Antiviruses Comparison - A Little Research Results Hi everyone! Just wanted to say to all of you that Mcafee(Pro 8) seems to be the best antivirus around. Mcafee auto updates itself without asking(norton asks). And displays It is the only one(from norton 2004,panda and mcafee) who identifies the following as viruses/backdoors: 1. VBS/Inor.B 2. VBS/Psyme 3. Exploit -CodeBase.Gen 4. JS/Exploit-FileProxy 5. JV/ShinWow 6. X-Wreck(my own - unpublished backdoor - identified by the huristic engine) 7. http://www.realtime-spy.com keylogger 8. Cain & Abel(which is a trijan) - as possibly evil tool 9. Nmap - as possibly evil tool As the facts proove mcafee is the best for now, though i saw a research claiming BitDefender as the best. BitDefender is great, but comparing it with mcafee is a little hard task to do. Rafel Ivgi, The-Insider.
The test results (sponsored by "PC Utilities" mag) at this site agree with most of your observations: http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/default.asp?id=62&mnu=62 -- Cheers, Dan Renner President Los Angeles Computerhelp http://losangelescomputerhelp.com 818.352.8700 _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
