@safe1st yes you are right the unmentionable one even did got a license for it ( luckely cheap ) but gave it to someone else here on mt , he is no longer a member here ( Yigido ) and that is a big , big pitty because he was a good friend and good contributor

Good test always

Norton have excellent proactive and detection components.

download insight is also a strong componant!

Kaspersky is not my cup of tea because of their PUP and adware policy

Thanks for the review @safe1st really good to see Norton's web blocking springing into action and blocking them that fast! Ceirtainly a massive improvement +1 to Symantec Kaspersky didn't do that well...

P.S: Are you sure they were all malware? On Process Explorer some 'Malware' was 0/57 and 1/57.

Sometimes the result what you see on process explorer is older.. if you watch the other video, I re-submitted the file to virustotal (manually) just for make sure and the newer result is different..

A great grudge match. thanks for the video.

Norton is atm one of the best products you can have. Great signatures, and the SONAR protection is unbeatable. It removed everything after reboot. They even recommended NPE in one of their popup screens in the video, so in case something did a bit more damage than expected, they still have the right tools to get rid of that.
Also very good result from Kaspersky, but I like Norton a bit more, especially because of SONAR.

Yes, it's true Kaspersky still is not so good in PUP/PUA detection, for long time They just ignored and almost did not added/work on blocking this type of malware, nowadays They are adding many, but not enough, still long time to recover... also Their policy about adding PUP/PUA sometimes too much strict

Anyway I see You didn't enable a setting that by default is disabled in Kaspersky:

Settings -> Additional -> Threats & Exclusions -> Detect Other software that can be used by criminals to damage Your computer or personal data.

Maybe will not change the final results, but can help to detect some extra stuff.

Yes, but I dont change any settings on Norton tho..

I change 1 setting on Kaspersky because @yesnoo and @shukla44

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, understand, I guessed it... what I still don't understand is why this setting is still disabled by default in new Kaspersky products

They most try to work on prevention, in fact with Kaspersky 2016 there is a new module System Changes Control, but I think still not so mature in blocking advertisement, maybe with time...

Maybe they are afraid of violating copyright??

Kaspersky protecting you from exploits, except when copyright is involved.

One final note: due to copyright reasons, we couldn’t check if the leaked Hacking Team archive has this exploit as well. We assume the security community which found the other zero-days in the HackingTeam leaks will also be able to check for this one.
