Hello all! 
Today I decided to make my first comparison, comparing Kaspersky, F-Secure and Norton.
These are the 3 antiviruses that I hear the most at the moment, so they will compete to see who will win!
The test battery is identical: 5 Phishing URLs, 10 malware URLs, 1 fake crack full of malware, 1 pack of 6981 threats.
Disinfection with Hitman Pro only.
Phishing Test:
The 1st is Kaspersky and achieves a score of 2/5.
A little disappointed...
The second one is F-Secure and achieves an almost flawless score of 4/5
And finally Norton makes a score of 1/4 (1 URL was dead)
Our competitors are hot, let's go on !
Malware :
Norton and F-Secure make the same score : 10/10
On the other hand, our friend Kaspersky gets screwed... The 10th URL was a Ransomware, and Kaspersky does not stop it... Impossible to continue! Kaspersky is eliminated.
Fake crack:
F-Secure and Norton both block it.
Malware Pack:
F-Secure took 1h to analyze and clean, Norton took 2h45 !!!
The 2 antiviruses blocked many threats during the execution, but I found F-Secure much more comfortable. Norton had trouble from time to time.
Result Hitman Pro :
F-Secure makes a machine healthy! Only files in the archive are detected.
Norton lets through 2 active infections, and several files from the pack (the files are not counted, only the active infections count)
Overall Test:
1st : F-Secure. Makes a machine healthy, and new!
2nd : Norton. Passes 2 infections
3rd : Kaspersky, the disappointment. A Ransomware passed preventing it from continuing....
The comparison took 6 hours to complete!
