I really liked the part where webguard block the url threw up except from banker trojan with its something partial blocked but its executed.
 
It could have done better but i am happy with the results hopefully in the next build that they release soon will improve the auto-sandbox.
 
But why did he took it down ? I did manage to see it .... Avast failed or ...?
 
Avast did very well, but with one flaw when disabling the File System Shield it also disables the Auto-Sandbox, I don't think the user realised this at the time.
 
Thats not a flaw...............Thats called not understanding how the program works. When you disable the file shield it also disables the sandbox.
 
It's a flaw in the test.

Edit: I referring to the video test in my previous comment.
 
Oh sorry about that. Ok here is the thing. We all know that going to MDL does not mean a thing. Copying a pasting 10 malicious links is more then the average Joe will see in a life time. Before I full commited myself to Avast I did something yesturday while I had some spare time. I went on MDL and copied/pasted every single link on the front page. Some did not work but the ones that did were blocked. So basically thats about 40/40. Thats enough for me to stick with it. Even though MRG shows that Avast does not do that well with zero day threats its good enough for me.
 
Cudgelwap1 Sorry everyone. My Avast video was somewhat of a dud. It was too improvised, and I will be making another improved version soon.
