Being that my comments on the GiveawayOfTheDay are always late (other posts seem to get immediate approval), I'm posting this here...
Warning!
Okay, so I decided to test this. Downloaded and activated fine on my XP SP2 1.6 Intel Centrino Mobile w/512mb RAM.
Installation took about 1 minute but Safen
Sec 2009 + Antivirus Dr. WEB took an additional 40 minutes scanning my system and setting itself up.
I found and downloaded an encrypted rar (a compressed archive) that contained 500 trojans/malware/virus/adware, etc. and extracted the malware executables to a folder on my desktop.
I directed the Safen
Sec 2009 + Antivirus Dr. WEB to scan that folder and it only recognised 301 as dangerous! That’s right 199 just left sitting there like they were nothing! So basically we’re looking at a lousy 60% detection and removal.
So I then recovered my system and ran the same test using Kaspersky Internet Security 7
Out of the 500 baddies Kaspersky Internet Security 7 only missed 40. So that’s a detection rate of 92%
Hmm – looks like I’ll stick with Kaspersky and the odd online scan at one of the many now available.
I hope this gives anyone considering replacing their current security solution with this one second thoughts.
I can’t recommend this software.
Thanks GAOTD,
