Testing the on-demand detection of different AV with old malwares.

[sujay]

Hi, alpha1.. trojan remover has many other ways to block trojan infection. It relies only slightly on signature. So please don't judge its efficiency based on on-demand detection..
About detections of others I am not surprised because,
Coranti: Bitdender+F-prot+Lavasoft+Norman
Ashampoo: Emsisoft+Ikarus
Trustport: Bitdefender+AVG
Webroot: Sophos+Spysweeper

Which Panda did you use? Was it the cloud scanner (free or paid), the installed av or their activescan? Or something else?

I used Panda AV with all features set to maximum. I actually faced some problem with Panda scan. Panda do not remove infected archive/installer and so from the left files I actually had to calculate the number of infected archive by seeing the log file. Panda should include a feature to remove them.

Your response is confusing. Can you be specific...
Panda AV 2010 or Panda Cloud AV?
If Cloud, free or paid?
If not Cloud, please test it, too.
Thank you.

It was Panda AV 2010. It also checks in the cloud during scanning. I may not find enough time to check the cloud AV.

Raymond also tested that leo. I know Dr Web suspects that as malware but as from the results it is quite evident that it is not a malware itself.. Actually other system tuning products from that site is not healthy...
