Congratulations to ALWIL team for achieving yet another ADVANCED mark on AV-Comparatives test! It’s certanly showing a steady increase in detection rate.
Check out the latest August 2006 test (released around hour ago).
I am especially glad to see Avast improve in the area of trojan detection. That has been a weak spot in my view. The improvement from 80.35% to 88.35% is significant.
Now if the “other malware” and “other OS viruses/malware” categories can make similar improvements Avast will make Advanced + I feel sure.
Yes significant improvement on Trojan detection and an improvement in the bottom line figures also to Total 92.01% and Total including DOS viruses/malware 94.58% - Up from 89.24% and 93.58% respectively.
It is nice to see these improvements, onwards and upwards.
lets hope it gets the ++++ next time Avg scored badly so Avast is still to me the best free for light av’s i didnt like Antivir and kaspersky ground me to a halt…yuk … avast is the lightest yet good work…
Not yet - avast! engine will be included in the next version (AVK 2007), this test was still done with Bitdefender engine. As a remark says (in av-comparatives report), the new version will be tested next year.
