[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1032350, member: 99014"] Not sure how it scored these 9/9 on web protection when I quickly opened about 10-15 urls and Heimdal Thor merely blocked one. It seems like on this test it had a very good day. The bad result I witnessed could only be compared to Panda, as I have never seen such a weak protection anywhere. If anybody wants I can demonstrate it on a video too. This product is an absolute joke and for a paid solution, a complete rip-off. I can only advise to be avoided. Better security can be achieved by installing literally everyone else. I am also really curious about the “Next-Gen” antivirus engine, the Avira engine is mostly signatures and the AHEAD heuristics that have been around 20 years+. If Heimdal is serious about what they do, urgently they need to redirect portion of their revenue to a third-party threat intelligence feed (or feeds) and they need to have a look at the Avira engine settings. Most likely by default they use lowest level of heuristic aggressiveness. [/QUOTE]
