In your opinion, what are the top 3 best signature scan engines? (In order)

Based on my own testing, for PUP detection, Dr Web is far superior to anything else. ESET does better than just about every other AV, but Dr Web detects many more PUPs.eset , avast and AVG have great sigs put when it comes to pup detection eset takes the crown
GData uses an in-house engine alongside BD engine for higher detection.On personal testing, i'd point out:
The matter lies on testing independent engines, because a full product may have modules that may make engines detect higher.
- Kaspersky
- Emsisoft
- BitDefender
- GData (i don't know which engine it uses?)
Forget KSN, it's not static analysis of the actual files but it's the file reputation (static but not in the same sense of signatures). Kaspersky have very good generic signatures for static analysis and a nice memory scanner, so I agree with you for Kaspersky 100%Bitdefender and Avira. Kaspersky also has great static detection, thanks to KSN
Yeah, Kaspersky is great even without those additional security forces like KSN, though these only improve the probability of detection.I don't even use Kaspersky, never have used on host properly, but I know it's amazing from testing. In fact, Kaspersky have stronger self-defense than all the other products on the market like ESET, Emsisoft, Bitdefender, G-Data, etc.
