The last few years trend has only been improving its web guard and its quality of signatures never really improved but this year trend really made a massive overhaul and I like it.

I'm really socked to see Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security with 100%..... How could they get such a good score?.....
Last time I've tried a Trend Micro product , I was impressed by the web guard however when I've tried to throw some malware at it, this product didn't do that great....
Did Trend Micro added a behavior blocker,hips,file reputation or auto-sandbox to the products? How could they block 100% of the malware with just an antivirus and a web guard?Did I miss something? :)

PS. Another bad result for Webroot.......... ;)

Well from what I seen by both user and my tests, These tests have been making sense. Trend Micro really has improved from its recent 2013 release, GData I haven't really researched, and F-Secure is doing pretty well. You guys got to see that because a product performed bad in the past doesn't mean it will not improve.
For example, Symantec made a major overhaul in 2009 to Norton and it was getting top scores then it was before. Same goes for Bitdefender, It was performing average a couple of years ago and now its a top program.

I still don't understand how bitdefender get such a good score in every test whereas at our forum its testing result remain same or below compare to other av.

Please note this is not my view::p

While reading one forum i found a reply there about TM getting 100% score

100% and it will slow your computer to a slow sputter. The only reason that it got 100% is because it slowed the computer to a crawl and couldn't download any malware

It uses Kaspersky scanning engine just like ZoneAlarm.

Thanks.:D

Wasn't it BitDefender engine SDK + eScan's own engine.? I think i've read it somewhere before. They used to have Kaspersky as their former engine. Maybe i'm wrong.. i'm not totally sure actually.

:D

:D

After doing some more research, I'm confused to which engine they are currently using. Some reports say that used Kaspersky then switched to BitDefender, then went back to Kaspersky because of some problems.

I can't find any info on their site to confirm which engine they are currently using.

Thanks.:D
