too (only few seconds from the winner) but in the race results is the last car.
Which I'm sure have since been fixed by the time you read the report and would've only been an issue if you'd had the problematic file on your system at the time it was being flagged by AVAST, assuming you use AVAST as the anti-malware program of choice. I agree though that 28 is a lot but I wonder how many of those files anyone of us has on our systems anyway.
