[QUOTE="Anthony Qian, post: 1026699, member: 91446"] Artemis = JTI. The detection name of McAfee on VirusTotal is still "Artemis!MD5". Real Protect is not so effective, especially against backdoor trojan samples that are prevalent in China. McAfee is VERY bad against script malware. On the contrary, McAfee often fails to detect signed and inflated samples. Malware samples with valid signature (WHQL Rootkit for example) are likely to be whitelisted automatically by McAfee's False Positive Mitigation function. Some inflated malware are too big to be uploaded to VirusTotal, on which McAfee relies to obtain new samples and, possibly, detections from other vendors (yeah, I've found some evidence suggesting that McAfee copies other vendors' detection.) As a result, JTI/Artemis fails to detect these samples. [/QUOTE]
