cooldoc #1015 2.) NOD32 high-scores in recent antivirus comparatives
Virus Bulletin: 38th VB 100% award
ESET NOD32 Antivirus received its 38th VB 100% award in the June 2006
Virus Bulletin Comparative Review. ESET earned its latest VB 100%
score in this test of Windows XP antivirus products, extending its
eight-year track record as the vendor with the most awards.
�NOD32 was the first product in this month�s test with which I could
find no real fault,� reported Matt Ham, in his final comparative
review for Virus Bulletin. �Full detection across all test sets and a
lack of false positives leave me with little to comment on and earn
ESET a well-deserved VB 100% to add to its collection.�
http://www.av-comparatives.org/ : Advanced+ Certification
NOD32 Antivirus software earned another Advanced+ Certification in
the May 2006 Anti-Virus Comparative No. 10 test. The Advanced+
Certification is granted to antivirus products that demonstrate
leading proactive detection capabilities with minimal false
positives.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus achieved the highest score in proactive
detection overall in a field of 15 competing products. In the
�Proactive detection of new worms, DOS, Windows and other OS and
script viruses/malware,� ESET led by an 11 percent margin over its
next closest competitor, clearly demonstrating its strength in
identifying emerging forms of malware across a variety of platforms.
ESET won the �Proactive detection of all new samples used in the
test,� category, scoring two to three times better than major brands.
Of the two leaders in the �Proactive detection of new backdoors,
Trojans and other malware� category, NOD32 had by far the fewest
false positives, and took second place to a product with high false
positives.
�There is a wide range in detection abilities among antivirus
vendors. NOD32 consistently ranks at the top of the list of the most
proactive products across the tested malware categories,� said
Andreas Clementi, Senior Tester, Anti-Virus Comparatives.
