MRG Flash Tests 2011

oops i see , i understand now
i see it now
thanx

 

What happened to these tests, i find them interesting but it looks like they have stopped

 

Nope, we just took a little break, the latest Flash Test will be published today

P.S. We are introducing a new type of Flash Tests in addition to the current ones, these Flash Tests will focus on Malware Removal.

Sveta, what is the goldish color for Avast on 2 threats. I know you mentioned this once before. thank you

 

oh yeah, Orange is partial pass, in this case it means, not detected but AutoSandboxed.

which actually should mean failed, because if you have the autosandbox on ask and dont understand what it is asking, well.

 

Its what we call a Yellow pass, in Avast's case this is when we get a warning: Potentially unsafe application, recommended action: run inside sandbox.

Generally we give the Yellow pass when applications require user's input.

Regards,
Sveta

 

good point and thank you

Its nice to see Avasts sandbox doing what it was made for. Rally good product. Hmmmm

 

MRG Flash Test 5/03/2011

Emsisoft passes yet another test along with DefenseWall.

 

Say it isn't so...MBAM failed (just) it's second test.

(In all honesty, I'm very impressed with this showing (to date) and have voted with my wallet.)

Congrats to DW for continuing an unblemished record thus far.

 

welcome back hitman pro a.k.a zemana anti malware

and congrats emsisoft

 

I wonder if OA++ would do as good as EAM does in the flash tests. Same AV-engines and but OA has a more sensitive behavior blocker... I wonder...

 

You forgot to mention that both Immunet and Norton got Full Pass as well.

 

Yes, but Emsisoft and DefenseWall are the ones dominating the tests so therefore I just made a note about them passing yet another test. But of course you're right my fellow-countryman!

 

I See. No problems

And if I should comment on ESET, well it missed one so it's not too bad
Version 5, Version 5 Version 5 ohhhhh....it can't come fast enough

 

Following ESET's products over the last two years, I definitely think they've declined from the throne. These flash tests only confirm my thoughts . V5 is their (ESET's) only hope to now.

 

Norton is constantly amazing in past 2 years.

 

Nice EAM, now i can get my fanboyism up

 

Detections for 5/3 test:

 

Norton's behavior blocker (Sonar) nailed them all.

Although Avast detected several of the nasties, I find it interesting that Avast's behavior blocker never came into play. In fact, in all these tests I have not seen Avast's BB ever get the glory. I wonder why?

 

In Recent Tests, you can see Sandbox coming into the action which i guess is based on Avast BB. Avast BB is improved a lot in v6.

 

I'm surprised they are doing so well. When you look at AVComparatives and Virus Bulletin, their proactive and on-demand are mediocre.

I know that their Symantec product is a load of crap.

 

ignorance makes me feel funny

 

Norton Sonar and File rating system is what improves them A LOT.
Their engine is still good but not excellent

 

Wow, that's really deep. Very insightful. NOT!
