hey!...guys check this out just think about it what kind of anti virus you want to used just for your info ****10-25 August 2004 ***** The test was made on 10-25 August 2004, using Windows 2000 SP4 on a CELERON 2400 Mhz, 256MB 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 76556 virus samples were chosen using VS2000 according to Kaspersky, F-Prot, RAV, Nod32, Dr.Web, Sweep, BitDefender, E-Trust and McAfee antivirus programs. Each virus sample was unique by virus name, meaning that AT LEAST 1 antivirus program detected it as a new virus. 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 "fake" virus samples were removed, as well as "garbage" files. The program PER was not tested because there was no english demo version available. The programs BOClean , VET , Titan , RisingAV , Ikarus 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, ÂÉÍ, 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. MS-DOS = MS-DOS and HLL*. viruses. Windows = Win.*.* viruses. Macro = Macro and Formula viruses. Malware = DoS, Constructors, Exploit, Flooders, Hoax, Jokes, Nukers, Sniffers, Spoofers, Virus Construction Tools, Virus Tools, Corrupted, Droppers, Intended, PolyEngines. Script = BAT, Corel, HTML, Java, Scripts, VBS, WBS, Worms, PHP, Perl viruses. Trojans-Backdoors = Trojan and Backdoor viruses. Rank 1. Kaspersky Personal Pro version 4.5.0.58 - 99.09% 2.
