Hmm. So eScan, Symamantec, MS, F-Secure, Kaspersky, BitDefender performed good. :think:

Please code the link and remove "xx".

I think Dr. Web will score good if tested too. Avira, Avast, GDATA and ESET perform good at detections but not in cleaning.

For ESET you are right. I don't use it too often for removing infections(also scannin pc).

God knows, I'm not a prophet. :P

But yea I feel that Kas, ESET and Norton have the best chances.

Personally i think Kaspersky and ESET is not scoring good because they are mainstream.... you know... when you are at the top, you is the target. Kaspersky and ESET is the most popular AVs in the last years... so when malware writers is doing their job they always is more worried in evade detection of this two. But who knows? Now with norton and Avast coming from the mid pack and going to the top along side with the others we have more options at least.

Well in some points you are right but I don't understand this, if a hacker codes a trojan/virus, he would target all the AV's.

why you would worry evade detection for escan? how much people use this? Now how much people use KAV/ESET? if you pack/obfuscate or anything like that and you defeat the best currently heuristics/detections methods, you already have a chance to defeat the others. But i not have knowledge in write malware so i think you are right.

Anyway have 2 more test here:

Yup, I share your feeling.

@someone: Thanx for the link.

@dcs18: To be really honest. I have never used v2 of ESET.

I was not knowin about any AV called ESET before a year ago. When my PC was infected by a autorun virus. A chief in a manufacturing recommended to use ESET. And here I'm, usin it happily. The best thin I like about ESET is it's low resources. ;)

@ DKT27

Current version is V4.0.468. More than 2 years ago V2 prevailed and the last version was V2.70.39. The V2 actually launched NOD32 into the top 3 at that time. thumbs-up10.gif
