App Review Kaspersky Internet Security VS EMSISOFT Internet Secuity

Excellent video, note that most programs are legitimate but are embedded within other programs passing through PUP's what is not the forte of Kaspersky, definitely Kaspersky in the default setting is not good, is bad, because 80% of users do not understand much and end up infecting themselves.

he had PUP detection disabled since it's off by default.

Yep, it should be standard activated, but...

Y'all might wanna grab a good book, surely @mekelek is getting ready to DDOS the forum as we speak.

I liked the conclusion, he could have skipped the rest. So much was flying by with no explanation, it could been video's of celebrities and been just helpful. Sorry but this is a perfect example of why I wouldn't bother

Thank you for sharing this great video

Thanks for sharing. I think that if you would have tweaked a bit Kaspersky (automatically delete, instead of try to disinfect), PUP detection on, detect other software than can be used to damage your system, it would have been able to block nearly everything. Plus, if customizing web protection to a higher level, would probably have blocked more phishing sites or malware hosts.

A bit dissapointed though by Kaspersky's default protection, which most unexperienced users use.

Hello,

We can not test antivirus software with the default settings when testing a product, no users will be confronted with this particular case.

We can not test antivirus software with the default settings when testing a product, no users will be confronted with this particular case.

I know that many of us use their AVs with custom setting but majority of user(mostly inexperience) use their AVs protection in default setting. So any test regarding AVs need to be in default setting to reflect this situation, making sure that the majority of user is protected by their security solution.

Au contraire my friend, every user is confronted with that particular case, so it makes perfect sense. Now you could subtract the few thousand enthusiasts who know and care how to tweak the settings, but then you're left with 99.9999999% using standard settings. That is basically every user.

What usually happens is that Paul buys an AV solution because his buddy John or some article in the news scared him. So he installs it and is done with it. He doesn't know about any settings nor does he care: "I bought an AV, so I'm safe now" is what he'll tell you. Sad but true.

I personally want to know more and thank [insert preferred deity here], that there's MT—but I couldn't name anybody close-by who'd take such an interest as well.

 

[fredoo]

I agree, but it is not a normal situation to launch malware one after another, no users will be faced with such a situation, so I think that changing the default settings for a test is Because the antivirus is required to perform better.

Nice video good job.


Norton test plz

 

[omidomi]

Nice video.
but Kaspersky in default is a "little weak" against PUP.
both of them are good

 

[Evjl's Rain]

an expected result. I doubt that emsisoft's PUP protection was enabled by default because it's recommended during the installation process
Kaspersky is known to be very weak against PUPs, even with PUP protection enabled, still not great. Perhaps, to avoid being sued by PUP makers. most other big companies also do so
with proper tweaks, both will produce excellent results regardless of any test
