its probably the screen resolution. maybe you are on 800x600. as higher the resolution, as more you will see from the site.

Sure wish the donation info were also in English so one could know what it all says.

Since BOClean does not have an on-demand scanner...

Actually it has a single file On-Demand scan as a "drag and drop" principle without executing the nasty. Just drag to a single UNZIPPED nasty file and drop it over the BOClean GUI, that's it.

So you have to check file by file the whole test you want to know.

When Kevin first posted about the undocumented "file scanner" feature in BOClean, he added a disclaimer that it is only partly effective, and that BOClean may not find a file as malicious by dropping it on the window, but will catch it if it is run. From Kevin's post:

But OUR associates HERE test with that feature to determine whether to send it to us or not. If it's already detected, they don't send it to us. If it ISN'T detected, they do. When I spoke earlier on of "scanning to see" this is what I was talking about. The number of detects from the "file scan" are PITIFUL! Once we get them in the lab though, a very large number turn out to be variants that are detected as soon as they try to start up, though the FILE SCAN found nothing. THIS is what I was talking about, and why I maintain (it's *in* BOClean if yer dumb enough to TRUST it, WE don't!) that "file-scanning" is WAY too easily fooled. If it actually WORKED, we'd put it in there.

So, even testing using the one-file-at-a-time method, would not accurately reflect what BOClean can and can not catch.

So, it's only now a just a curious thing, or a bit more?

Well actually Trend has better sales than most other AV vendors out there

So as you can see, vendors have quite a few other methods to spruce up their marketing. Since many anti-rootkit tools are not 100% mature yet, I feel not everyone will want to participate this time, especially when there is a fee.

trend have to result in other methods of spreading their name, as well as customer loyalty of course... being on AV-Comparatives is simply another way of advertising and spreads the AV's name... kind of advertising... you're right, every company has their own methods.

they'll probably only participate if they think they'll get better results than other anti-rootkit tools (or high at least)
