[QUOTE="kC77, post: 981735, member: 92796"] from my last few days of testing mass execution recent samples (from malware bazaar) in a VM, ive so far tested (antivirus versions only not internet security packages) Windows Defender (Hardened) Kaspersky Standard Sophos Home Premium F-Secure Safe G-Data Antivirus Avast Free Eset Antivirus I would NOT recommend and im amazed to say it is ESET (total failure lots of cryptos ran and data lost) and second failure (worse) was Sophos Home Premium which missed many things but one of which was a drive wiper, destroying the OS & making the VM unbootable Id also NOT recommend G-Data as it is just too slow to detect/decide/quarantine and also still missed a fair few. (cancelled the test as it went on too long) out of the remaining I was absolutely shocked as id never tested it before was Avast Free, completely aced the test, really quick. (id often thought of avast as a poor choice but never tested) so whatever you choose here is my Thumbs up list 1.Windows Defender (Hardened) (Zero executions of any sample! & super fast) 2. Avast Free (Zero executions of any sample! & super fast) 3. F-Secure Safe (some malware did run, but deepguard killed the process, and the system was clean) 4. Kaspersky comes in a close 4th, it let malware run, but did clean itself up and after a reboot system was clean Now for the not reccomended list G-Data - Way too slow to do anything, takes ages to make its mind up and still missed detections, test had to be cancelled as it was just too slow and it missed things ESET - Im totally shocked by this, but LOTS of malware got through, and wasnt detected, many cryptos eating up CPU power, and my test images were encrypted Sophos Home Premium - The absolute worst of the lot..... This missed a Drive wiper malware, 6 minutes into the test the machine crashed and then wouldnt boot [B]Scenario #1[/B]: [U]f-secure safe, or avast free or windows defender hardened:[/U] [B]Scenario #2[/B]: [U]f-secure safe, or avast free or windows defender hardened:[/U] [B]Scenario #3[/B]: [U]f-secure safe, or avast free or windows defender hardened:[/U] [B]Scenario #4[/B]: [U]f-secure safe, or avast free or windows defender hardened:[/U] [B]Scenario #5[/B]: [U]windows defender hardened:[/U] [B]Scenario #6[/B]: [U]windows defender hardened:[/U] [/QUOTE]
