Bitdefender blocked 100%,yes this is a good daybut i am impressed AVG and AVIRA also blocked 100%

Why emisoft is so much user dependent ?

Why emisoft is so much user dependent ?

Depending on what the user does with an alert from it's behaviour blocker.A novice user may be unable to distinguish the alerts,and act accordingly!!
Behavior Blocker - Emsisoft Internet Security

Kaspersky would be installed on my computer if I did not have Bitdefender,I think it is these two who is fighting for the customers right now

Why emisoft is so much user dependent ?

Like venustus said. All depends on the user and how the user distinguishes whats the bad and whats good from the BB popup.

Wow....my highschool sweetheart is doing 100% ( AVG )

 

[Dirk41]

Yeah I supposed that , but , since I never tried emisoft , I asked to know how it works . I suppose it gives the user much more possibility to choose

 

[Davidov]

Perhaps they send samples to find out MalwareTips meetings did not 100 percent hih .-)) They certainly are not as old .-))

 

[In2an3_PpG]

Man 50 FP's from F-Secure!! Seems to me likes it climbing each month but it still scores 100 percent detected. So that's good then.

 

[Dirk41]

Anyway more AV reached 100% than September test.

Someone could say that if many reach 100% -> test not reliable . But I have no proofs to say this

 

[Fritz]

…and 50 FP with F-Secure?!? Riight.

I think I'll take that test for what it's worth.

 

[Solarquest]

Why emisoft is so much user dependent ?

Emsisoft asks user to confirm action when its Behavior blocker detected something suspicious and the nothing was found in the anti-malware database online about the file.
In these cases it recommends an action, most to quarantine the file.

 

[DJ Panda]

Avast does awesome like usual! This is why I use it as my free AV

 

[Vanduss]

96.2% by windows defender... not bad at all

 

[jamescv7]

Very easy test for those who are top contender; unfortunately yellow ratings will never ever be counted on the test.

People should understand that some protection are meant to balance the capabilities.

 

[RoboMan]

Go Avast! Nice scores by the way. Surprised by AVG. Seems like some AV Vendors are taking it more seriously. Hopefully, they will include Symantec's Norton back again on their tests.
