[beavisviruses]

please test the new Norton ...

 

[harlan4096]

I will test BDF for some time, then I will think to try Norton but it was tested not so long ago here in the Hub for some time last year...

 

[Captain Awesome]

please test the Avira Free Anti-Virus....

 

[harlan4096]

As I said some days ago, so many demands... I can clone VMs but can't clone myself

You are one in demand lad

 

[harlan4096]

My 1st impressions after this test:

1.- Even being a so simple product and almost no protection modules/tweaks, I found/felft the system slower than I expected

2.- If You watch the video, You may check that BDF some times takes long to show the warnings after every detection/blocking, I even had to ran twice some samples to get a response and know what was happening

I have the exact same experience when testing BD
the update process consumed a lot of CPU and froze my VM sometimes. The cloud lookup took too long. ATC was slow but quite good although it caused high CPU while analyzing, same as what your video showed
I quited testing this AV for many reasons

 

[harlan4096]

I forgot to add that at the moment of posting this 1st malware pack for June, I also checked KTS2020b TR Russian (default settings) on demand and the result was 19 / 20... BDF was at the same time 4 / 20...

When I tried it in windows 8.1 I had the same problems like you. Now on windows 10 1809 i have not any problem. . Only on detection pretty hi cpu for few seconds. The rest is light on my system.

My 1st impressions after this test:

1.- Even being a so simple product and almost no protection modules/tweaks, I found/felft the system slower than I expected

Surely there are some small problems. He spends a lot of rams, In the updates and at detection use high cpu, but it is normal for a product that has not been updated for three years. It has a very good web filter, ( but have some false positives) And very good BB. Not bad at all. It protects pretty well for free edition, but it can not be compared with the top protections like Kaspersky free, Avast free, or Avg free.

Hi guys, I'm stopping testing BDF this week, I think with 2 weeks of results We got more or less an idea of its protection capabilities

hi, what will be the next victim?
could you test SHP? I think it's controversial here
also with norton

 

[harlan4096]

SHP? Symantec EndPoint Protection?

 

[Evjl's Rain]

SHP? Symantec EndPoint Protection?

sorry, It's sophos home premium
the next one after sophos is norton or symantec if you want
I prefer seeing norton because it's for regualr users while symantec is for bussiness (better)

Yes it is enough. And thanks again.

Thanks @harlan4096 for testing BD free. I would be more than happy to start testing Norton internet security starting on Monday if it will help people out and show us all what it can do. If the Malwarehub team don't mind I will definitely start testing Norton starting Monday and I'll take a leaf out of @harlan4096 's book and test the product for 2 weeks.

I'll contact one of the Malwarehub team either today or tomorrow regarding me testing Norton and to make sure I use the correct format for the Malwarehub.

Also I can't force signature update nor scan an specific folder :emoji_grimacing:

Not a very good start for SHP then

Thanks @harlan4096 I'll contact @Solarquest today.

@harlan4096 - Maybe test VoodooShield on Autopilot sometime in the future? If you wanted to test less strict security postures, contact Dan @ VS for a license.

 

[harlan4096]

Soon I'll stop testing until September so there will be time enough to test it also, why not?
