Administrator Lite Posted April 2, 2010 Administrator Share Posted April 2, 2010 Matousec tests various firewalls for performance vs leaktests. The latest set of results are now online.Please read all the comments on the page before making judgment. Additionally tests like this shouldn't be the only reason to choose a particular product, stability, additional features and resource usage (amongst other things) should all be important as well.Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chlorophyll Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 why comodo internet security version 4 not included in tests??BTW thanks for da news LITE :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted April 2, 2010 Administrator Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hmm Online Armor Free looks good. Does it have HIPS? They should have considered atleast v3.14 of Comodo. I guess they would use v4 in next tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Anyone have more information about the motive that Matousec refused to test Defensewall Personal Firewall V3 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted June 5, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi everybody!For those of you who were expecting Matousec's test of DefenseWall Personal Firewall, I have bad news- I got refused."Unfortunately, DefenseWall does not comply with this statement:"This means that it allows its users to control selected actions of applications."Other words, they didn't find "File and Registry Protection Excludes" dialog.

someone Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 This is the only information i found too.. so resuming: Matousec tested Avast Firewall, Look'n'Stop (sometime ago), Avira and ESET firewalls which not have a full blow HIPS.. is packet filtering... but refuse to test a HIPS/Firewall because it not annoy you with popups..... I cannot understand this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted June 11, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted June 11, 2010 Its possibly $ related. Either that or they don't like the software :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Its possibly $ related. Either that or they don't like the software :rolleyes:I don't know all the details about how Matousec do it's tests (since I not have much interest in it), but i heard something regarding a one time free testing for year (or something like that). But how you said, maybe Matousec just not liked the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot understand this...so did they not test the software correctly?Tested product: ESET Smart Security 4.0.417.0Product vendor: ESET, LLC and ESET, spol. s.r.o.Testing platform: Windows XP Service Pack 3why i get the feeling they didnt use 64 bit systems? plus eset was done over a year ago and comodo may of this year. everythign should been tested on win 7 64. i m using vista 64 and for now stick with latest este ess. ill take this all in a grain of salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 @ myidisbbI will not talk much... because sometime ago I already talked about it with another member and the chat ended in a non-friendly way... and i not wanna this occur again.But my POV is: First Matousec appeared how a "Firewall test", but without testing the Firewall capabilities...Now is a "Proactive Security Challenge" , testing softwares that not intend to protect against what they test....How you put ESET, Avast, Avira and Look'n'Stop in a test, if this apps not intend to protect against the tested parameters? Now Avira and Avast have a Behavior Blocker, so maybe is right to test it now.... but again.... i not see this modules designed to protect against registry modifications (only key ones maybe?), process injection, side-by-side infections, memory manipulation and stuff like this. So is not right compare different softwares with different intentions in the same methodology. HIPS is good if you have technical knowledge. A "common people" executing a crack for their preferred game most probably will not ready (even if ready will not understand all prompts) and probably will say: "Ow not annoy me now - I wanna play" and click : yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. When you test a HIPS against a know malicious software is one thing.... analyze the malicious behavior from one thing that you not have sure if it's malicious or no, is another. But this is only my 2 cents. Not take it seriously.Regarding the test be performed in win7 x64, most of the testes will not work by default I think, because of the kernel patch protection, and some others if you not elevate to ADM and answer the UAC prompt, will not work too. But I not have sure.The ESET test is a one year old because ESET not wanna pay Matousec to perform the test against the new version maybe (since probably they not give importance for the test).
