@MalwareBlockerYT should do a AVG/Avast Review based on some nasties from the Vault - maybe with signatures off to see the dynamic performance

Not very good test. The links were pretty easy and the samples were not working and probably outdated. I expected better from TPSC.

Yes a decent test, but honestly I don't like when the reviewer uses to rename the samples: malware (1)...malware (2)...etc.
Something to hide ?.....

The testers get their samples with SHA256: a7693198ebe5cec461b5acda26185795f149514afb5cb5972eb2ac07a4ade4aa.bin
It seems to me they always adding the file extension .EXE (malware[1].exe) to every file without proving the file type of the samples.
If you don't get the original file type sometimes the sample is not able to run (Exactly that happened in the video)

Thanks to Der.Reisende for sharing and Leo for testing.

I had similar good results with Avast just wondering if it`s due in some part to the incorporation of AVG`s "Identity Protection" within Avast ?

Just a thought.
