3 edits | VERY interesting latest AV Comparatives test
Latest AV On Demand Comparatives test is out.
1.GDATA
2.AVIRA
3.FSecure
4.Kaspersky
5.NOD32
»www.av-comparatives.org/
EDIT: Sorry, the ranking I gave is slightly wrong. It was about 2AM here when I saw the results of the test and I completely missed Trustport being a little above NOD32 in the overall rankings.
No. 5 should read: Trustport AV
No. 6 should read: NOD32 |

| That's odd...when I go to that link (which is the main page), it says the latest one is still not available. Do you have a direct link to the test results?

The requested file could not be found. ... If you clink on the link provided by SurfinGenie it will not work because AV-Comparative does not allow links to subpages as noted in paragraph at bottom of Comparative tests list/box:
"Please link ONLY to our main site www.av-comparatives.org and not to the other subpages.
It's forbidden to use/provide our test results/documents on other sites without our permission.
If you find anything on other sites, please inform the forum/site admin to remove it." |

Re: VERY interesting latest AV Comparatives test
This seems to me very unprofessional coz Avira produces a lot of FPs on my system, especially on installers of various plugins I have.
An antivirus MAY NOT FLAG files packed with strange runtime packers as supicious and just thanks to this win a test ! |

Hilo, HI | I have no idea.  A Google search for G data antiviruskit USA price produces a crack site as the first choice. Nothing in the search results led me to a USA price. |

Atlanta, GA | Their website shows 49.95 euro with a 10% discount....44.95
That is 57.61 US dollars per a euro converter to us dollars
Not worth it~!

| I agree....especially with Avira being free!
It surprises me how much McAfee and Bit Defender have dropped...especially their trojan detection. I would want BoClean for sure if I had either of those (or Norton).
F-Prot results are mostly worthless because the old version was used. I can't wait for the next on demand tests to see how F-Prot, with the Inspector now at the helm, does when the new version is tested. F-Prot has a valid official objection also to some of the samples used for the macro scanning to which IBK concedes. IBK says F-Prot version 4 does MUCH better than version 3 and that a comparison between the two is soon forthcoming.

I am looking forward to the test with the new F-Prot. I hope it is significantly improved in the detection area, but at the present it is not good enough so that I would consider it.

| said by Jer03 :but at the present it is not good enough so that I would consider it. Jerry Version 3 is obsolete. There havn't been any emulator/unpacking improvements since almost 2 years! V3 includes a "basic" dos virus heuristic and that's it. Building up a solid AV isn't done in a few weeks (even if newcomers in this business having a slightly different oppinion...) The next thing which i want to point out is don't expect miracles from the new version. We have added a lot of "freedom" for later usuage such as a topnotch script emulation, generic unpacking etc. However, even if the emulator is able to unpack almost all we will add static unpacking as well for keeping our trend as fast and reliable AV solution with a reasonable low amount of system resources usage. Those facts are difficult to "combine" but we'll do our best |
