Sorry I just go back my VM to clean state. So no malwares folder there

in future tests recommended to run the remaining samples.Example: BitDefender well block unknown samples

Avast! Really doing great job.What the age of Malware samples?@Safe 1st.

Yup sure, like I did on this test. Scan the folder and run some malwares. then scan system with MBAM and Hitman pro.

4 days ago. At least not more than a week. All sample is same, check it the size of it on each test.

You can't do this test like this. AVG & ESET have healing options, they don't remove the file, only malicious code in the file. After scan and clean/remove You should check that folder for leftover files with some 3-party app (Zemana, EEK, MBAM...) to see which files are really malicious.

I know, I just did same thin 'like' other testers did. other testers did like this, isnt it?

 

[Av Gurus]

If everybody doing it wrong so should you? What is the point of doing the test if it not the right way?

Ok, accepted
Did you comment like that to other testers, did ya?

@safe1st

yeah, you are doing it wrong again

You didn't read all my post in the other topic did you?

The only way ESET doesn't try to disinfect a file is if you select "No cleaning" on the threatsense options!!! If you select this you will be asked at the end of the scan what do you want to do with the infected files, you should select "delete".

Strict cleaning is trying to disinfect, as you can read on the settings menu "ESET will automatically attempt to clean (to clean means disinfect) or delete".

Please, don't understand me wrong. I appreciate the work you do, but you are making it wrong and I strongly suggest you to take care with that if you want to use the remaining files inside the folder as an indicator.

Totally agree Av Gurus,
Doing it in a manner that calls the results into question compromises your very effort, doing it in a manner that goes that extra step for the sake of accuracy sets testers apart in a crowded field. PeAcE

I dont see any disinfect thingy

Cleaning levels
The different cleaning levels are No cleaning, Standard cleaning or Strict cleaning. These modes govern the behavior of the scanner when cleaning infected files. More information on each respective cleaning level is provided below:

No cleaning: In this mode, your ESET product will not automatically clean any threats. It will prompt you with an alert window when a threat is detected and allow you to choose from a list of available actions.

Standard cleaning: This is the recommended (default) mode. In this mode, your ESET product will automatically clean or delete infected files. If it is not possible to select the correct action automatically, you will be prompted with an alert window that will allow you to select from a list of available actions. You will also be prompted to choose an action if the predefined action could not be completed.

Strict cleaning: In this mode, your ESET product will automatically clean or delete infected files without user intervention; the only exceptions are system files. If the scanner detects an infected system file that cannot be cleaned, you will be prompted with an alert window that will allow you to select from a list of available actions.

Review is personal interpretation
Just as reviewer needs to take criticism and suggestions, so as members need to watch their language when point to critic/suggestion for improvement. Writing on internet is not the same like live talking so again I ask for members to pick words when discussing. All inappropriate or borderline replies will be edited or deleted.

Please keep calm or I will be forced to close the thread!

 

[safe1st]

Thank you guys.
@Klipsh @BoraMurdar

I just want say, next time. Tell me all settings you want, and we can discuss it
Because Im doing tests based default, what I want first. But after you said that, its different. I will do it next time.

My remarks were offered to you with the hope of inspiring growth, not hate.
You do a good job and will only grow sharper skills with feedback and time.
Don't let the feedback stifle you, stay dedicated
