Yeah, that was strange.
Could it have been that some of the samples were VM aware?
You know that is becoming very popular now and if the Malware detected it was being run in a virtual environment then it may have shut itself down.
Testers here in the near future are going to have to find a way to account for this as it is only going to happen more and more which will
skew test results.
Thanks Safe1st ;)

thank you for the test. so now no doubt zemana has one of the best detection rate
they problem was its cloud server

I wonder if pandora sandbox restricted the malwares so they didn't have the permissions to execute.
I used to use avast internet security sandbox, I couldn't barely run anything in its sandbox because of highly restricted rules, I didnt know how to change that

The main issue here and with most testers is that they only install the OS on a VM and that's all. When you do malware research you need to recreate the real machine. You need to install from Flash, Java, Acrobat Reader, Office, WinRAR and so on. Else, most samples will not work or they will not drop the payload (people from testing hub should have the same programs installed). You also need so to specify what versions you have installed, this if you wanna do it in professional way.

This is just a thought, don't take is the wrong way ;)

What you said here is not wrong, testers should have .net framework 3.5 and below, an office suite if even "open office", ect installed to present a realistic scenario, i do in my testing machine.

I think he meant what version and brand of virtulization software, not the AV software being tested ;)
