    Following on from a previous thread I made a while back, I rescanned my test folder and Nod32 detected only 16 ,all correctly, DrWeb detects 19 all correctly.
    Does this imply that DrWebs detection rate is higher than Nods? )or Heuristics and a good guess) I realise its just a small selection of Samples but its got my knees 'a' knockin a little,

    Tinribs,

    Apart from how the AVs have been configured - an essential factor - what test bed have you been using? Only viruses? Worms? trojans/backdoors? As is well known, NOD32 does a fine job in regard to ITW viruses - and performs average on other fields. Dr.Web has its own quite different capacities.

    regards.

    All program settings the same,or as near as poss, mostly virii and worm, few trojan as I leave this for TDS3, I'm not too worried as results speak for themselves,but still iys something to test further.

    Hi Tinribs,

    By design NOD32 and Dr.Web act quite differently - in spite of the way they are configured.

    Ok,here is folder 1, bear in mind all are zipped up, and stay that way,so names are of zip archive and may not represent the true virii name;

    aim2
    aimaster3
    badtrans
    ghostd
    hybris
    inspect
    kamakazaa
    klez
    kpmv
    kraimer13
    lassa2
    magistr
    metrion3
    pengoz
    pratoreo
    s3x
    sinistahack
    seekersjs
    sircam
    vbsworm7
    wizardry
    yaha

    This is the folder that DrWeb finds 19 infected and names them all correctly,Nod32 see's 16. Of course its not a good test under ideal conditions but all programs I have tested have been under the same conditions at time of testing.

    Which 3 didn't NOD find? If not in NOD data base perhaps sending them in to NOD would be the neighborly thing to do so my next update has them in it!!!! Thanks neighbor.

    Its been done already ;)
    As I say,I have never opened these zip files and all tests rely on these zip files actually containing what they report to.
