[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 844687, member: 83059"] Yep totally! I definitely think it's valuable and would love to test that on a different occasion. This test was more meant as "assuming the worst case where someone tricked me into running something malicious, how well will my AV protect my data and identify malicious behavior happening in realtime?" Another interesting test I think would be "how well can it clean unknown malware?" -- from this test it seems like Kaspersky would win here. It had the most comprehensive attempt to roll back a harmful chain of events. F-Secure and Emsisoft both prevented the initial attempt to hook as a startup item. Norton's result was kind of funny because every time the system starts, Norton would realize THAT startup item was malicious and quarantine it, but it wouldn't realize that it had already replicated itself and registered another startup item for the next reboot 🤣. But infection detection and personal document protection are what I consider the most important. If my AV tells me it found something bad, it would trigger me to more carefully analyze my system. I do not need it to return my system to a 100% uninfected status. [/QUOTE]
