AV-C Whole Product Dynamic : Overall Results August-November

[Jack]

AV-Comparatives Whole Product Dynamic Tests
In this test all features of the product contribute protection, not only one part (like signatures/ heuristic file scanning). So the ability of detection/protection should be higher than in testing only parts of the product. We would recommend that all parts of a product would provide high protection, not only single components (e.g. URL blocking protects only while browsing the web, but not against malware introduced by other means or already present on the system).

Glad to see those guys standing at the top. But this is an unexpected result from avast, hope they wake up soon.

Keep in mind that they tested Avast FREE. All the other tested products are paid suites. It seems odd to me that they would do that. They should be testing Avast Internet Security.

The only case is if the Avast Team were really intention to test the product using the free version.

Likely if they do it.

 

[Smart Error]

it seems that symantec has lower false positive rate on this test .. unlike other tests it have too high !

 

[moonshine]

Symantec will be in the top as always. Too bad to see that Avast! didn't made it to the top.

Its like Avast Team were aware on the result especially in removal test.
