Rejzor Come on dont be blind....Its not just evo-gen they later developed FilerepMalware.
And now FileString,FilrepMetagen and many more are seen to be working in the wild...agreed that deepscreen hadnt been so useful but since end of feb they are implementing and improving safemachine2 technology.
Deepscreen has improved since january...I am just curious to see how deepscreen performs when avast labs come back to their normal reaction times and recover the lost detection rate.
Still I would not compare avast to panda....Both are completely different...I guess panda updates in the cloud most of the time which is unlike avast.
I am very sure about sf detections I am seeing them in deepscreen since last month.I had like a bunch of them from my last 10 tests.
As Vlk said earlier,it is a one time failure and obviously they will make sure it will never happen again.
The reason why the scores fell soo low because it was not just the cloud but also the Virus database that got caught and suffered a set back as it was mentioned by setjko.I am sure this is happening with the VRDB for the first time.Enough said I am curious to see how avast does in upcoming months and then we can all have our opinions.
Well,zerotox I do believe even during setbacks avast labs would have tried to keep up with real threat landscape out there which no test has ever shown.
Tests are mostly useless these days,they are just for geeks like us to make fog opinions on AV's.I dont think the average Joe even knows about Testing organizations.So what they use? well,they use their own experience to make comclusions on a AV program.And everyone is bound to find 1 AV and the other bad.
On the program Bug and bloat side,I would agree.They need to seriously get rid of all that crap.
