MRG Flash Tests 2011

what do u mean ??

 

what you see is what you get

 

ok , thx for clarifying

I never tried prevx ever but now i am getting attracted to try it

 

almost good

I meant: what you see is what you write
the poster (Nevis) didn't mention a few others with a very good score like e.g. MBAM and DefenseWall

Gerard

 

He is joking, isn't he?

 

yeah, thats because i was mentioning the standalone AV .. though heads up to defence wall and MBAM too

 

I actually don't know how they test HIPS with these kind of threats, since they have no real detection.

They just click block on all pop ups? xD

 

McAfee either beat or tied a number of products that are generally considered to be better.

 

About time, I hate looking through multiple single results.

 

Nice handy chart
Wow, Vipre score is really surprising! =O

 

How do they handle Norton's "this file is suspicious, dont open it" bit. Does that count as a detection? Or a partial pass?

 

Of course I am joking. I've been running Prevx for a couple years. I thought the gawky smiling emoticons would give it away...

 

New test today (3/1/2011).

FYI: One of the MRG forum members maintains a spreadsheet compiling results, detections and scores with percentages.

There's one there for last year's series, too.

 

Interesting, thanks!

 

thx for the link

 

I cant find tested malware's MD5. Where can i find?

 

Norton - fantastic!!!!

 

March 2 results posted.

 

Thanks.
Prevx, Norton failure. VIPRE still at 100% for 2011.

 

Thanks for info and link

 

Where is Comodo on these MRG Flash Test lists ?

With an omission like that, what credibility can we attach to such tests ?

 

The results of this test are very difficult. Even the most superficial testing using recent samples that can easily be found on the Internet will show different results in the case of majority of the tested software!? Also, as we all know, comparing the results of the hips and the common anti-virus software is quite pointless.

I am confident that at least half of the Wilders active members doing the same or more complex testing almost every day. So, I don't want to start an argue but cannot avoid to ask myself what's the catch with MRG Product Comparison? Do I miss something?

 

Please learn to use the search function. Basically, they had issues with the results.

 

"easy to find on the web" is exactly what they are trying to avoid. If then did that then their tests would be the same as everyone else. The goal of these tests is to narrow the focus to live + dangerous only. They also pull directly from live sources so the field is leveled for everyone. I'm not sure why anyone would expect the results from broad spectrum + longer time period testing to match up here, those are 2 totally different tests.
