mmzz k-av is still the best look @ this
2-16 April 2005
*
The test was made on 02-16 April 2005, using Windows
XP Professional SP1 on a P4 2600 Mhz, 512MB DDRAM.
*
All programs tested had the latest versions, upgrades
and updates and they were tested using their full scanning
capabilities e.g. heuristics, full scan etc. The default
settings of each program were not used, in order for each
program to achieve its maximum detection rate. Because of
this, there is a possibility for the tested programs to
detect a few false positives.
*
The 91202 virus samples were chosen using VS2000
according to Kaspersky, F-Prot, RAV, Nod32, Dr.Web, Sweep,
BitDefender and McAfee antivirus programs. Each virus sample
was unique by virus name, meaning that AT LEAST 1 antivirus
program detected it as a new unique virus (by virus name).
*
ALL virus samples were unpacked and the only samples
that were kept were the ones that were packed using
external-dos-packers (that means not winzip, winrar, winace
etc).
*
The virus samples had the correct file extension using
a special program (Renexts) and were unique, according to
checksum32 filesize.
*
Most of the virus samples used were not previously
replicated at the time the test was made, which means that
some of them, although probably only a few, may be false
positives. The procedure of testing each and every virus
sample is still under process.
*
The program PER was not tested because there was no
english demo version available.
*
The programs Extendia AVK , BOClean , VET , Titan ,
RisingAV and Freedom were not tested because there was no
demo version available.
* The program InVircible did not include a "typical"
scanner-function and could not be tested.
*
The program V-Catch checks only mail accounts and
could not be tested.
The following file types were used.
BAT, ΒΙΝ, CLA, CLASS, CLS, COM, CSC, DAT, DOC, ELF, EML,
EXE, HLP, HQX, HTA, HTM, IMG, INF, INI, JS, MAC, MDB, MSG,
OLE, PHP, PIF, PL, PPT, PRC, REG, SCR, SH, SHS, SMM, STI,
TD0, TPU, VBA, VBS, WBT, XLS, XMI, XML.
The virus samples were divided into these categories,
according to the type of the virus :
*
File = BeOS, FreeBSD, Linux, Palm, OS2, Unix,
BinaryImage, BAS viruses, MenuetOS viruses.
*
MS-DOS = MS-DOS and HLL*. viruses.
*
Windows = Win.*.* viruses.
*
Macro = Macro and Formula viruses.
*
Malware = Adware, DoS, Constructors, Exploit,
Flooders, Nukers, Sniffers, Spoofers, Virus Construction
Tools, Virus Tools, Droppers, PolyEngines.
*
Script = BAT, Corel, HTML, Java, Scripts, VBS, WBS,
Worms, PHP, Perl viruses.
*
Trojans-Backdoors = Trojan and Backdoor viruses.
