Great video, but why did you skip the norton review. I was waiting for it for some time now.. anyway thanks for your work

:)
sorry, I tried to play around with norton but the realtime protect almost blocked all of my samples by signatures and I couldn't find enough fresh samples to test it. Samples I collected yesterday were all blocked by norton for your information

I have been watching norton on Malware hub. I should be better than bitdefender, on the same position as kaspersky and emsisoft, maybe a bit lower than those 2

Sorry to hijack your thread but I am doing a Norton Review sometime in the next few weeks. I have technically done it but I'm going to do a retest because I did the test about 2 months ago...

Also great video :)
yeah, Norton is for you :) It's great to see norton in action against different types of malwares
I don't have enough ransomwares to test it. Also can you test SONAR in offline condition? Many users have requested this but seems no one has tested

Would love to see TM, too :)
Dr. Web Security Space v11, as it is more comprehensive :)

Please can you test Comodo Cloud Antivirus with his Sandbox? Very interesting I think, how good is the conzept with a Sandbox.
I did it but I didn't record a video. I will tell you the result: it blocked 99.99% of my samples, only petya bypassed and completely shut down the VM. only 1 miss
comodo firewall in Proactive mode + no restriction -> blocked everything including petya, 100% result
