[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1026701, member: 99014"] There are many that fail against signed malware for various different reasons. I’ve seen McAfee detecting a lot of them even when inflated as RealProtect/Peng-SDS!MD5. The rootkits mentioned may not be added to detection at all due to them being threat artefacts and by themselves, unless deployed as part of an attack or abused, not really malicious. Symantec for years has had a very clear and strict policy not to add threat artefacts to their detections, as virus definitions are not a bin for everything to be thrown in there. Others like Avira and Eset will even detect phishing pages and PDFs through definitions. There are many components and each has its task. McAfee for the general home usage provides enough protection. In the cases of advanced attacks it will not be as good as others. It all depends on what one needs. [/QUOTE]
