avmad Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks to West Coast Labs, PC & Tech Authority is providing its readers with real time access to the testing data from free security suites. This means you’ll be able to see the prevention rates as a percentage across the three vectors, as well as the average prevention rate for each servicehttp://www.westcoastlabs.com/realTimeTesting/article/?articleID=1#item3In order to evaluate the effectiveness of free antivirus solutions, West Coast Labs has been running ongoing performance capability tests against a large number of samples from their ‘Real Time Project’, which leverages a geographically dispersed honeypot network to capture and provide a set of streaming samples 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.Looks like a different approach to testing Anti Malware products. Quite interesting :) Shame it's only free products, but worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety.Abd Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It is a shame that it's limited to free AVs. I doubt if proprietary AVs would do any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
