Very good initiative from NSS Labs! :thumb: I've been curious to see which AV-product gives best protection against exploits, since a big amount...
Antivirus vendors not covering this threat so well yet... Check the following files in VirusTotal: PwDump7.exe MD5 hash:...
driverw.sys (MD5: 0f8249a2593f38c6bf54b6f366c0cac6) detected by Avira as "TR/Rootkit.Gen" (current VT stats: 33/42) Firefox.exe (MD5:...
I checked the thirst-of-night.html file in VirusTotal ~ VirusTotal Results Removed per Policy ~. So far, seems clean. JSUnpack didn't find...
What I think Marcos is trying to explain is to check a file (services.exe) located in the following directory: %WINDIR%\system32 Try to upload...
Suggestion: How about adding monitoring of .PIF, .BAT, .SCR, .COM (especially), and .VBS files?
Had a quick trial of the program. Tested it against a small collection of malware (on-demand scan of a folder). I couldn't find any option for...
I'm no expert when it comes to Visual Basic, but the visual basic script seems to pop up a message box and create a web page ("virus.html") that...
Sorry if I missed something, but there's something weird about the Sunbelt results: it's stated in the results posted that Sunbelt passed 50 tests...
You could also try using Unlocker to unlock the problem file.
Ah, yes! They have not properly implemented the protective cup/jockstrap in their software ;D
Thanks for reminding us, trjam. I use Avira as my main AV, but still bought a license for Avast :thumb:
Very good written report, and nice screen shots! Good work AVC! The only thing I am missing in the report is that there is no mention of what the...
Yes, that is correct. But there are also runtime compressed executables or "encrypted" executables (to avoid AV detection or to "hide" code) that...
Based on this test I would guess Microsoft is one of the better antiviruses when it comes to "cleaning up" after an infection. But this test isn't...
The long scan time is probably due to Dr Web's unpacking abilities (can unpack just about any file/format). I would suggest running an AV...
Not only that, but I think also the Web guard is not included in the free version. The web guard is very good for stopping browser exploits before...
I hope you're not complaining that NOD is constantly getting virus definition updates. Nothing's better than that! :thumb: It's a while since...
Another Rescue cd which might do the job: Avira AntiVir Rescue System. (Avira has very high detection rate.)
Finding the MD5 value of the file, and then googling that value can sometimes give answers...
What I wonder is how the original poster came to the conclusion that Avira and BitDefender detect malware based on file sizes (as suggested in the...
There is a pretty big difference between 82 and 93%. Your post makes it seem like they're performing as they always have, ie giving stable...
I think all virus tests are good... small or big they all serve a purpose (if done with enough documentation), that is to point out flaws or holes...
Duplication? Unless you're using AVG Anti-Virus and AVG AntiSpyware/Ewido, it's not duplication, but layered protection. Just like there's...
Are there any tests that DrWeb still partakes in? If so, which? Or are they too good to be part of any test?
