Hello and welcome to the CMC test!
CMC Antivirus is a totally unknown antivirus from Vietnam.
The editor offers a free security solution, but without advanced security.
Indeed, the editor has only put a virus signature detection engine which is completely insufficient in 2022!

The test shows that CMC is poor in shields, but its detections unfortunately do not follow.
0 detection on the malicious links. 1 only on the false crack, and too few on the pack.
The system is quickly infected and blocked by a Ransomware.
It's a pity because by depriving it of defensive shields, it finds itself obsolete with its database, which does not help it.

RAM Usage : Light
Malware URL test : 0/9 (all missed, 1 dead)
Fake crack : 0/1 (1 detected, but the system gets infected quickly without CMC being able to react)
Malware Pack : Remains 28 files out of 42 malware. The PC is blocked by a Ransomware 10 seconds later. Failure

=> Impossible to pass the disinfection tools. The PC is blocked by a Ransomware.
You have to use a rescue CD to disinfect.
Failure

Recommand : No. Test failed
System Clean : No. System infected

As a Vietnamese, I used to use CMC and Bkav when I was a teen, I found them quite useless. I don't know if the current version has improved anything compared to the previous version? Looks like CMC is still as bad as before :whistle:
The current version of Bkav is much better. It did very well when I did a static scan of an old collection of malware. But, I have no idea how it would do with new threats.

I think Bkav must be good on old malware and not on new ones because I rarely see it on VirusTotal....
