PrevX only problem is that it has lot of FP and classify lot of stuff as way more dangerous than they really are ...

there are many other concerns but i think the cloud (server side) analysis become part of most (or even all) security products in this category future ...

I strongly don't trust PrevX at all when looking at the forum website, because there are to many argument going on against the AV companies since Prevx suffers from many false positives for a long time since the version 2 and I am not 100% sure about the new version.

We all know Avast has done a fantastic job with the product all the Avast user are not complaining at all against Avast "agree", so why should PrevX justified there own statement with there product against other software as I don't see real hard evidence and proof at all.

Personally PrevX cannot show us real hard evidence and proof with silly policy to show how good is your product... No thanks.

-= I think, its very wrong for them to judge Panda according to the size trying to imply that "Compared to Prevx 3.0, Panda's Cloud Antivirus isn't even close".. Even with it's size, I could say that Panda has a better detection since Cloud Technology was used than Prevx's Cloud wherein most of files circulating are false positives..

-= Go Panda & prove them what you've got..!

Hi  :)


Well...
I've read some .. But Not All! .. Of that extremely long Prevx thread at Wilders.

My Conclusion!
You couldn't even pay ME to use Prevx   ;D

Why?

Coz...
From reading the Wilders thread.. It's very clear that Prevx is far from perfect  ::)
1) Things that shouldn't get past Prevx  ( Malware ) .. Often Does!
2) If something does get past Prevx and it manages to cut off your Internet .. You're -  :P
* Coz Prevx cant catch diddly squat if it can't connect to it's big bloated cloud in the WWW sky.
3) So Many False Positives ... Dangerous!  >:(
4) Lots of other silly problems that would drive me up the wall.


Everyone Knows... Avast Rocks!  8)

-= Here we are again.. From what I could remember, avast was 11th place before.. But now, 20th.. And what's intriguing is that BitDefender is in a place higher than G-Data..? ???

-= cinchez,

 G-Data's engine is composed of Avast's & BitDefender so, G-Data is supposed to have better detections but, in case, lets say that either avast or BitDefender outperforms G-Data, there shouldn't be a big gap between the two.. But on the graph, there is 5% gap between BitDefender & G-Data..

-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-

-= I feel doubted.. But I believe different people have different thoughts on this so I will freely accept any contradictions about my thought.. ;)
