Do we actually need so many security programs?

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 774527, member: 32260"] I repeated the test with script trojan-downloaders against [SIZE=18px][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]BitDefender Free[/COLOR][/SIZE] AV (BDF). The scripts adopted 7 different methods of downloading files and 8 different methods of executing files from scripts. I used VBScript and PowerShell. BDF detected [B]4 methods of downloading files and 4 methods of executing files[/B]. The detected scripts were quarantined. The files were detected on access (static detection, probably by heuristics). This is much better as compared to Sophos Premium and KFA, but far from perfect. Also [B]BDF will benefit from adopting an additional application for script blocking.[/B] [/QUOTE]
