    The test from AV-org really shows that the many improvements Symantec made to NIS2009 have payed of! :cool:

    Both where once the pillars of strength for Kaspersky. :rolleyes:
    But still not bad, credit to Team Yellow. They have shown why they're market leaders....

    The real surprise package was F-Secure, about which I have been :p
    It really made me :blink:

    The new Hydra engine looks to be good, I actually expected F-Secure to be equal or less the Kaspersky.
    Time to look for AV-Comparative for further vindication. Till then, its paper-bag for me.... :ninja:

    Re: What's up with AV-Comparatives?

    To be honest, my guess is they finally got a clue that there was an actual THREAT from other AV companies. They had no choice but to rebuild from scratch, and with their resources... Yeah, you can build something good.

    Let's just hope they don't get lazy again... And that they fix their 64 bit problems so I can use the software :D

    Re: What's up with AV-Comparatives?

    Lol normally Kav has had slow scanning speed and less than 50% heuristic detection(not to be confused with proactive/HIPS one). However it would be interesting to see what would be the scanning speed rating if the files were scanned a second time.

    Re: What's up with AV-Comparatives?

    I was making prudent use of sarcasm.... Don't worry :D

    Even if they scan again, maybe there will be 10-20 % (realistically) increase in speed. But this will also be the case for other vendors like BitDefender, Norton.

    Please ... I don't confuse with HIPS, since I don't have HIPS (ok, partial) on my VISTA :mad:
    But surely you remember the glory days, when AVP, DrWeb and Panda used to have the best heuristic scanners :D

    Besides some weird grammar errors and words in a misplaced order, the translation is actually pretty accurate. :D

    Definately FP.
    BabelFish is a service of Yahoo!, so I am quite sure its safe.
    Norton SafeWeb says:
    There is no drive-by download or browser change done by Babelfish. But since it acts as as proxy ( to translate ), its been wrongly diagnosed as a threat due to pages it may be translating.

    NOD32 has gone down the drain.

    Re: What's up with AV-Comparatives?

    Unfortunately. if you ask me Nod Has completely shot them self in the foot.

    The ones I'm looking forward to seeing in the tests is NIS and a few of the 2009 products that have also came out. it will be nice to see how much a company has improved. if any at all.

    Re: What's up with AV-Comparatives?

    to be honest, i forgot all about it, you can always be sure that someone posts the info on here though.

    erm, off the top of my head, im waiting for the results of Sophos too.

    It is true they have had better times . It is not possible , however , to be always number 1. We are in a cycle , in an ever-changing condition.

    When you go up , somewhere you'll reach the top . If you want to survive you must continue . However , the top is one and the NEXT step right next to the top is DOWN . It will take some time until you get back to the top , but early or later I am sure they will recover their glory (so high from Aupark tower ... this will help :) )

    I've been hearing this for three years now and have seen little evidence to support this claim.

    Re: What's up with AV-Comparatives?

    ................. look at the tests.. It has been dropping spots for every test so far for the past year + there is LOTS of evidence to support it heck check the support forum that's the most damning evidence of all.. AV Comparatives test comes out tomorrow have a look.

    Don't take me as bashing ESET because I'm really not. I have active Licensees to both its Personal and business editions. the plain fact is eset has to pull them self back up or get mowed over by the competition which if you read the forums is already happening. :doubt:
