New Real World Test AV Comparatives results are out!

I know you won't, but if one day EAM starts checking all executables with Anti Malware Network you should get 100% everytime ..

 

To be honest I think Emsisoft products are worth using for the level of support alone.

 

Yes support was excellent.

 

I am still missing your point. It blocked 1970/1972. Did that surprise you?

 

But Emsisoft is very heavy on the system. That's the negative for me.

 

Knowing which samples we missed, I can already tell you ... the EAM Network wouldn't have helped us to catch those 4 complete misses we had .

We already adjusted the behavior blocker to cover the 4 complete misses we had. It will take a bit longer to get the user dependent detections down to 0 though, if we want to keep false positives low without sacrificing detection.

 

But if someone was using your internet security pack hips would've taken care of those 4 misses surely?

 

Fortinet seems to have quite an impressive show here.Even slightly ahead of avast.

Good job fortinet.

 

It is good to see them doing well.

 

Did you try the latest beta version? We made some huge improvements there. And I don't use the term "huge" lightly. On our test systems our real-time stress test suite finishes more than 6 times as fast, while causing significantly less disk I/O and CPU usage. And although these results are somewhat synthetic, the general feedback from everyone who had performance issues before was extremely positive. So at least some of these synthetic results apply to the real world as well .

So if you haven't tried it yet but would like to, please let me know and I will hook you up with a trial license .

 

Online Armor would have stopped them. But Online Armor does stop everything in theory, given that it will ask you whether or not you want to start a given application if it doesn't know it .

 

If it's compatible with Windows 8.1 x64, then why not?

Testing your latest beta version now Fabian. I wasn't aware you had a beta, hasn't EAM only just come out of beta? You guys aren't hanging around are you.

 

Quite frankly yes, it did. Everytime i tested trend micro (this was 5 years ago) the product was nothing more than a expensive system bog (detection and cpu usage) so i never gave it a second glance until today. It turned my head.

 

Well, in general we tend to provide a rather quick .1 release after a new major version. Mostly to fix issues that were found after the release as well as include some features that didn't make it into the previous release due to time constraints .

 

It's using 54mb of ram so far but it hasn't been installed long.

 

One should not measure lightness based on the RAM usage, for more details see: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2257357&postcount=135

 

This as an expert feature for EAM would be nice..

I anyway can't wait to see both programms merged.. =)

In general I dont know why no new HIP programms are developed any more. I would really like to see some competitive ones. OSSS was so cool! I really loved its feeling and control but now its discontinued..
There is basically only OA left and I kind of hesitate to purchase it. It is weired to purchase a product when you already know it will be discontinued..

 

Thanks Swex. I understand that from using KIS 2013, that uses a lot of ram but feels as light as a feather.

 

You're welcome, yes this goes for all AV's not only Emsisoft, ESET is in this category too using around 100MB of RAM, and some users complain on the RAM usage simply because they don't understand why, and don't know the reason why it's designed like that.

 

I disagree. Some of us prefer to not use an AV or use AV from other vendors. That'd make the choices get even more limited.

There's Comodo D+, and Privatefirewall, and ESET's HIPS. And how come you came up with a conclusion that OA will be discontinued?

 

Maybe from: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=350840

 

Glad it's been clarified.

But anyway, to back on topic, I don't mean to discredit the test result and this thread. But I already half expected the output and not too surprised. Peace, no harm intended.

 

I was referring to Bitdefender not Trend Micro.
