What you don't consider is that those higher rated are also known to generate higher FPS due to aggressive heuristics... I can score 100% if i detect every file as malware.... :) In those charts, we are talking not of run of the mill malware randomly selected from a set of all malware. The...

AV Engine Detection Rating Comparisons?

A retrospective test is done by avcomparitives as you already know. For your original test, you were carrying out a different test from AVcomparativies based on a smaller sample of "new" malware (as far as i can make out based on your scanty methodology details anyway), so comparisons are not...

AV Engine Detection Rating Comparisons?

Heh. Everyone knows that kaspersky's conventional heuristics are not that strong. They rely on fast updates, good static unpacker and prodefense module (not the same as the usual heuristics that people talk about) which can't be tested by merely scanning on demand.

It's nothing new of course (Storm worm has being on the radar screen for months now). But it really shows what can be done with malware if the bad guy is really determined and puts together pretty much every known trick in the book.

Yes, there are. A ton of them actually (many free), but they are mostly niche products used by the more knowledgable and paranoid group. See http://wiki.castlecops.com/HIPS_FAQ http://wiki.castlecops.com/HIPS/IDP_programs/services http://wiki.castlecops.com/Lis...ware_behavior_blockers...

It's just a test to see if your AV is functioning. That's all. It's not meant to test how good it is. Anyone remember that there was a similar attempt a few years back to create a anti-trojan simulator test file for anti-trojans kind of like Eicar but for anti-trojans...
