Yes indeed! When I tested it about 2 weeks ago, I was quite surprised to see the boost in their detection. I was already aware of their excellent webguard but when I tested it, I ignored its warnings and downloaded the files and the detection was really good unlike my experience with version 2012.

At least they're accepted in these tests, and results are above 80%.

RE: av-comparatives - Sep Real World Protection Test

I'm not aware of Webroot guaranteeing 100% detection or any claims like that, and I'm not saying that they have not. As far as I know, the reason you're and most are disappointed is because you assume Webroot (Prevx) runs like any other AV product.

In my opinion, Webroot performed well for something another vendor cannot do.

If you look at the chart:
(Webroot) - 11.2% is user dependent, but a 0.6% compromised.
(AVG) - 4.2% user dependant and 1.2% compromised.
(Avast) - 3.5% user dependant and 1.1% compromised.
(Avira) - 1.5% user dependant and 2.7% compromised.

Webroot has a lower compromised rate than 3 AVs that show to detect over 90% of the threats.

Detections rate don't mean squat, that 11.2% is the difference between a clean and infected PC. It's the User infront of the PC who is at fault, not the product. So no, I don't believe Webroot have failed this or that, or any other tests.

Again, I don't take these results to heart.

i m agree with u avira is tooooo better from WSA
I have a trojen due to this i m unable to install kaspersky but WSA not detected it while one day i scan with MBAM it shows trojen that prevented kaspersky to install & also when MBAM shows this threat suddenly WSA shows trojen warning for taking credite.
one thing i like in WSA is its fast scanning.

I partially agree with you here,but perhaps the test was done keeping in mind the not to technically minded people as well, and by that i mean people who click "yes" or "ok" to every prompt that they see. these people in my opnion are in the majority in real world.
So ideally this tests distinguishes the products capability of how much it can do without the users input.

Actually Trend has improved well over a year or two. It's only get better with this result especially its webguard.
