Abstract

We present results of an empirical study to evaluate the detection capability of diverse AntiVirus products (AVs). We used malware samples collected in a geographically distributed honeypot deployment in several different countries and organizations. The malware was collected in August 2012: the results are relevant to recent and current threats observed in the internet. We sent these malware to 42 AVs available from the VirusTotal service to evaluate the benefits in detection from using more than one AV. We then compare these findings with similar ones performed in the past to evaluate diversity with AVs. In general we found that the new findings are consistent with previous ones, despite some differences. This study provides additional evidence that detection capabilities are improved by diversity with AVs.
