AVLab.pl Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test – November 2024

[Adrian Ścibor]

Found it. Is the ESET being tested the latest v18?
And are there any test for impact on computer performance? I would like to know which one is the lightweight AV between ESET and Kaspersky.

We always test on the latest versions - once a day files of each AV and signatures are updated + browser and browser' addons.

Not once before the test and new versions are frozen - this does not occur in our tests.

Full methodology of the Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test and other information about this test are here: Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test » AVLab Cybersecurity Foundation

We do not check the performance, so I cannot tell you how or whether the new Eset 18 is. BUT we do not observed any problems with Eset, with its automation our backend.

You'd be hard push to notice any real impact between the two.

Majority say ESET is lighter and yeah, it probably is, but again, not to the point where it's noticeable. If that makes sense?

Bitdefender had a bad time with signature updates, its fixed now in the last 5 days, so its possible detection was a little bit lower.

I always liked Panda anyway, and the licenses are very inexpensive.... The VPN is also very cheap...

Now that the AV's have been shown to be the same, use anything you want except webroot and xcitium

Run all of them together just to be on the safe side

yes indeed, just uninstall Windows 11 first

 

[tofargone]

Webroot results surprise me.

I'm surprised that you are surprised

 

[tofargone]

What Bitdefender and Eset failed where even Panda and Webroot score a perfect! So shocked!

I think world is screw if this is really real and not a dream.

Careful, it could be a nightmare instead

ESET will most likely be slightly lighter. However, you probably wouldn't notice too much difference between the two. As always, the best way to test performance, is try both products for yourself, as antivirus performance can vary greatly from one computer to the next.

I prefer Kaspersky but currently trying ESET smart premium trial and found it lighter than Kaspersky.

I love Kaspersky. who cares what a bunch of incompetent goofs, who can't make it in the public sector, so they turn to the GOV for a job, say

Wow, I'm surprised by Panda result.

Well you really shouldn't be. One test 98%, next test 100%, rinse and repeat. Basically most major anti-virus will test within 2% every time. Basically they are all within the margin of error and anyone should be good enough for your protection.

ESET. Lightweight & top notch protection.

Does anyone know how good Panda web protection is?

I didn't try it yet.

 

[oldschool]

I didn't try it yet.

It's non-existent, AFAICT, from the very limited testing I did.

Used to be top notch back in the day but now I presume it`s only in the paid products.

The sad thing is there is people out there who will change solutions because this time whatever they are using missed a sample or was 0.1% below some other solution...And then will do that again when the next test is released.
