Free Antivirus Comparison Chart

Thank you Tech! I read the results yesterday but didn’t think about that!

Brandonn2010, will you publish your chart in any site?
It would be very useful as reference.

Yes, that’s fine.

Brandon’s Free Antivirus Comparison Chart is now published here for easy reference.

sorry didn’t see the link. :-[
Have looked at your post??? it doesn’t show very much of his chart ???

You were right. Sorry.

It should be allright now.

tell them to browse this forum and sure they will be an avast user after browsing. :slight_smile:


Thanks, Brandonn2010

You did very well with the chart. :slight_smile:


You’ll need to update the chart as avast has now WebRep as a site rating.
You can see it at Evangelists’ board.

Well that technically isn’t an avast function built into avast, but a browser add-on by avast. How it develops in the future is not clear.

See Vlk’s post in its announcement

today we would like to introduce a beta version of our new product – avast! WebRep which will become an integral part of upcoming avast! 6.0.

And what is it for the others antivirus?
That should be written in the comparison chart.

Yes, but how it is implemented and how it acts isn’t clear as know one has said how it will work.

Well aside from the fact that it is a) currently only a beta, b) isn’t integral to avast it is only a browser add-on, so we really can’t jump the gun and say it is something that it isn’t.

Not to mention what category would you be putting it in, in the Comparison list as suggested ?
I can’t see a category that fits, so I can’t see what other AVs would be calling it in any comparative category. There isn’t a category for Web Reputation or anything close that I can see.

I actually added a category for site ratings, since the AV Comparartives summary report for 2010 mentioned site ratings in all their reviews.

Scroll down the page until you find the last chart posted. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=290691&page=2

Just that I didn’t see anything in ‘this topic’ relating to it and this is where I’m commenting.

Not that it makes a whole lot of difference as this currently is in a stand alone browser add-on beta and not incorporated into avast.

Yeah, that is what “site rating” means for me.
