MRG Flash Tests 2011

Wow! You know me better then my wife, heck better then myself. I am impressed.

 

@ trjam Which Avira product are you running? And why switch between Avira and Prevx when you could run both?

 

paid, and I will just stick with Avira.

 

Paid? Which one?

If you paid for Prevx, why leave it behind?

 

and, why is this interesting for this topic?
so many questions...

 

Agreed. We've gone way off topic, and I am guilty too.
I guess we're all waiting around for the next test to show up.

 

Because I was about to ask why he switched when Prevx is beating Avira?
Questions are fun.

Is the next test out yet?

 

So start your own thread & ask away.

 

On topic, I too eagerly await the next results.

 

It was a joke. I was trying to be a little humorous.

 

I think his question is in line with this thread, just as others. Yes, I have disputed the findings of MRG and yes, I have been shown they are accurate. No more then the member who disputes IBK when his favorite product doesnt do well in a test and then later improves and they love AV-C. Vendors do improve their products and sometimes make them worse. So LODBROK has every right to question my posts.

For testing, yes Prevx does beat Avira and who says I dumped it. I have stated this to many times, I have FD-ISR and different products in different snapshots. So I just use a different snapshot quite frequently and change my Avatar. But in reality it goes between 5 or 6 steady products that I own and like all of them.

MRG is very good at what they do and yes I want to see the ones I own do well. But that isnt always the case. Maybe I should, calm down a bit, but at least I actively use them to report on them. Vendors dont mind because I pay for the licences, so really folks, to much attention is paid to me and more shold be paid to the others here that ask the legit questions.

 

Hm, I didn't know this. I am new here.

Isn't the test to come out today?

 

MRG said it would come today. They've been late before.

 

Looking at the samples so far,
Is it correct to assume that the majority of zero-day infections come from let's say the top 4 , or is there another explanation

TDL4 4
Unknown Trojan Dropper 4

for how many days??

 

think you need to lighten up a little!

 

Posted April 6th...

Or the day after the day after that?

 

New test

 

Way to go Avast.....you can switch now! Come on down......

 

Malwarebytes and Emsisoft Anti-Malware are going good

 

Does anyone know which Avast version MRG is using? I'm trying to figure out why G Data would fail a test that at least one of it's engines had a detection with..

 

Not a great day for VIPRE.

Anybody know why?
