Quite impressive. Glad at Emsisoft.

lol i have EAM and Zemana installed, i think im safe ^^

RIP avira and SAS, a shadow of what they were...

Avast and Bit Defender failed so coranti and GData ^^

 

[win7holic]

even avast can't passed on the ransom test. MBAM can passed. that's why i use MBAM pro

This a bit surprise that most AV have got a straight 4 failures, Panda is good as 2 samples were block. Emsisoft was still great,

Kaspersky and Prevx seems they are good in detecting ransom.

Does this mean an on-demand scan with Hitman Pro (ZAM) can remove the threat while infected with the ransom trojan?

 

[jamescv7]

Probably it was used Force Breach Mode to terminated process and work well to removed threats.

Wonder what part of Emsisoft made it so effective. Using Mamutu, which I feel definitely improves their scores.

Im sure it is both the File Shield and Mamutu, they work very well together.

 

[jamescv7]

Mostly Emsisoft may detect the samples from signatures, generics or behavior blocker. Also Emsisoft was up to date in any new zero day malware.

I use EAM and ZAL [plus Outpost Security Suite for the firewall/HIPS, AV component switched off] on a 32-bit XP, with PrevX SafeOnline and BufferZone Pro as well. Add some sensible surfing habits - I should be OK, I suppose

Sadly, the same sentiment in regards to Avira and SAS...

Kudos to Kaspersky, PrevX. MBAM and DefenceWall!
