This test shows how an antivirus behaves with certain threats, in a specific environment and under certain conditions.
We encourage you to compare these results with others and take informed decisions on what security products to use.
Before buying an antivirus you should consider factors such as price, ease of use, compatibility, and support. Installing a free trial version allows an antivirus to be tested in everyday use before purchase.
Interesting do you have more info on this?Interesting observations:
- Avira appears to be engaged in extensive signature exchange with Avast, leading to speculation that they may eventually merge into a single engine. I await further developments on this front.
This is just my guess based on the similar results of the three products and given that they now have one owner. It would be strange to have two independent engines in Europe when both are owned by Norton.Interesting do you have more info on this?
With so many zero days you would not need to work. Each to his/her/its own, but I would sell those zero days and book a holiday99% does not exist. WOW. I've stopped reading these years ago. Try that with 100 zero days and blended threats... closer to the 50's range.
I know some people in the acquisition marketWith so many zero days you would not need to work. Each to his/her/its own, but I would sell those zero days and book a holiday
On their website, there is nothing mentioned about proprietary technology, as well as their release notes haven’t been updated since 2021.- Total Defense, built upon Bitdefender technology, has unexpectedly outperformed its parent company. Its success raises questions about its proprietary technologies. Has anyone conducted tests on Total Defense on MalwareTips? oO
Trend Micro has always been very bad at the malware protection test. Trend Micro is very quick to discard non-working malware (with dead C&Cs or not prevalent) from their database. It also relies too much on real time behaviour and memory analysis so once malware is not active anymore, it may not be detected.Trend Micro has recognized that attempting to detect everything can be counterproductive and has attempted to revise its protection strategy. There aren't a million false positives anymore. However, its effectiveness was previously reliant on everything detection =)
The acquisition was years ago, so why now?With so many zero days you would not need to work. Each to his/her/its own, but I would sell those zero days and book a holiday
Oh my bad. Meant to reply to @CyberDevil
1. I did not post about selling samples!Nobody will buy already compiled zero-days because the data will be exfiltrated to someone else. They would need the appropriate toolkits so they can configure the malware with their own infrastructure….
You better stop that before you start making sense lol.Nobody will buy already compiled zero-days because the data will be exfiltrated to someone else. They would need the appropriate toolkits so they can configure the malware with their own infrastructure….
I was replying to @Sandbox Breaker there1. I did not post about selling samples!
2. How did you manage to compile and assemble my zero days?
Acquisition of zero day "exploits" although not fully related as this topic is covering malware. Thought I'd clarifyI was replying to @Sandbox Breaker there
F-Secure uses Avast signatures?!F-Secure has demonstrated impressive protection level, leveraging a vast database comprising Avast and Avira signatures, coupled with one of the most advanced behavioral analyzers developed in-house.
They use Avira, who is owned by the same company, I think there’s an assumption here that they are sharing signatures.F-Secure uses Avast signatures?!
