Nice Combo evaluating tool available!

It's name is Combinatorial Performance of Antivirus Systems. Here it is, don't shoot the messenger if it is crap!

Best regards,

Looks interesting. I will not shoot u BTW.
Antivir seems to be with maximum score as single AV.

 

Well, by fishing on the Internet

Anyway, these scores are actually useful for gateway level scanning. Others should not pay too much attention to this.

@Moderators: I had seen this thread when The Hammer had made his post. And I opened a new window and saw this thread again. By this time, The Hammer had deleted his post. But I went back to the "old" window which contained The Hammer's post before deletion and replied to it. And now, when I re-access this thread, I can see that all the contents of The Hammer's post have appeared in a quote in my post. I believe this could be a potential exploit, maybe it deserves more investigation?

 

At least this showed the Ads in the page as a clean. DrWeb link scan, Netcraft Toolbar and McAfee SiteAdvisor gave the same results too.

 

i think it might be webwasher

Isn't that site just the same as the site from this thread. Just looks like a few AV were added after the Symantec listing on the newer site.

Not for home user!

 

Lol this thnig is bs.

 

Try Webwasher, Fortinet, eSafe and Panda combined

 

Webwasher fortinet panda and ikarus is 93%

 

Webwasher, Fortinet, Panda and Prevx1 is 94%

 

Yup, combined power of the False Positive giants.

 

Actually I meant an exploit/bug in the Wilders Security forum code. I see that no one has even commented on it yet....

 

Webwasher, Fortinet, Ikarus and Prevx1 also yields 94%. yeah frug combined power of the fp giants.

 

Webwasher, Panda, eSafe and Prevx1 94%

 

Webwasher, Panda, BitDefender and Prevx1 or substitue bitdfender with ikarus and you get 95% with both and i am not gonig to check any lnoger.it is a waste of time

 

Kaspersky, Antivir, Bitdefender and Prevx1 81%

 

Norman + BitDefender + AVG + Ewido (i.e. TrustPort) get 68%.
So, your next gateway should have TrustPort combined with Antivir and GData AVK (Kaspersky + Avast)

 

At least, in theory, this Combo evaluation works, when the TOP 4 SINGLE performers can give only 91 %/89 % protection. I mean, that this proggie is made as a sample basis.

TOP 7 single performers

81 % -- Webwasher
67 % -- Antivir
58 % -- Fortinet
51 % -- Panda, Ikarus
47 % --- BitDefender
46 % --- Kaspersky

Firefighter!

 

With already tested minimun False Positive successors (according to Av-Test.org and Av-Comparatives.org), you can get only 57 %...73 %.

Symantec
Norman
AVG
McAfee
Panda

Best regards,
Firefighter!

Btw, from every BS, we can get the crap estimate too!

 

Ignoring the false-positive giants and runtime packed executable detectors (eg Fortinet, Panda, eSafe, Sophos, CAT-QuickHeal, Webwasher etc.), here's the best % we can achieve:

AntiVir --> 67%

AntiVir, Kaspersky --> 74%

AntiVir, Kaspersky and BitDefender --> 77%

AntiVir, Kaspersky and BitDefender + AVG/NOD32 --> 78%

AntiVir, Kaspersky and BitDefender + Prevx1 -------> 81%

 

If I'm missing something here, please explain it to me, but isn't this all a bit useless? I would assume that in order to protect against "outbreaking malware", would the 2+ AV's need to be running in real time? Wouldn't that in turn lead to worse protection than 1 AV would give? (i do realize that prevx can be run alongside an AV, but what about the others?)

Are there any two AV's that can run real time at once?

Can anyone explain what I'm not getting here?

 

Hello,
Combinatorial sounds like an evil prelude to a boring class of statistics or such...
Mrk

 

Don,t take it serious, just a play, have fun.

 

This is a genuine site: there is no judgement implied, there are no commercial imperatives/coercion, the analysis has reputable a database.
There is no discounting for false positives (which is not necessarily a bad thing imo)

There is an explanation here from the site operators.

PrevX and Symantec have not done well over the last few months.

The results have been dissected here:

Blue Zanetti took some time at this.
