AlienForce1 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Matousec`s Proactive Security Challenge Latest news * 2011-08-27: A single product update: * BitDefender Internet Security 2011 14.0.30.357BitDefender Internet Security has been improved again. Its new 97% score suggests that there are not many tests that can bypass its protection. Although its overall protection has been improved, some of the problems with its application behavior control module, which we identified last time, were not mitigated. Many alerts displayed by BitDefender Internet Security still lack important information that would help users to make correct decisions. More information can be found in the final report (http://www.matousec....14.0.30.357.pdf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndoe Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 i'd take that study with a bag of salt (as opposed to a pinch of salt), not likely this "online solutions security suite", comodo, outpost, malware defender, private firewall, anything at all from pctools are in the top 10 and avg, f-secure, avast, eset are at the very bottom!!!

Except AVG that sucks big time, others may not have strong HIPS, or even wont have any HIPS. Just wait ESET 5 to release, you'll see it climbing.

Just wait ESET 5 to release, you'll see it climbing.I believe too that ESET 5 will be finally a first step ahead for a good firewall from ESET - yet , they should put some basic rules in that HIPS for the well known programs ...

johndoe Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 i think it was mentioned previously by someone somewhere in the forums matousec is very partial/biased and untrustworthy. you can see noname "security software"scoring higher numbers that all the big players which is very unlikely, don't you think? in addition to the ones I mentioned above, they're getting higher numbers than even kaspersky and NIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxhedroom Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I don't take ANY review seriously when there is a 'Get it now!' link next to the 'top rated' entries. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankV Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 There are many different organisations who judge security suites. I think the most reliable is the Austrian AV Comparitives. Please look at thier latest independent performance test: here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avmad Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Remember this is just a hips test. If product doesn't use hips it will be at the bottom. Most aggresive hips will prob hit the top. You can't judge a product solely on hips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anuraag Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Statement from matousecOnline Armor temporarily disqualifiedDifferent Internet Experience Ltd.has established number of business connections on the field of Windows security. Our clients and partners, vendors of the market leading security products, benefit from our testing and research services. Many of their products implement the technology that was designed, developed or tested in our labs.One of our business connections, partnership with Tall Emu Pty Ltd, the original vendor of Online Armor, has been ended recently. Our break-up did not go well. Our companyraised claims against Tall Emu Pty Ltd closely related to Online Armor products that have not been satisfied and hence the whole dispute will probably takea long time to solve. In order to protect our company we are forced to temporarily disqualify Online Armor products from our projects. Online Armor will be returned as soon as the dispute is solved or when there is a significant move in the case that is likely to solve the case in a short period of time.
