So a-squared is really light and has Mamutu too, but...

    I'd be interested to see how Mamutu assists with such a threat if indeed it's able to.

    I've found that mamutu works well as a behavior analysis and IDS. It's actually alerted me before the on execution of A2 kicks in.

    Yes that's what I mean.This VB100 test was only on Ikarus and didn't of course include Mamutu or the Emsi engine.

    Yeah someone else had mentioned that for the VB100 results. A2 giving away that free license caused alot of people to take a good look at it. Of course someone has to look at a test and point their fingers. "See it stinks because it failed this test". Of course it doens't include a few vital parts to A2. *sigh*

    One single test would not make me leave a product, If it fails consistently over time then there is something wrong. It has to be a trend first before it would sway me and even then Ill take my experience over that of the test.

    My point exactly. The minute one test comes out with a bad result, the sky starts to fall.

    If you are referring to me, that is not fair. First I explicitly questioned only the Ikarus part of the product. Secondly, it wasn't just one test. It has failed seven times over a multitude of operating systems and has not participated 59 times (so what is up with that?). For what it's worth I am using a-squared!

    Nope. I wasn't directly referring to you. I was just giving a blanket statement to everyone that reacts that way to certain tests. Why are you using it if you have doubts about its ability?
