Latest test from AV-Comparatives:
Detection of potentially unwanted programs
avast! scored 82% for spyware, adware and all that good stuff. Not too bad, considering it is not a dedicated spyware/adware removal application.
Can’t find on this site the tests for PUP’s. (can find av tests.) Is it in a different area of the site, or are you reading the results from the August AV tests?
82% is far better than I expect from Avast!, I hope Alwil will be more focus on improving the detection of adware/spyware/unwanted software in the way of unified anti-threat software in a single product.
The additional tests are on the very bottom of the same page that has the AV tests. Just scroll down a little more.
Got it. Nice. Thanks.
