It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Baidu Antivirus 2015 - Part 1 (Installation & First Look)

Installing Baidu Antivirus 2015 and look at new things.
I will also check the impact of the launch of PC before and after installation with Boot Racer, how much RAM usage and HDD space.
In the next video I'll do a synthetic tests (Part 2).
On Part 3 I'll do phishing and malware links, as well as a folder with a lot of fresh malware.



===========================================================================================

Baidu Antivirus 2015 - Part 2 (Synthetic Test)

Testing Baidu Antivirus 2015 with several synthetic programs:
- AntiTest
- CLT
- COT
- LeakTest
- PC Security Test
- PCFlank
- Process Hacker_x64
- Regtest
- System Shutdown Simulator
- Mini Security Test
- Zemana Keylogger test



=================================================================================

Baidu Antivirus 2015 - Part 3 (Malware & Phishing Test)

Testing new Baidu Antivirus 2015 against valid phishing and Malware links (all default settings).
Also test folder with 400 pieces of malware and checking them on Virus Total with Phrozen VirusTotal Uploader.



==========================================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOOD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice and clean interface
Light on system and RAM (about 20MB RAM)
Useful things in Toolbox
Quick Scan is fast (about 30sec)
Not slowing boot up
Good in self protection
Malware URL
Folder with malware ( 378/400 = 94.5%)
System Repair Tool (@Toolbox)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Avira database update very slow (about 30min)
First Program and Virus database (about 5 min)
Not so good in synthetic HIPS test
Phishing URL
Not stopping installation of PUP/PUA/Adware
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All in all not bad for the system ended.
Lots PUP / PUA / adware stuff but nothing critical, and not fixable.
Baidu has proven to be very easy and quite good at protect the user and the system.
When the settings are adjusted to high would probably be better protected but the default is not bad.

Thank you for your test.
As for the monitor of PUP/PUA/Adware, it's a known problem, we will fix it ASAP.
As for the synthetic HIPS test, maybe for Baidu Antivirus, it's meaning less to test. Because the Cloud Scan result for these tools are "Safe", not "Malicious" or "Unknown", our HIPS module will trust them automatically.
As for the slow speed of downloading vdb.We will add more servers to accelerate download:)
BTW, if you use default settings of Baidu Antivirus, the heur level of engine is middle, PUA/PUP/Adware will not scan in our own engine(except avira engine).
