AV-Comparatives New Test (August 2009)
« on: September 20, 2009, 02:37:25 AM »
AV-C released today the new test. Surpriced that nobody posted the test! but the forum is a little nohelic these days especially the beta corner!
the PDF can be found on http://www.av-comparatives.org/
cannot link to the PDF due to AV-C restrictions, it can be found under Comparative Reviews - Main Tests.

Avast 4.8 scored very high as always with 5 false positives, gaining the Advanced+ award. It was also the fastest in Scanning speed without transient technologies by other contenters, just pure speed.
Surpriced by McAffee that scored high this time but with Artemis (in the cloud) enabled. Also Symantec was expected to be high along with Avira. FSecure seems to be finding its way again. GData has reduced the number of False positives and it was the top of the contenders in terms of Detection but no wonder since it uses the avast engine  8) along with BD engine which scored high as well.

Looking forward to seeing avast 5 scoring a 99.9% in the next test!

Was surprised to see that avira was not no.1 this time.
It is not possible to divide anything by zero

Well done Alwil.
Probably cause for a few after work drinks, perhaps?
I know that the "rankings" move around a bit from quarter to quarter. What impresses me is that Avast always ranks quite well, and sometimes (as in this case) very well indeed.

 avast 4.8 beat most of AVs with heuristics in detections. Now, what else if avast 5 gets into some comparatives. BOOM. Major reshuffle for Avira & GData. :grin:

Major reshuffle for Avira & GData. :grin:

Avira found 21,000 more detections, but had 16 more FP's.

Also they did make a fault because its 1351 no 1348 lol.

Also Tarq his self did not update his signature for say 1351 instead of 1335 lol.

Wake up guys and girls.
