Emsisoft is really strong detection abilities most chances are detected and few little chance of having missed samples.

 

[Dieselman]

Emsisoft may be good at detecting malware but it comes with a hefty price tag.

 

[Jack]

Don't need to buy it... you can just download their free Emsisoft Emergency Kit. and scan with it.
Norton with 2 fails...didn't expect that.LOL.

 

[jamescv7]

Yes

That's why they have their on demand scanner yet free also same detection from paid version.

 

[Jack]

The bad part with Emsisfot Emergency Kit is that it dosen't install a "Scan with Emsisoft" on mouse "right click" .....
Nevertheless it's a good scanner....It's the only one that I've seen that detects this : http://www.emsisoft.com/en/malware/Adware.Win32.BSplayer-remove.aspx ....

I stopped using Emsisoft Emegency Kit on calls because it never detects anything. MBAM,NPE and HMP do all the work. EEK finds nothing but cookies. Plus the updates are 60MB or so.

The Ikarus engine is usually quite good, I wonder why they aren't doing much in your experience.

I am really surprized of Immunet; it doesn't have the best AV.

Why wasn't CIS apart of this?

 

[Dieselman]

Being a huge fan of Comodo I would think you know this. MRG and Comodo had a huge falling out awhile back. Chris from MRG found security holes in CIS and brought them to the attention of the Comodo team. So they banned him. Plus this is a stand alone av test and not a security suite test.

 

[jamescv7]

Well as Dieselman stated, here is the video about the security holes that MRG showed.

 

[Valentin N]

Could someone ask to send their malware to my mail? Thanks

I don't know everything.

I don't know anything about banning anyone and I was curious to know; I have seen CIS there before which the reason why I asked. I would also like to give comodo so that malware so that they can analyze it. It's nice to see that they found some bugs. I would have liked to see the computer restarted.

 

[Dieselman]

MRG will not releases there malware nor will they ever associate with Comodo. I know Chris and Sveta personally. Comodo and MRG have not been friends for about a year now. Comodo has a habit of banning anyone who shows security holes in CIS. Melih in his team think its the most perfect product.

 

[Valentin N]

Okey. I am sorry to hear that. I will post in comodo forums. Could you ask them to test it on CIS 5.3? it's okey if the answer is no

Follow the thread at comodo forums

 

[Dieselman]

There is not reason to post it or even ask. MRG DOES NOT TEST SUITES. Please see all there other tests. All your doing is causing trouble.

 

[Jack]

Comodo knows about this stuff : http://forums.comodo.com/news-announcements-feedback-cis/why-is-comodo-not-included-in-mrg-test-merged-t55743.0.html

In which way am I causing problem??? first of all I had no idea that comodo used their tools with permission and second of all I asked you nicely.

what jack posted is something new to me.

 

[Dieselman]

My PM to Sveta. Need I say more.

Will you ever consider testing Comodo again? Or just too much bad blood?


Nah, don't think we will do any public testing with them at all. They are way too unprofessional.

I really don't feel one way or the other about them honestly, they made their bed and now they have to sleep in it.

We're about to publish a series of Banking tests and will appear in a dedicated TV program which will be broadcasted by one of the biggest TV networks in the world.

Oh, and CIS failed in all of our new Banking tests now that I think about it, they still fail on our old simulators, the ones they said they passed on

How is Avast treating you?
