[QUOTE="itman71, post: 986461, member: 83966"] Since AVLab testing enhancements are being discussed here, I'll add my comments. Eset offers two consumer suite versions, Internet Security and Smart Security Premium. The later which was tested by AVLab is the product offering cloud scanning capability that Eset advertises will protect you against 0-day malware. Also. the cost of ESSP is significantly higher than EIS. The problem is how does a consumer validate that ESSP cloud scanning is effective as claimed? I also assume this same situation exists with other AV vendors product offerings. I therefore propose another test level be added. That is a test performed with the test server Internet connection disabled. This test would parallel the periodic Malware Protection test performed by A-V Comparatives. Obviously, the test with the Internet connection disabled would be performed first to prevent any cloud scanning detection's influencing its detection rates. Finally, it is imperative that malware test samples are representative of what the vendor claims to detect in its cloud scanner. In Eset's case that would be anything downloaded via browser or e-mail. Also, the samples should include executable's, scripts, etc.. [/QUOTE]
