Advice Request Intrusta Antivirus - Anyone heard of them?

[Dave Russo]

Interesting test My computer failed,anyone using another security program besides Eset do well in this test? I have Thou preimium home,SecureAplus and Free Firewall complimenting Windows firewall

Then I switched over to my Kaspersky Total security and that bombed this test also,it did pass 1 out of 18,so now I am back to Eset,with secureaplus on a kind of passive mode,and it passed this test with 17 out of 18,still sorry lol what kind of test is this? Take The Test - Test Your Metal by Fortinet

Wait, let me understand, you uninstalled Kaspersky Total Security because of this "Metal test"?

Another AV. Kill yourself.

WTF is wrong with this industry. Why don't you just install 10 of them

The industry is full of subpar clones of Avira and Bitdefender solutions, they dont bring anything special and most of the time they are inferior to Windows Defender, so why bother?

My license for Kaspersky was close to expiring and ,I had gotten the free 2 year give away for SecureAplus (at this site)and also a Eset Internet security for 2 years dirt cheap , applied Roboman"s configuration and very happy,but yes the failed test did influence me Thanks

Fortiguard "Metal" is a simple EICAR test using different compression formats, just chill guys; this test doesnt say anything about third party solutions protection or capabilities.

Ps: I am a ESET user and dont think it has any meaning if it is passing or failing this test.

The tests I made with Intrusta antivirus, was simply because I had no documentation on how well Intrusta was performing, so in this case I judged Intrusta inferior, as it failed ALL of the tests, and my normal AV NOD32 took all of them except one. Intrusta use Avira engine? That sound mystical, then it should at least have reacted on some of the eicar files? But then I dont know what and how Fortiguard has manipulated the thingy.

I wonder if they put as much effort into the actual software as they put into creating their about page.

Thanks for testing it out.

I will now refer to it as "Don'tTrusta."

You are very welcome.

Intrusta will not be used on my computer ever. Failing eicar tests? Maybe they would argue, that it don't respond because eicar is no real threat. But I think that is a bad move. eicar was made to let people check whether their antivirus was installed the right way, and responded to different threats. Who nose?

 

[alakazam]

What the flip is eicar?

What the flip is eicar?

It's test files that dont harm the computer.

And McAfee is #2. And Kaspersky is #5.

Bogus.
