Hello
Im thinking about making a new comprehensive security suite test. I was thinking of something along these lines:
1) All these online tests you see are done with random links. This doesnt give a decent comparison to other softwares.
2) They do not very often parse the popups properly
3) They dont try the software on an infected system and test its cleaning capabilities.
So I was thinking of making a test with all the big names like this:
1) Install all the softwares on a clean version of Windows 7 x64 Enterprise
2) Briefly go through each one.
3) Instead of going to each link individually, I will download them prior to testing. I then update all softwares at the same time and then unplug internet (so they all test on the same grounds).
4) I then scan the folder and remove everything that was detected by signatures (as those are not interesting, just waste time for now) and then execute the "real" 0day malware. I then see how the software handles these threats and finally draw a simple conclusions.
5) I then install the products on new fresh system (same update definitions as earlier, unplug from internet) and infect it, then try to clean it with the software.
6) When that is done I draw another conclusion about the entire software performance.
I will probably release this in a PDF too.
What do you guys think?
I am unsure about the "unplugging from internet" thing but I will probably not manage to test all programs in 1 day which means that some might get an edge if they update definitions etc.
What do you think?
I will test the following:
- Kaspersky
- Norton
- Comodo
- Online Armor++
- Vipre
- Bitdefender
