ok, this is only a 60,000 malware set, of which kaspersky detection 100% of, it includes all varients of malware types, including rootkits too, these percentages are just my own testing, and IN NO WAY relate to the antivirus’s overall detection rate, still a good read though right?


1 question, does avast use kaspersky signatures of any kind, why sooooo good on detection here?

im utterly shocked here, im pretty sure all these are malware samples, genuine, yet it was avast pro that found the most i tested with vista, and to be honest, avast and nod32 were the fastest at scanning/removing malware with panda a very close second, will keep my eye on avast."

The results are rather strange, I’d say… I doubt this test is very trustworty.

Anyway, no, avast! doesn’t use kaspersky engine or kaspersky signatures; all is pure avast! here.

The results are very strange. While Avast is an excellent AV, I cannot accept the NOD and several other’s results.

Best,
Jerry

OP, can you post a link to these results?
Nothing I see at AVcomparatives , or Wilders,has this detail. The feb 2007 preliminaries gives Avast “Advanced”. (Same as NOD32 this time.)
(Good enough for me!)
