| Test of 16 Anti-Virus Products Says None Rates "Very Good" AV-Comparative recently released the results of a malware removal test in which they evaluated 16 anti-virus software solutions. The test focused only on the malware removal/cleaning capabilities, therefore all the samples used were ones that the tested anti-virus products were able to detect. The main question was if the products were able to successfully remove malware from an already infected/compromised system. None of the products performed at a level of 'very good' in malware removal or removal of leftovers, based on those 10 samples. (src: /.) http://www.net-security.org/malware_news.php?id=1137

| Was browsing news reports the other day, Microsoft's Anti-virus suddenly popped up a warning it caught an exploit trying to execute embedded code through my browser cache from said news site... and I'm using Opera 10. Never had that occur before. http://www.microsoft.com/security/po...tid=2147628045 Last edited by Kougar : 9th November 2009 at 22:56. |

| Wish I could find out for sure... not had other false positives with MSE yet. No quarantine folder and it automatically deleted the file, so I can't test the file. |

| Only have internet since mid-2004 and used Norton then, as it came 'for free' with my Belgacom account. After six months, my computer was operating from behind a sandbag fortified manhole, aiming a .50 at me and threatening with legal action, because of exemplary verbal abuse from yours truly. I switched to BitDefender after reading a multi-test in Chip-magazine. Although it came out third, I took Bitdefender because number one (G-Data) wasn't available in English and I didn't like number two's interface (AVG). After having tested BitDefender for 6 months (a cracked download) I purchased the real-deal and stuck with them for the simple reason that I'm very satisfied about the program. Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 & 2010 both work without glitches on Windows 7. |
