Spyros, are you sure that Alwil team posted there? I could not found easily… just common users… :
I think i__g might be someone from the Team (post #18).
Igor Glucksmann, I suppose
well it seems it was some1 from Alwil yet that’s non Avast forum
and i remember Avast! packer support was quite “fine” and sometimes “top notch” … so i was like … hmm
hopefully just another wrong done test …
In my opinion, the scores are very strange. I think that “the number of green fields” would give much better sense than “the number of completely green rows”.
I suggest to read the full discussion below on wilderssecurity - it actually contains very relevant points.
Also, the test certainly doesn’t include the latest build of avast! (2 more packers should be supported that are not); it may be true for the other products as well.
So, I’d say that the test is “interesting”, but with very limited relevance to the real world.
well i noticed authors of these tests are quite open and they admit they “maybe” done something wrong …
and asked for comments and help from other “AV” experts … so maybe they will share theirs “test set” with You
It will be good if IBK posts here… : ???
