[Av Gurus]

Here are the latest info about Antivirus software and what engine they use:



* VirusBuster engine now owned by Agnitum
** Frisk now owned Cyren (Commtouch)
*** ThreatTrack - renamed GFI VIPRE engine

Update (10/30/2015):
- In Tencent PC Manager Avira engine was replaced in the Bitdefender.

Mostly Bitdefender is used, but Bitdefender is one of the most vulnerable engines out there as well.......

Could you explain why?

Baidu: Avira

I heard that the international version of Baidu Antivirus no longer uses any 3rd-party engine now.

Does the Chinese version still use Kaspersky?

I heard that now the native version is using the engine of Bitdefender instead of Kaspersky.

Baidu doesn't use Avira engine anymore.

I just download offline installer Baidu from their site (Baidu Antivirus 5.0) and installed on my PC, think I see Avira...

STRANGE????...after Baidu did an update, Avira engine is gone!?!?

Yes, Baidu Antivirus removed Avira Engine.

I noticed "Porn-Dial" in the Baidu GUI.

No good for me. Interferes with online "research"...

Hmm.... Well with Bitdefender engine all of those products will increase the detection rates up to 90% which why Norman that perform mediocre is helped to revive with BD signatures.*

No wonder you can have a license engine from them easily without any circumstances.
