-= :-\ we’re being drilled down by now in the graph… same thing for nod32…
Hi 
Well…
I’ve read some … But Not All! … Of that extremely long Prevx thread at Wilders.
My Conclusion!
You couldn’t even pay ME to use Prevx ;D
Why?
Coz…
From reading the Wilders thread… It’s very clear that Prevx is far from perfect :
1) Things that shouldn’t get past Prevx ( Malware ) … Often Does!
2) If something does get past Prevx and it manages to cut off your Internet … You’re - 
* Coz Prevx cant catch diddly squat if it can’t connect to it’s big bloated cloud in the WWW sky.
3) So Many False Positives … Dangerous! >:(
4) Lots of other silly problems that would drive me up the wall.
Everyone Knows… Avast Rocks! 8)
Prevx and NOD32 are still fighting for last place, and Panda…Nr.10
-= Here we are again… From what I could remember, avast was 11th place before… But now, 20th… And what’s intriguing is that BitDefender is in a place higher than G-Data…? ???
@Hally
Ur abosolutely 100% correct!
Avast! rocks and ummm…how should i say it…Prevx insults others while insulting themselves^^
@chronoboi^^
heheh this is life and it is unpredictable^^

and a show in the Endpoint Magic Quadrant 2009 for Gartner says to me Prevx is doing just fine. 8)
-= cinchez,
G-Data’s engine is composed of Avast’s & BitDefender so, G-Data is supposed to have better detections but, in case, lets say that either avast or BitDefender outperforms G-Data, there shouldn’t be a big gap between the two… But on the graph, there is 5% gap between BitDefender & G-Data…
-==–==–==–==–==–==–==–==-
-= I feel doubted… But I believe different people have different thoughts on this so I will freely accept any contradictions about my thought… 
what if Gdata are using there own virus database and not the one from avast and bitdefender ???
And F-secure are using Kaspersky engine…
what if Gdata are using there own virus database and not the one from avast and bitdefender
Virus engine and virus database (signatures) is to different things

This topic is about Prevx and its charts, so stop talking about that…
Thanks
Just out of my curiosity, I decided to test Prevx on my work laptop today.
During its initial scan, it reported 7 infections.
All of these were false positives.
Some of them were reported as “High Risk Rootkits” while the files were in fact drivers of my network card (T-mobile wireless card).
So I guess this explains how the stats on their homepage get computed (and how relevant they are, really).
I guess I’m just not ready for this Collective Intelligence thing.
Never believe in freewares that become shareware. PrevX never more.
Hope that Alwil team will never frustrate me
