CrowdStrike? Is this a new company or a revamped one?
They're one of these "next-gen" antivirus vendors that don't rely on signatures. They've been around for a good few years. Believe they were founded in 2011 or 2012 and have been involved in a couple of high profile breach investigations over the years.
 
So interesting... All programs had 96% at least and 9 programs got 100%. Such a useful test to decide what to use. I will call this tests antimalware bible from now on.
Oh, this is a real-world test hence this is real life people, get excited.
 
Panda 100% and no false positives, and there are people who say that Panda is weak,
In the test it was better than Kaspersky, Eset, Norton, Avira and AVG :)

They don't know when you are being blatantly sarcastic... but I do. :D

"antimalware bible"... LOL :rolleyes:

You have to keep it real simple so others will understand what you are really saying... like... "AV suxx !!"
 
That eScan AV (Cloud) has got my attention, I may give it a look.
Thanks for the post Bora, I get the reports in my inbox but I have
not checked my email for 2 days :p
Sorry guys after a little homework, I changed my mind on trying this ;)
I know a UI does not imply a good or bad product, but that has to be
hands down the ugliest UI I have ever seen for a AV, and the minimal
effort that went into that scares me, nope not trying it.
