f-secure - no own engine, it cloud detection
Except AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, Panda, Trend Micro and Sophos
As far as I know, F-Secure has has own AV lab, next Avast and Kaspersky I think it's most recognizable one in catching new malware in the wild. I know that F-secure take the definitions from Kaspersky, and after that from Bitdefender, but they always add their own engine to the product. That way you can notice that (maybe in 2012) F-Secure has always had a better detection than Bitdefender (I think it was product of the year)
ESET will not save you when it come to unknown malware, qihoo at least will block the start up entry from being created. which after reboot the malware is on the pc but not active. that's a big different for an average user
how is it possible Eset did not know a new malware because Mr. @Petrovic and Mr. @Malware1 always hunting for new malware and Sud.
yes i know what it is its gdata of courseLook at my signature and you know which AV I like.
i did 3 test with ESET and 360IS both unknown ransomware in all 3 cases ESET did not do anything to protect me but the 3 tests with unknown malware 360IS did prevent the ransomware from creating a startup entry, in all 3 casses after force restart no signed of the malware but in 1 case file were encryptedhow is it possible Eset did not know a new malware because Mr. @Petrovic and Mr. @Malware1 always hunting for new malware and Sud.
ESET lab also working hard to provide the best service. for example, I is new user will trust ESET can protect my computer.
although there is no guarantee of 100% safe and I probably would learn and ask people who have experience in using ESET.
how to properly set up the ESET, in order to get a hard security.
I'm sorry, my English is bad. Peace
but one trouble with eset is their zero day protection doesn't work at all unless you configured it
btw F Secure still uses Bitdefender unless they change it
you forgot to add Qihoo haves zero day protection while eset haves zero day protection but their zero day protection needs to be configured before it can work and their HIP is not great to me because of that
you can't cnfig it, coz then it will become so buggy that you will brake the pc. it will popup on everything. not usable
Preventing zero-day malware is far easier said than done. Why not concentrate on educating yourself against current known malware, and have other backup measures for the worse case scenario.
Definitions, Heuristics, Behavioural, IDS/HIPS are only as useful as the end PC user. A Sandbox cannot determine between safe or harmful, as all changes to the main OS are denied or isolated.
That's why it's recommended to utilise multiple layers of protection, not multiple AV engines.
+ Up to date OS + Apps
+ Up to date Anti-malware + Firewall
+ Default UAC (see below)
+ Password protected Admin account - Prevents Standard users from making OS changes when an UAC prompt appears.
+ Backup (File and/or System Image)
(and anything else goes here, in case I missed something).
Product A vs B will continue on and on, so find a product that suits you best with your level of experience.
Let the others play with their zero-day malware.
we are not talking about zero day malware and how to prevent infection. we are talking about ESET VS 360.Preventing zero-day malware is far easier said than done. Why not concentrate on educating yourself against current known malware, and have other backup measures for the worse case scenario.

) you will still get yourself infected. Example :!
sorry to disappoint you but UAC won't always protect you. a lot of malware can bypass it so it doesn't worth the headache.Is there ESET vs 360 or Kaspersky vs Bitdefender or any other A vs B, in most cases the end of the story is about the same.
If you are careless and have ultragiga hybrid AV (that will come up in the future and will have 10 engines inside
You will go on some unknown site that redirects you to some page to download what you want. If someone is really careless the site will automatically download ThisIsRansomware.exe and sure, you will click on it to see what happens. OMG I got my PC locked!!!! This AV I am using really sucks!!!
Well, no. It's human error.
Especially if you have unpatched Windows and apps (Adobe, Java), malware writers treat are people who doesn't update their OS and uses older version of the most used programs, that I mentioned above. And of course, doesn't utilize UAC.
