[QUOTE="Vitali Ortzi, post: 1111383, member: 57714"] The av used for detection are more aggressive Norton power eraser uses more aggressive huristics then max settings on Symantec and uses some that are exclusive to the scanner (Symantec diagnostics , Norton power eraser is on purpose built to find as much malware as possible) Hitman pro is far more aggressive then sophos too Obviously they would detect more and have more false positives then defender With 100 samples I'm sure the super aggressive scanners would get better results so what as they aren't a realtime av for obvious reasons and if he tested sophos , Norton consumer products on default settings they should miss some samples just like defender "Power Eraser scans and virus and spyware scans both run an active scan and a full scan.
