AV Comparatives

Hi Guys,

What do you think about the dynamic tests from AV Conmparatives?
Avast did better in last test

I think the better would be waiting for the end of the test to comment.
av-comparatives is an independent and respectable testing company.

I'm happy because avast! did much better than on the older Dynamic Tests. But I suppose when Av-Comparatives will summarize the years' results, avast! will get a very bad position..  :'(

It won't be a surprise. avast needs to improve a lot the 0-day detection.

That's one of the things why I hope 5.1 and 6 will improve.
Besides that Avast has a great Sandbox which will protect you in a lot of cases

only the pro/is version has this. a lot of users have the free version.

the sandbox will bee free in the 6th version, but I might be wrong.

Only in a limited way, for some scans I believe, but not the ability to sandbox an application as it is in the Pro/AIS versions.
